ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash String.Replace Won't Replace "%20" From An Original String
Jun 22, 2011
I've got a strange situation where I'm replacing the text in a string that I've taken from an XML, but the .replace function for the string keeps failing. I've tried running the example given on the Adobe site, so I know the value I'm trying to replace ("%20") isn't at fault - it's something about the string I have! I've included the code below, but it seems correct. Is there a particular tip I should know when taking XML values into AS3? I'm putting them in strings for this project.
I'm having some real trouble getting .replace to actually replace something. Here's my code...
[Code]...
I can trace both newFiles[i] and keywords[i][whatever], but the replace doesn't replace anything. The regex is valid as well. I'm using regexr to test it, and it works perfectly there... but will not for me and I don't know why.
Trying to replace a portion of a string with a "-" if it matches a string variable in AS3.
var re:RegExp = new RegExp(imageArray[j][1],"gi"); trace(imageArray[jTemp][2].replace(re,"-"));
imageArray[jTemp][2] is a string imageArray[j][1] is a string as well I'm not getting the result I expect. I would like trace above to return 'permanentContainer-' Here are the traces for the above variables
I'm trying to work with RegEx to split a large string into smaller sections, and as part of this I'm trying to replace all instances of a substring in this larger string. I've been trying to use the replace function but this only replaces the first instance of the substring. How can I replace al instances of the substring within the larger string?
The basic idea is that I have a string that contains a user's comment, which could potentially contain URLs, so I wanted to take a string like:"Gee, the folks in the Url...And using pattern replace, replace the URL with an HTML hyperlink, so the string would end up being:[code]So my question is how can I alter the pattern replace code so that it accommodates a string containing random text, as well as a URL.
txt.html=true; txt.htmlText="This is an example: www.sample.com is not www.othersample.com";[code]....
First question is why my flash function always replace only first url? What I'm trying to do is send string from flash input textfield by PHP to mySQL table. Then, when flash will load it again all urls in my flash textfield will be clickable.Of course I can use preg_replace in PHP:
I can also use some PHP function which will check whether sended data from flash already contains clickable url's, but if I need add another link in edited string, preg_replace not fire then...
What i'm trying to do is to first of all remove all special characters from a hard coded tweet. What I want to do after is to convert each letter into a specific tone, using MML (Music Macro Language).When i play the tweet via the sound library sion after my attempted replacing i only get five tones through. What am I doing wrong? I'm guessing it's simple, but I don't know anything.I'm coding Actionscript 3 in FDT, which is all very new to me, as is regexp.
public function translateTweet() { var myPattern:RegExp = /[~%&\;:"',<>?#]+/g; var tweet : String = "@cupofjoakim AN EXAMPLE string! :D #hi11expo";[code].......
ActionScript Code: var dataString:String = "Hello, this is me, I am a cow."; var lastoccurence:int = dataString.lastIndexOf(","); trace (lastoccurence); //Returns 17. How to I replace character (17,1), meaning the "," with "" ?
I'm trying to basically search a text string and then replace it with a movie that I have in my library so I plan on using attachMovie and then do some tweening to it later. The part I'm struggling with now however is the actual adding the movie after it finds the string. Here is what I have:
Code: var check_text; check_text = "This is some text and it is nice in <bullet>Spain!";[code]...
The output is: "This is some text and it is nice in _level0.arrow_movSpain!". Anyway to replace text like that with an actual movie and have it output the movie?
I have an "input text" a "dynamic text" and a button.when I insert a string in input text box and click on button, my actionscript should search in string and if there is a character like "%20" should replace with character "K" and then the result shows in dynamic text.How should I use the action script for this target?
This replaces the 2 but of course also replaces all the other instances of 2 in the htmlText as well. Is there any possible workaround? Can I exploit the fact that the other 2's are inside quotations and someone not mess with those ones based on that fact?
search and replace text nodes from following string:
MY ORIGINAL STRING: var strTemp = '<p><text textId="textVariable1">This is my first text node.</text></p><question type="first">This is a first question.</question><p><text
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.
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'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 converted Actionscript to Javascript. There are 5 functions with the same code.Everything must become a string in order to replace the code from the function1().
In Actioncript, we can use this[my_string] to convert string back to byteArray or something like that Javascript must surely have a method to convert string back to code right.
I am trying to remove / replace white space from a string in as3. The string comes from xml and than written into text field. To compare the strings I am trying to remove white spaces
var xmlSentence:String=myXML.SENTENCE[thisSentence]; var tfSentence=e.target.text; var rex:RegExp = /s+/; trace(xmlSentence.replace(rex, "-")); trace(tfSentence.replace(rex, "-"));
That code outputs like this: She-has a dog -She has a dog
I also tried different rex patterns. The problem is that though there are spaces in both string -which are same- it finds only one space but not the same one in both strings.
I would like to be able to replace a section of a string with a dash. The section being replaced will be variable.
var str:String = "permanentContainer-temporaryContainer-" var test:String = "temp"; var pattern:RegExp = /-[(+test+)]+-/i; trace( str.replace(pattern,"-"));
