In Actionscript and Adobe Flex, I'm using a pattern and regexp (with the global flag) with the string.match method and it works how I'd like except when the match returns multiple occurrences of the same word in the text. In that case, all the matches for that word point only to the index for the first occurrence of that word. For example, if the text is "cat dog cat cat cow" and the pattern is a search for cat*, the match method returns an array of three occurrences of "cat", however, they all point to only the index of the first occurrence of cat when i use indexOf on a loop through the array. I'm assuming this is just how the string.match method is. I want to find the specific indices of every occurrence of a match, even if it is of a word that was already previously matched.
how the string.match method is and if so

View 1 RepliesI have a string called userEmail in my Flex 4 app that has a value of:
my%40email.com
I need to have an @ symbol instead of %40, so I run this line:
userEmail.replace("%40","@");
But the string has the same value after.
I am trying to write a class that will take a string (provided by a different class) and display it gradually, character by character, as if it were being written by a typewriter. To do this I am making use of the setInterval method in flash.utils, but I'm having difficulties... whenever I test the movie there is no text displayed, but flash isn't reporting any errors.
Here is the code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.utils.*;
public class TypeWriter extends MovieClip {
[Code] .....
I'm trying to use regular expressions with the String.replace() method to manipulate a string to replace all instances of a forward slash "/" with a period "."
So for instance, if I start with this String:
"things/stuff/cheese/yum"
I want to convert it to:
"things.stuff.cheese.yum"
Easy enough if I want to replace a letter... let's say I wanted to replace all instances of the letter "e", I would do this:
Code:
var str:String = "things/stuff/cheese/yum";
var myPattern:RegExp = /e/g;
trace(str.replace(myPattern, "."));
// returns: "things/stuff/ch..s./yum"
... but how do I replace all instances of "/"??
I'm getting the following error message when I try to run the AS code below:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method string.
The error occurs at every instance of:
min = string(min % 60);
I think CS3 doesn't like this "string" format and that it probably different from that of CS2 in which the code was derived from.
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var todayate = new Date();
var currentYear = today.fullYear();
[Code]....
I just want to ask if is it possible to call a movieclip using the String Class together with it's instance name to use gotoAndPlay() method. I know how to use the instance name and the method but then what if I want to use a string together with the instance name and the gotoAndPlay.

so i need to assign to the f a function that takes an argument f(s), something like
myFoo.f = thefunction
function(s:String)
how to do all this, so it will work correctly?
I haven't made a swf file in a very long time. So what is the standard swf file size these days? Surely it can be a little larger now?
View 4 RepliesSimple question: I have numerous transitional xhtml pages marked up and ready to go. The code is basic but uses a few tags that are not recognized in Flash via HTML import- <h1>,<div> etc. Is there a best practice method for using this code without having to "dummy" down the code for use in Flash? Is there any advantage to importing the xhtml pages as XML and going that route or will I have the same problem?
View 1 Repliesi have rectangle movie and i want to make it triangle or round so it show round in the page. can i do so with i embed it or it must be done in flash before i export swf?Also i forgot how you make transparent area in flash?
View 1 RepliesI'm sure this question is too complicated for an immediate answer so I'm looking for suggestions on where to find reference material or general guidance.I'm trying to combine the setInterval function and Math.Random within a specified range (say 1 - 5 seconds) so I can time the length of movie clips in a binomial distribution (68% of the occurrences fall within one standard deviation).

View 1 RepliesI was thinking of developing a free online calculator in flash. It would be a standard calculator with basic functions like "+", "-", "*" etc. and an advanced calculator with more functions which would be similar to the scientific pocket calculator.
And I have a dilemma regarding the standard calculator. It's about the way it does the calculations. How would you expect a basic calculator (not an advanced one) to calculate this expression: 1+2*3 equals 7 or 9? On paper the result is clearly 7 but basic pocket calculator calculates the expression in line, unaware of the higher priority operators and give you 9 as a result to the expression above.
In the advanced version of the online flash calculator this expression would equal 7 but I have doubts about what people expect from a basic calculator.
if I write for example import fl.controls.*; flash (CS4 on iMac) says that it cannot find the definition..

We've got an issue (minor, but annoying) that I've got no clue where to begin to tackle.Our video player is run off a backend database, and 2 characters in particular are giving us problems:which are saved into the database with their ISO Latin-1 codes to avoid compatibility issues (ha, imagine that!).Now, all is fine and dandy except that our player uses this particular piece of data as a header in the template, styled to all caps using toUpperCase, which breaks the whole thing because it seems toUpperCase cannot properly map these letters to a corresponding uppercase value. To get around this we've tried using the HTML code for the uppercase equivalent of the same letter but the problem with this is that this same exact piece of data is also used on our website, but in it's raw camel-case format. We can't force it one way or the other, because then it breaks the other.
Is there a way we can use these sort of characters in both instances (in Flash with toUpperCase, and in the HTML page as camel-case)? Is this a Flash issue? A character code issue? A database issue? Where do I begin to address this?
Can someone tell me the simplest way to add a rollover sound to a standard button in flash ? I was trying to get a small chirp sound to play on rollover of a button. Im using the standard flash button creation hierarchy. Once the fourstages of the button are set. I created a layer above it called sounds then added a blankkeyframe to the over position and dragged the chirp mp3 file onto the stage over the button. Then when i run the webpage the sound effect doesnt play a expected. I tried playing with the dropdownlist of property settings too such as Sound : and theres a dropdown list. I chose chirp.mp3 there but still no luck. Tried some other sync settings too but not able to make this work.

View 3 RepliesI was following this tutorial. He uses the following line for Tweening:
Tweener.addTween(currentContainer, {alpha:1, time:FADE_TIME,
onComplete:function() { slideTimer.start(); }});
Instead of using this special designed class for Tweening, how do I use the standard/regular Tweening within Flash so I don't have to always include the .as file with my project? One other thing is, he uses something like this: intSlideCount = xmlSlideshow..image.length();
What are the two dots between the xmlSlideShow and image.length(); means?
I would like to be able to create a set of standard text animations for different length bulleted lists, headings etc and then feed these animations (probably with xml?) to create unique mc's.

View 2 RepliesI am learning ActionScript 3.0. Coming from Java world I can easily relate to strict compilation mode. I think having type safety checks at compilation time makes perfect sense. This makes me wonder, why the compiler allows a standard mode were all the type safety checks are deferred to run time? Is compatibility with older ActionScript specification the sole reason for having standard mode?
