ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Check Pattern On Every Word Of A String?
Mar 4, 2012
I've read some documentation about regular expressions in AS3. I was wondering if it is possible to check every word of a string for a pattern. If all the words satisfy the pattern, the test is passed, otherwise is failed. Here is an example of what I mean:
Code:
var reg:RegExp = /[a-z]/i;
var str1:String = "a b";
var str2:String = "a 1";
[code]....

i'm trying to search a string for a particular pattern, and replace it with elements from within the pattern... for example..here's the given string...if you want to learn how to use regexp, {url===http://somesite.com, text===click here}.
the pattern...
{url===http://somesite.com, text===replacement text}
and the intended result...
if you want to learn how to use regexp, click here.
of course, i'll extract the url and do something else with it... i'm just wondering what the regexp is for that pattern, and how i can extract things from the results returned.

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

Is there some way in flex to parse strings to date. I want it to support custom formats similar to 'dateformatter'. Using 'dateformatter' class we can parse date object in various string formats as specified by 'formatString property'. I want it other way round, from string to date. The parse method 'Date.parse(my_string)' does string parsing but for a very limited set of formats. Can't we have something similar to following, where user can specify his/her own formats.
someformatter.formatString = 'HH::MM::SS' ;
mydate = someformatter.formatTodate('23::56:34');
Will 'parseDateString' method of dateformatter be useul here?

I need to write a regex which will match URLs that do not have a specific query string name/value pair anywhere in its URL. All other query string names, and all other query string values with the same name should be matched. Other pages in the same directory (or sub-directories) should not be matched.URL...The query string name and value that I need to exclude from matches is:[code]How can I prevent matches when the string exists anywhere in the pattern?

I have to parse out color information from HTML data. The colors can either be RGB colors or file names to a swatch image. I used [URL] to develop and test the patterns. I copied the AS regular expression code verbatim from the tool into Flex Builder. But, when I exec the pattern against the string I get a null. Here are the patterns and an example of the string (I took the correct HTML tags out so the strings would show correctly):

In _root exists function "path=load_Path()" which is triggered when an button is pressed. The result of this function can be "photos/folder1/image.jpg" or "folder1/textpage/" or any other path. What I'm trying to find out is how to get value of "path" automatically when it's changed or get callback whenever function "load_Path()" is triggered.
I don't have possibility to access this function because it's in _root SWF which I can't edit.reply.

I'd like to build a cipher in AS2, and I was wondering if there's any way for me to search a string for a specific letter/word?
Example:

I have an XML which contains a field of the type:
<mytext><![CDATA[ My name is <color value="FF0000">Bill</color>. ]]></mytext>
I wonder if there is a simple methodology (using E4X methods) in order to print the inner text: "My name is Bill." in a text area and having the word "Bill" colored i.e. red.
The generalized situation is, if i can print the inner text and use XML tags to specify formatting attributes of the text per word.
Do E4X supports this type of parsing, or do I have to program my own "little" parser for this situation?

I'm using flash CS4 and actionscript 2.0. I have a situation where I need to locate and check the date of an external file (either .exe or .swf) and return that date string to a variable in flash. I then need to display that date to a piece of dynamic text within the flash file. Is there a function within action script that will check and retrieve the file date of an external file.

I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;

I have a regular expression in my code. What I want it to do is to check user input. This input should be a string of 9 numbers with spaces between them. So for example "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" should return true, but also "123 45 2765 23 3456 23 5 456 1" should be true. [code]My problem is that if the strong with number is longer, the usual test method still returns a true. Is there a way to check if the string is longer then this?
