Is there a way to take all the letters out of a string and then use it as a integer?If that is not possible, is there a way to take the first three letters off a string variable? i.e. make myVariable='pic1' into myVariable = '1' Yes? no?
View 4 RepliesI've just seen a statement like this.
Code:
if (_root.map._width>"3000") {
_root.map.larger = 0;
}
Why 3000 put in quotes. Does it consider as a string on this expression?
I'm having some trouble converting a string to an integer. Here is my code:
var str:String = e.currentTarget.name as String; // Getting values like "song1", "song2"
str = str.replace("song", ""); // Changes it from "song1" or "song2" to "1" or "2"
var num:int = str as int; // SHOULD be converting the "1" to 1 and "2" to 2
trace("num:" + num + ", str:" + str);
The trace is always outputting:
num:0, str:1
num:0, str:2
etc..
The str value is there, but when it gets put into num then it zeros out.

Just asking if there's an existing function that I'm not a aware of.
I need to add values in a string (they're strings because I get a date as timestamp from a database and then pluck it apart in Flash with substring). Flash doesn't do math with strings. So is there a way to cast the string into an integer value?

View 8 RepliesI've got different functions in actionscript 3, one function generates random numbers each time there's a button click. But with another button I want to call the random number which is generated at that moment. I have to call the random number from another function then, but these are two different functions so it just considers it as an undefined property.
[Code]...
But I can't call randomnummer1 because it's inside another function. So I get the property undefined error.
I'm currently trying to convert a string that I get from a text box to an integer. Seems simple enough, but the string's got a pile of formatting on it.
This is the string (named answer):
Code:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Snap ITC" SIZE="20" COLOR="#FF0000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">80</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
As you can see, I want the 80 from that.
After a lot of tinkering around, I used the following to get the number out:
Code:
trace(parseInt(_root.answer.substring(120)));
Reason I used this is because I knew that the formatting would stay the same so I can slice off the same amount each time.
What I'm wondering is, is there a more elegant method of getting the entry that I want out of that mess of formatting? If not, then is there a way I can minimize the formatting?
Note: I'm using Adobe Flash CS4, with ActionScript 2.0.
I've got a .txt file hosted on a freewebs, which my actionscript gets some variables for (for easy updating of statistics).
I want to do be able to do math in actionscript with these numbers I'm calling up from the .txt file, but the problem is that when I call up the variables, they are recognized as a string, instead of integers.
How would I convert the string to an integer in actionscript, or write the number in the .txt so that it's recognized as an integer.

Good technigue for finding out if a string has any letters?I'm not looking for a specific letter, I just want to search a string and find out if it has any letters.
View 2 RepliesFor a rather complex search function I need to get the first letter of each word entered into an input field. At first glance this may not seem like a big problem if every word is neatly seperated by a space.
Although people can enter whatever they want into the field I only want to work with the words that start with a-z or A-Z.
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how I can determine if a character in the string falls into this selection. One of the possibilities is to use charCodeAt(), but that's rather rough. I can walk through the string using indexOf() but I may have trouble finding the next word if characters other than a space come into play.

View 1 RepliesAlgorithm to generate all possible letter combinations of given string down to 2 letters
Trying to create an Anagram solver in AS3, such as this one found here:
[URL]
I'm having a problem wrapping my brain around generating all possible letter combinations for the various lengths of strings. If I was only generating permutations for a fixed length, it wouldn't be such a problem for me... but I'm looking to reduce the length of the string and obtain all the possible permutations from the original set of letters for a string with a max length smaller than the original string. For example, say I want a string length of 2, yet I have a 3 letter string of "abc", the output would be: ab ac ba bc ca cb.
Ideally the algorithm would produce a complete list of possible combinations starting with the original string length, down to the smallest string length of 2. I have a feeling there is probably a small recursive algorithm to do this, but can't wrap my brain around it. I'm working in AS3.

when I try to type cast something, there r 2 ways to do it:if var integer holds a integer (Uint)

This is just a simple problem, i have two integers (for example)

And in the output menu i get 335.7 as the traced number and i need to get an integer which would be 335.
