ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Character Limit In String?
Aug 14, 2010
Does anyone know what the character limit for a string in AS3 is? I'm generating a rather large XML string in a flash app which I'm sending to a php script to parse and save to a DB. I was stepping through the code and it looks like after a certain period that my XML string is going to blank. I'm assuming that this is because it's going over a limit. I don't really want to change my design but I suppose I'm going to have to if this won't work.

Is there a character or word limit for the dynamic text box in Flash CS5? I am using Classic Text and am copying a large amount of text (about 4,700 words or 31,740 characers with spaces) into the text field, but the text is cut off at a certain point (at about 2,600 words or 17,795 characters). I'm using a UIScrollbar on the text box.The full text can be copied into Flash CS3 but not CS5 so what is going on? Did Adobe create a word limit in the new version? is there some other way around this, other than splitting up the text into 2 text fields? I should note that I cannot use TLF text for compatibility issues in case that is a possible solution.

I've been trying to wrap my head around this for some time now, but haven't been able to come up with an elegant solution. The problem: I have a string with different characters ("ABDDEEDDC") and I need to know which character occurs the most.

I've had a Flash website up and running for about a year which includes an external text file linked to a dynamic text field.
Everything worked well until I recently added content to the external text file.
Suddenly, the file won't load in flash.
If I play around and cut a line here or there, it sometimes loads. Sometimes not. Sometimes it looks like there might be a character limit. Sometimes it looks like flash might be having a problem with certain characters.
So my questions are:
1.) Does Flash have a limit on the amount of characters that can be displayed in a dynamic field.
2.) If so, can this be changed with as3?

I need a string splitted into groups of characters in ActionScript like this:
var txt:String = "Hello World";
var arr:Array = txt.split(3);
// Now arr should contain a value like: ["Hel", "lo ", "Wor", "ld"]

I have encountered strange problem. I have created simple Flash text field control and I wanted to compare its content with some other string. This comparison in triggered when user is pressing the button.In Action Script 2.0 code I noticed that a caret return character () was added at the end of the string coming from the input text field.It is easy to overcome the problem obviously, however I would like to understand what is going on. I use Flash CS4 with AS 2.0.

Is there a size limit on strings passed to a new XML variable during construction?I have noticed what I think is a hard limit on the size of strings passed as an argument to the constructor of a new XML variable in actionScript3. I noticed it while trying to pass a large string from javascript to a method in AS3.
Everything works fine as long as the string is less than about 330,000 characters, but as soon as the string I pass gets a little bigger than that (say 360,0000 or more) I always get a js error somewhere in the ExternalInterface and a ActionScript error when the data is recieved. I am running on IE.Here is what I am doing:In javascript I have:
flashPlayer.generateFromXml(text);
Where text is some large string of serialized valid xml.Then in AS3, I have
ExternalInterface.addCallback("generateFromXml", generateFromXml); (called in initialize handler)
then
public function generateFromXml(serializedXml:String):void
{
var x:XML = new XML(serializedXml);
}
Everything works fine until the string exceeds about 340,000 characters, then I get this js error at this line in adobe code:
function __flash__addCallback(instance, name) {
instance[name] = function () {
return eval(instance.CallFunction("<invoke name=""+name+"" returntype="javascript">" + __flash__argumentsToXML(arguments,0) + "</invoke>")); //<<<<<--- line with breakpoint in js debugger

I have a scroller window in my Flash file which uses a Dynamic string variable fed by a text.html file containing my variable &about_readmore_txt2 After running some tests with the text.html file, I noticed that after a certain number of line breaks (either entered by a "RETURN" or a <br />) the final text rendered when the Flash is played becomes erratic. It only displays a portion of the text in the middle of the scrolling window.The tests have been run using both options : Rendered as html and not. My tests also shows that this behavior is line breaks related (I shrank the content of the variable down to a point where everything comes back to normal and then, if I add another line break, it starts behaving erraticly again

to restrict the maximum number of characters on a TextField by applying the maxChars to 30. This call exists before applying the html text to the TextField. For some reason nothing happens.textfield.maxChars = 30;var str:String = "<p><h3>Quisque id velit risus, vitae dictum sapien.</h3><p>Fusce aliquam nunc id risus lobortis in malesuada mi pellentesque. Suspendisse potenti.</p><br/><justify>Nulla facilisi. Maecenas bibendum tortor ac felis tristique eget suscipit enim dapibus. Curabitur ut eleifend purus. Sed elementum facilisis dui in dapibus.</justify></p>";textfield.htmlText = str;

What I am after, is taking a string, then taking each character in that string and making it a variable, then displaying each character by itself. My problem is figuring that out. I thought I would try using a for loop and creating each character variable like that, but it doesn't work. I doesn't display anything. Here is my code so far, it seems like the closest thing I've gotten to:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=myString.length; i++) var letNum:String = myString.charAt(i); var let:String = letNum;
}

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".

Is there an actionscript function I can use to pad a string to a certain length with a certain character?
Example: I have a number lets say 274 and I want to make sure that number is at least 6 characters long...with any open space receiving the character 'W'. So I'd call the pad function and my final number would look like this: WWW274

I would like to know if there is a way to detect from star variable second a and b in the following code? I want to compose code to omit first a and b and detect only second a and b. At the moment it detects both - first and second. And once the second a and b is detected I want it to be replaced by g and h so the star variable will have following string: "a b c d e f g h". Here is the code:
Code:
// there are 2 "a" and "b" letters in the string
var star:String = "a b c d e f a b";[code]............

I would like to delete the movieClip that created this variable "tall" in this code I attach if it were to be a certain suit, but I keep getting undefined error messages...I think it's because it is'nt a string variable, but I am not sure since it has been retreived from the server like in the line below:
maTall.push(String(variables.tall1)); I thought that String there specifies making it a string...

I am attempting to write a utility class that, when fed a camel-case class name, will return it as a String with spaces inserted before uppercase characters. Basically, if I pass SomeClassName into it, it will return "Some Class Name".At the moment, the way I envisage it working is to loop through the String, comparing each char with an array of uppercase characters and, if it finds an uppercase character, I'd like it to insert a space before it.Have experimented with a variety of String methods but can't seem to get anything to work

Recently made the transition from flash/as2 to flex/as3 have to say I'm loving it! Thought i'd experiment a bit and test the water making a simple live chat application already run into my first snag.
Code:
private function keyPressed(e:KeyboardEvent):void
{
switch(e.keyCode)
{

This is the main offender. I'm just wondering how I would find the last character and ignore everything else after that? Kind of similar to the php explode.

I have a string of 0:'000000' named stringtest I need to replace the 0 at the position x with 1. My code in flixel(a free library to create games)
Code: Select allif (FlxG.keys.justPressed("X"))
{
stringtest=stringtest.replace(stringtest.substring(1,2), '1');
}
it doesn;t replace the second 0 with 1., but it replaces the first one. However if the initial sting is 'let's go' if I press x the letter e is replaced with 1. if the string is 'eet's go' if i press x the first e is replaced with 1 and if i press x again the second letter e is replaced.
