I have a function that finds the position of a specific string.[code]...
But indexOf searches the string and returns the position of the first occurrence.I know there's a startIndex parameter but I dont know how to use it so that I could go through an entire string.
Like for example: " Hello there little boy. What's your name boy?"
How can I get the position of first boy word and then the position of second boy word ?
I'm trying to work out a logic for a game (in Flash). In one part, given the following row:
_ _ * _ _ __ *
I need to find if all the spaces between the *'s are empty (Non-empty values other than * can occur in the row). This operation is done quite frequently. I was wondering if I could use bit representations of rows to achieve this, instead of looping through and checking the intermediate positions.
For a row _ _ * _ _ _ * represented as xx1xxx1 (x = 1 or 0), I could AND it with 0001110 so that if the answer is 0000000, the intermediate positions are empty.
The question here is, of course, how to find this second map (0001110 above) using bit operations (in Flash AS2)? (Map (1,4) -> 0110, (1,3) -> 0100 etc) Or is looping through the intermediate positions just the better choice?
I've made some code that loads a line from a text file as a string and puts it into a dynamic field. What I want to do is randomize the letters of the string, but I can't seem to find any functions that do so. Anyone have an idea as to how you do this?
Code:
var url:String = "test.txt";
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

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
I have thumbs placed on the stage. I create an empty mc to load swf. But my thumbs disappear from the stage when I test the movie ( html or swf) if I settle the _ and _y position of the empty mc.why the emptymovieclip positions affect the positions of my thumbnails?
View 2 RepliesIm looking to be able to find a number (any number) within a text string, what i ultimately want to do is crop the number out of the string to just be left with a number value, the only problem is the string could be any length and the number doesnt necessarily start at any point from the last characterI have items on the stage named 'image0', 'textfield2', 'button500' etc, as you can see the prefix before the number isnt a fixed length so I couldnt use substr and set an index, and since the number could be any number i couldnt set the index as a certain value before the end of the string. (ie it might return '500' or 'ld2' or 'ge0' in the examples given before)
View 4 RepliesIs there an XMLList equivalent to Array.indexOf?
For example -
var array:Array = ['one','two'];
trace(array.indexOf('two')); // returns 1, since it's at the second position
trace(array.indexOf('three')); // returns -1, since it isn't found
[Code]...
there's got to be an easier way to check to see if one of the nodes in the XMLList has a particular value than looping through all of them, right? something akin to -
xmlList.indexOfChildByNodeValue('two'); // returns 1, because it's the second child
xmlList.indexOfChildByNodeValue('three'); // returns -1, because it doesn't match any children
I want to prevent users from using webcam emulators, I have done that in AS2 by using senocular's function, but I can't make it work in AS3,so, here is the old version by senocular , and I would like to do the same in AS3, tried using indexOf but doesn't work, I need to find at least the first 4 characters of the string and compare them to the item inside the array in AS3![code]...

View 4 RepliesI want to take a string that contains numbers and search for a specific number within that string.
For example, my string is "0 1 3." I want to check to see if the number 3 appears within this string.
In a dynamic text field, I need to be able to search for the string and all of the characters after that up until it reaches a <space> then return that whole string into a variable I can use.

View 5 RepliesI am making a drag and drop type of quiz. The text is loaded from an XML file. I am looking for a way to "detect" a blank in the text which represents the point in the sentence where a word needs to be filled in. And then that point needs to be represented by a movieclip or sprite or something that will hold text from the word that is dropped onto it (it will need to be draggable in case the user changes thier mind).
View 1 RepliesI am learning action script 2.o. and i want to create a programme to "find the multiple alphabets in a input string". but i haven't any idea. Please give me an logic for it.
View 1 RepliesLets say I have a string like so...
../images/work/environment/images/biz1.jpg
as you can see the set of characters of "images" in that string twice.
I need to replace the second "images" with something else. Had there only been one "images", I would have done something like this...
Code:
var url:String = "../images/work/environment/images/biz1.jpg";
// Pattern we are looking for in string
var imagesPattern:RegExp = images;
// Replace
AddThumb( url.replace(imagesPattern, "thumbs"));
Because there are two "images" this will not work.
I simply want to insert a space before any capital letters in a string:So if I have "BruceWillis" I want to convert it to "Bruce Willis" . I am inserting the space before any caps, except the first capital letter.

View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip in the library that I am exporting for actionscript. I duplicate the movieclip by adding a child for each occurance of a tag in actionscript. This works fine, but I can't figure out how to change the y postion of each new child to be 30 pixels below form the last child. Here is a snippet of the code where I am having the problem:
for (var i in xmlData.region){ for (var k in xmlData.region[i].regionInfo.payment);
var mcRI:regionInfo = new regionInfo(); this.addChild(mcRI); mcRI.txtPayment.htmlText = xmlData.region[i].regionInfo.payment[k].card; mcRI.y += 30; }
}
Instead of each new child's y position changing +30, every duplicate is on top of each other at +30.
What I'm really looking to be able to do, is have a clip in the root move to the same x and y as a clip that is embedded into another movieclip. How would I pick up the X and Y co-ordinates of this embedded movie clip?
To summarise,
ClipA is embedded into ClipB, what I want, is for ClipC - that is based in the root - to match ClipA's position.
I have 52 (pack of cards) movieclips on stage all turned invisible When selected they turn visible. and need to display in one of five set positions (e.g. x and Y co-ordinates). If the first slot if full the card should be displayed in slot two. IF slot two is full the next dard displays in slolt three. I card two is then removed and a space left the next card chosen should go in there.
View 3 Repliesok I am having what I think is a targeting problem.I'm loading a swf into a blank container inside another movie (main). The AS in the loaded swf refers to positions of MC's in itself _x & _y etc.However once it is loaded, those positions are not true... ex. if the center of the swf is 200 by itself depending in where it is loaded, it might become 400 or any other number - reletive to the main movie's stage (I hope Im being clear).I need the AS in the loaded swf to refer to itself (x/y values relative to its OWN stage). So how do I target that? _root.MC.containerMC doesnt seem to work, but is this on the right track? Basically when an swf is loaded into another, does its _root now become the main timeline of the movie its loaded into???
