Code 2 assume that main = main + sub even if it doesn't exist outside the if statement, that's obvious since sub is an empty string.

Is there a static property in Action similar to that in the String object in .net to check if a string is empty, that is String.Empty.

My aim is to construct a search tool, but I need it to ignore "The" from company names, and from the search, just in case the user searched the company name with The and its not on the xml, and vice versa... you know how it is...Anyway, i basically need something like "ignoreLeft(4)"... 4 being T H E and a space... but ignoreLeft() doesn't exist...
ActionScript Code:
//If the user searches with "the"
if (Search.text.Left(4).toLowerCase() == "the"){[code]...........
The trouble is the XML file isnt ammedable so I have to make changes during the search, otherwise I could just remove "the" from the xml file...I know this is fictitious code, but this is how I would imagine it to sound?
i have a script that load pics (named as "1.jpg" "2.jpg" "3.jpg" ...) in a movieclip.to load pic i use a variable +[i]+.jpg and so with i++ i load others pics..but i need a way to restart "i" if there aren't no more pictures..
View 1 RepliesIm attempting to create a class which cleans all the mess it's done by itself. If i make some instances of this class in an external class, i want the base class remove itself, or in other words, if i linkage this class to any movieclip, i want to remove this movieclip not in the file I created it in, but rather would like it to automatically remove itself if i want it to. I don't know if it's even possible. A simple removeChild(this) isnt working.
View 3 RepliesI have made it this far with much help and all was working well until the xml changed. Sometimes the c_Result node does not exist and my c_points text box returns 'undefined'. I have tried if(c_points != undefined){ etc which works to a degree but I don't know how to make the text box blank if the node doesn't exist and load the c_Result node if it does.

if I put in the contentPath of a FLVPlayback component a file that doesn't exist, how can I catch an error event? (All files are loaded locally, without a FMS) I tried to dodge the problem using other events, but if the file doesn't exist, pretty much none of the events will work.
View 1 Replieschecking an XML file for a specific node.
Example:
<vid
flv="videoName"
thumb="thumbnail.jpg"
title="Video Title"
[code]....
The first vid node contains a path to a logo graphic, I then need to check in my ActionScript if there is a logo there or not, and to do something if there is(display the logo) I can trace out the logo path so I thought I could run a simple if/else to check if there is anything in that node and if so to do something:
private function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent = null):void
{
trace("
");
[code]....
Now I've tried everything, but it will always trace out "Does have a logo" no matter what I do. I tried:
if (tabData[tabID].video[e.target.id].@logo == "")
if (tabData[tabID].video[e.target.id].@logo == null)
However I get the same results?
want to check if an input text field is empty.I only managed to do it this way;

I'm doing a project using ActionScript 2 where I'm loading in text from an XML file to dynamic text boxes. I'm loading everything in on the first frame, but there are boxes that do not exist in the timeline until frame 5 or so. Is there anyway I can access those to set their text property from the first frame

I added a website preloader in a separate scene to the main frame of my website and scripted it to go to and Play the main scene or frame of the website when finished loading. I then put a command in the first frame of the main scene for the movie to stop (); at that point. The problem is that now the buttons on the main page don't respond to any behaviour commands to go to and stop at other frames in the main scene. I'm not sure if this is a conflict between the stop(); command in the main scene and the button behaviour command to go to and stop at another frame or an error with the way I'm identifying the scene and frame.

Is it possible to load a .swf into an empty mc that is dynamically created, behind a layer on my main flash file?
I want the loaded .swf to load behind the interface buttons on my main flash file? Is that possible or do I need to put the interface buttons on a separate .swf and load that .swf in?
I'm loading an external swf into an empty mc called "emptyMC" on my main timeline. That loaded swf loads another swf into an empty mc called "view2" when a button is pressed. Code:

}
The above code isn't working right. I'm not sure how to target each empty MC in sequence in order for this to work.
Here is my code:
<mx:ComboBox prompt="" editable="true" dataProvider="{tableSelector.list}"/>
When this code executes, flex just sets the selectedIndex to 0 and displays the first item in the dataProvider instead of leaving the text and prompt as the empty string "". How do I get around this? I need the text property to be "" unless the user selects another item in the combobox.

Then I do it a 2nd time and it doesn't work. why is it only working right one time? and why isn't the if statement I put in the local function affecting the for loop? The 2nd time it takes the button you're hovering over with it and fades it out. (even though the if statement registers according to trace)this is the code
