I need to find all url's inside string ex. "abc [URL]. I have tried few regeps but they worked only if all string was url, otherwise regexp has no matches. I would be gratefull fo a clue or working regexp.
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.
Im 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)
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]...
I need to strip a string from another and get the remnants. The string I need to strip is a Twitter username, so it can be variable length, but always starts with an '@' and can only contain alphanumeric characters or underscores.
For example, the original string might be "@username: tweeting about stuff" and I need to get out of that ": tweeting about stuff".
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 have a string that contains a full name input, and I would like to spilt them into 2 parts and save them inside an array, first name and last name. How do I do it with string.split? My current code is myNameArray = str_adminInput.split(" "); This code only works if the names are : Jack Lee, June Poh. This code does not work if the names are: Lee Tok Kong, Tan Beng Seng.
I have a TextArea, a TextInput and a button. When text is entered into the TextInput the TextArea is searched for the matching string, however it only highlights the first found instance of the string. How can I do a 'find next' type of operation.
protected function searchBtn_clickHandler():void { text = mainTextField.text;
Checked google, but only found some outdated,homemade functions. Is there no other way to Find char in a string and replace it? the shortest function i found was about 30 Lines long.
I 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).
I 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.
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.

Now one of the functionality that's added to the player is the "Transcript Button", which shows subtitles in a small window.Well, what I've done is added text on keyFrames of the main timeline,so if the audio says "Hello good evening, welcome,....", I've made a new layer above the audio layer and during that particular part of audio I've added the text on the new layer in a keyFrame.I've done this for the entire timeline.I've used enterFrame and accessed this String value and displayed it in the small window.Everything seems to work well.But if a certain movieClip popup is added on the timeLine, which has its own audio.o necessarily I'll have to add the text to this movieClip as well, but I cant access the text, i.e, display it in the small window.Also I've tried using a global variable like this,...
I'm having an issue with RegExp. I have a string variable equal to "1 + 2 + 3 + 4". I'm trying to use RegExp to replace that string inside another string, however the plus signs are causing it to not be recognized. If I take the plus signs out, it works. If I replace the plus signs with minus signs, it works. I know + means something in an expression, is there a way I can get flash to ignore it and keep the + sign in there?
I have an object with an Array of objects inside. Each object has a name property. To scope it directly I would use:
ActionScript Code: obj._arrayOfObjects[0]._object name; // trace returns the first object's name in the array if you understand this so far then here is an easy question for you.
I am working on a simple video game where, when a randomized character is struck, an "explode" function kicks in creating an "explosion" unique to that randomized character. The difficulty is that when this._name is passed through the function, the movie clips have numbers assigned/attached to them. Here is the basic code that is found inside a class (foe.as)[code]...
