ActionScript 2.0 :: Stripping Strings - Separate The Punctuation (in Order)
Jul 28, 2004
i have 10 sentences i am importing into flash from xml. here is a sample:
[Code]...
what i really want is the punctuation put into its own array. i strip c like this: Code: var strings = c.split(" "); and of course that places every character into the array and the last character is "legs!". for other purposes i need to split it in every character but how can i now separate the punctuation (in order) so i can recall it later.

I was just wondering if this is possible and the best way to achieve the following.I have 3 classes. One base class and 2 subclasses. eg MyShape, Square, Circle. The Circle and Square classes both override the MyShape's assignProperties method which takes a string as its argument.What I do in this method is loop through a serialized string and assign variables.So the string looks something like p:10|x:200|f:300Because some of the properties are generic to the MyShape class I have the Circle and Square assignProperties call super.assignProperties()Now this all works great but I realised I'm going to get some repitition calling it at each level.
So I was thinking is it possible to get the supers.assignProperties to strip a property from the string if it is found before the assignProperties in the Circle and Square class is called.Here is sort of what I have with a little pseudo codeSquare Class assignProperties Method
PHP Code:
assignProperties(_properties:String) {
var properties:Array = _properties.split('|');

I've toyed with this script for some time now and I am having issues removing lines of code and still getting my script to work. Basically I want to keep how this code loads and centers the parts of that code that refer to "mc" but I want to take out anything that refers to "bkg". I have gone through the code step by step to comment out areas but when I get to the very bottom, if I comment out this line:

I work on AS3 one week, and then take a break for a few weeks, then work on it a day, take a break, etc.. So I forget some of the basics, and need refreshers. I think I need to stop taking breaks.
Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.

I tried searching the forum and web on this, and I'm sure it's out there somewhere, but couldn't find it. I thought I was done with my project today- and at the nth hour, right before it was time to go home, sigh, - I realized that for some reason, neither the numbers or punctuation were showing up in dynamic text that was being pulled in via XML. Anyone know this one? I'm an XML dummy.

What I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?

In my flash application I am using a typewriter effect, to make it seem as if text is written on the fly. When I do so, my punctuation marks (question mark, dot, ect.) get aligned to the wrong direction (to the right). I am writing in Hebrew (right-to-left).

I currently have text fields that read data in from an xml file. Previously i used default font (times new roman) and the punctuation displayed fine. I have since tried to move to Arial (textformat.font = "Arial" and setting embed font to true in the txtboxes) which does not display any punctuation. Is there a function to allow this or is it more complex?

I'm fairly new to Flash (over the last few months I have followed Actionscripting in books and online tutorials and can do basics by essentially following the recipes, but am having considerably more problems putting it all together for my own program).
I am trying to create a program for my students that will take their text input in fields like author, title, publisher, date, place of publication, etc. and output bibliography citations in the proper format (complete with punctuation). What is the best way to handle the text formatting to add punctuation and make the citation entries? Your text tutorial on color and other properties is very good, as well as the input text that returns the words, but how do I go one more step to add my punctuation to the user's input?

If I create a new flash AS3 file and create two blank keyframes in my actions layer I can add actions to each keyframe separately no problem. I can then easily switch between the actions frames from the menu bar on the left of the actions input panel. However if I try and do this on any of my projects i've been working on for a while when I create a new blank keyframe in the actions layer and try to add actions to it, I get sent straight back to my first actions keyframe and not a nice blank page. Can I even apply seperate actions to seperate keyframes?

This is NOT the same as my last thread as i am after three and NOT ONE as last time. In the attached movie there are three seperate movies loading into three seperate tweens. Please note that i am happy with this movie as it is, and do not want to change anything about it except for the script itself. It refurs to three seperate clips "b.a","d.c" and "f.e". What i want is for the script to incorperate all three clips under one name of "mc" And instead of have three seperate widths, "width 1","width2" and "width3" i want the script to also incorperate all three widths and heights into just one name of "width" and one name of "height".

I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?

I am rendering html in a Flex 3.x UITextField. The problem I am facing now is that when punctuation is at the end of a word, it can sometimes be wrapped to the next line.
For example:
That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger ,so I became a developer.
This seems like a bug in the algorithm to me. Is there a workaround?

I've got a textfield with a bunch of punctuation which is always surrounded by spaces. So that for instance: I don't recall saying 'pick up the boot' or 'now is the time'. But it's possible , so I may have. What is the regular expression syntax to get rid of these spaces? I'm working in actionscript. It's actually both leading and trailing, as you can see from the above example.

I'm creating a fill-in-the-blank quiz in AS 2.0 and would like to make the comparison between the correct and submitted answer a little less harsh during the comparison. The quiz actually consists of memorizing a sentence or two from say a poem and I'd like to not include any errors of punctuation due to a misplaced or missed comma, exclamation pt or period. as long as the spelling is good then the user should get the correct answer. Below is a little snippet:

I have need to restrict user input. TextInput should restrict all special characters and punctuation. Any other characters are allowed. In java there is a regex patter:

Is there something similar in actionscript?

I'm trying to solve an Actionscript problem using E4X.I have an XML like this one:
<root>
<person firstname="john" lastname="doe" age="21" />
<person firstname="jayne" lastname="doe" age="35" />[code]....
I want to have just one function search() that takes three parameters (firstname, lastname, age) and return an XMLList. So the result could look like this:
var result:XMLList = xml..person.(@firstname == firstName && @lastname == lastName && @age == age );
But I don't want to use all three parameters all the time. I would like to have a function that uses a 'wilcard' if the parameter is NULL. So if the wildcard would be "*" the function could look like:
searchPerson( firstName:String ="*", lastName:String = "*" , age:String = "*") {...}
so that I would only pass 'John' for the firstName I'd get the first and the third node in return.
