This is really simple, but I can't it after spending 20+ minutes searching on google! I just want a function that turns a number into a character; basically the inverse of mystring.charCodeAt(0). For example-

I want to create a board class from canvas, which will allow to track click position on it in coordinates like A2, where A...D is Y coordinate in some scale and 1...3 is X coordinate [URL]What I want to create is a kind of convertor from canvas localX and localY to my new coordinates like A2.I am thinking of implementing if condition this way if (0.4 - x*size(from 1-3 here)/canvas.width <= X <= 0.4 + x*size(from 1-3 here)/canvas.width)
X = x;
This way I can assigned needed coordinates in X range. e.g. 1, 2 ,3 etc But what to do with alphanumeric range. (if for example I want to make it extensible)...
I need for my little project know a way to do following things:
- Getting any character from string (preferably operating on strings like on 1 dimensional arrays)
- Get ASCII code for character
- Convert number which contains ASCII code to character
does anybody wrote a class for convert the special characters in ASCII/ISO Latin-1 Character Code, passing a string? i need to return for example:

use unicode character 187 (hex:BB) or ascii character 174 as a seperation character in my mysql database.This was working great in one of my swf files but not flash keeps reading an extra character. [code]The trace output from this looks like this: 1«1.If I change the php so that it's sending a 1B1 (no special characters) it works ok.I tried using the ASCII version and the Unicode version alt-174 and alt-0187 and both return this extra %2c character.I have tried urlencode from php, but even sending a 1%BB1 provides the same results.I can't fathom why it would all of a sudden start adding extra characters. So should I change my seperation character. If so, what's recommend? If not, should I check every variables from php for this extra character and remove it?
View 7 RepliesIn AS2 you had the functions ord() and chr() which specifically converted ASCII codes to their string equivalents.
However in AS3, String.charCodeAt() and String.fromCharCode() work with Unicode values.
Is there any way to convert a string character to its ASCII equivalent and back?
I can't seem to find a function to convert a character to a decimal.
Example: Convert string 'A' into its decimal form '65'.
Background: I'm trying to take an input character value (anything from a to ZZ), substring its characters, and into uppercase (eg. G, Z), covert each character to decimal (eg. 71, 90) and then reduce those numbers, such that A=0, B=1, Z = 25 and finally add them. GZ = 6+25 = 31.
It's for an X,Y co-ord system that uses A-ZZ for X, and numbers for Y.
Is there a native method for converting character entity references into charCodes in ActionScript? For example, has a decimal or numeric entity reference of a. I assume that the charCode would be 8736 since I've found that charCodes of lower decimal values match.
View 1 RepliesI am taking feed files from an XML, so in order to make those not throw out errors when reading the XML, I convert all entities to their numerical equivalents and write them as "�" for example.This then gets imported into a database, so that it now has "�" in the database.
I then take the text in the database and use that to generate a new XML file, which still contains the "".Flash then reads this XML file and displays the text.Now I think every character is fine (haven't seen all of them, but seen many), including "" (), however, for some reason, the ï symbol refuses to work () and it just displays and not the symbol.
I have a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.

eg. All A-Z and a-z.
I am working on a Flex project that is interfacing with physical hardware.Using the AS3 command of socket.send I can set a particular feature on the physical hardware.The problem I am having is I need access to send from the Extended ASCII codes.[code]This would be translated to me sending two numbers to the hardware.7F and 07. The Dec equivalent of these Hex codes are 127 and 7.The hardware takes these two numbers and calculates a length along with a third integer.[code]
Unfortunately the Hex 88 is in the extended ASCII table.The highest the regular goes up to is 7f which is a Dex of 127.I need the ability to send full 0 to 255 numbers in ASCII form.I can't send from 128-255 without using the codes from the ASCII extended table.I get an error every time I try to send something form the extended ASCII table back from the hardware.Can anyone confirm that AS3 does not support the Extended ASCII codes?
I'm running some script using the charAt() function, that is supposed to return the character at specific indexes in a string, however for some reason it is returning ASCII values.

I would like to know if the string was inputted in any other language than English. Is finding special characters in the string the best way to detect non-english characters?
I'm trying to allow ascii codes to be entered into a textField, using num codes (ALT+Num), and am seeing some very strange behaviour. If I enter: Alt + 14, I get a charCode of 9835, and ♫ is displayed in my trace output, but a placeholder square is entered in the textField. If I enter: Alt + 0014, I get a charCode of 14, placeholder square is displayed in trace, and ♫ is displayed properly in the text field.

View 7 RepliesJust list them if you could or link. even if you just have letters
View 1 RepliesI know letters have a number code to them, or ascii code, how can I use this to trace a letter with a number, for example lets say the ascii code for the letter 'a' is 97, in AS3 is there a way todo something like:
trace(asciiToString(97));
to trace out 'a'.

View 1 RepliesIn Sweden we have these characters (and of course also in caps). But my MySQL db can't store characters, so if I look in the db and search for my name, Bostm, i can't find it..The search is ran from within flash (mx2004, and from there to a php-script, wich then sends the matching row back to flash.I want to convert all thein a string, and to be able to reconvert them when flash gets the string back... So the string should be stored in the db with the encoded...(am I confusing you now?)And I can't use the html-code for 'cause if the php-script prints this: Wow... quite an explanation...Ok, short summary:

>send to PHP-script

i was wondering if any of you out there could tell me how it is possible to make a movieclip of a character and when the character is dragged about the screen by the curser, how do you make the characters arms and legs swing about in a realistic fashion.

I would like my character to move as if he was drunk I am unsure how to do that I am using the keyboard for his movement. I also have a character that moves at random I would like the drunk moving character to be able to catch this character and play a scene from within the drunk characters movie clip but I want this character to try and escape the idea is the drunk character gets points for how long he is able to hang on to this character
View 2 RepliesHow on earth do you restrict "ENTER/CARRIAGE RETURN" key ASCII 13 on input textfields?
View 5 RepliesI have run into this before, and just ran into it again, and was completely confused how a bytearray converted to a string was only 4 characters long. The problem is, if you EVER try to append a NULL character (not the ActionScript null, but the string value of the char 0), it cuts off the end of the string when printing out in trace or displaying onstage. HOWEVER, if you trace out the length of the string, you get the full length, so the problem arises trying to print the contents onto trace or the stage.

View 1 Repliesthere is an escape sequence which will code a specific ASCII character. In the format of "xnn" where nn is a hexadecimal ... like "x41" gives "A" My problem is, I have a function which returns a hexadecimal...but the escape sequence won't work that way. decToHex(65) returns "41" But "x" + decToHex(65) does not return "A" as intended...but "x41" I was wondering why my logic behind this is flawed?
