I'm trying to serach for the following string "Type/Pages" in long external files and am using the follwoing code which works: indexOf("Type/Pages");
However, sometimes it appears in the file as "Type /Pages" - with the extra space
As the files can be VERY long, I don't want to search twice - is there anyway to search with or without the space?
I've tried all sorts of cominations with s* but to no avail
i am loading a jsp file, which had some space at the beginning. i want remove the space,then i need ot parse the data, just like ignoreWhiteSpace in xml.
View 5 RepliesHow can one remove whitespace from a string in as3?
I would like to be able to remove all carriage returns, spaces, tabs etc.
I have few ActionScript skills. But I have built a multimedia career by stealing chunks of AS2 code and reworking them to suit my purpose. I have searched long and hard here for a solution to my current problem. I have found code here that seems to address it, but I cannot make it work. I simply have some textAreas that I wish to validate. The user may input text that could include extra spaces, returns, and odd capitalization. It would be easiest for me to simply strip out the capitals, spaces and returns. I found some simple code that changed the caps to lowercase:[code]
View 5 RepliesI've managed to get myself stuck in a situation where a database full of images ( transparent images of various products ) needs to be placed on the stage, all of which need to be aligned the same by the products height. My problem is that the png's of products are 'floating' and I have no control of where about's in the png it will sit ( could be tight at the top and loads of room at the bottom, vice versa)
Does anyone know an existing way to find out the png's 'true' height ( width is an extra ). I've thought about looping through the bitmap data and checking but wondered if anyone has invented this wheel already?
Does anyone know of a way to crop out whitespace/transparent pixels in a BitmapData object? I've got this movieclip I'm rendering that has a huge amount of whitespace all around it. I'd like to crop all of that out before I convert it to a JPEG (with corelib). Is there a way to do this? I can't seem to find a way to figure out where the first opaque pixel starts on each axis to determine the extents.

I have a website I'm making. The contents of it is set via xml documents.Now because in the xml for the sake of keeping it clean I make sure when setting all text to any TextField I set it with condenseWhite set to true:[code]Now this condense white creates a few weird bugs when using htmlText... things like img tags acting really weird and the sort.But that isn't my concern right this second. What I want to do though is allow the user to choose the ability to preserve whitespace in some manner for instance here is the main xml document loaded and used to load all subsequent docs:[code]
I've tried stick in there and that fails. I've tried the <pre> tag from html, failed, which I assumed it would. %20 doesn't either.I also thought of sticking a "preserve" attribute on it and checking that before setting text (as you can see in the xml code)but in some scenarios in my application it creates very convoluted code just to update dynamic textFields (I have textfields that swap out a lot, like in the photogallery as can be seen here: URL...Or maybe knows a site that has a well documented explanation of the html abilities of the TextField.I've been reading around on the internet and playing in flash for a while now testing different things and still no result.
I have a variable that contains the text from an input box.
let's call it "name"
People may enter the persons first and last name into this box. If they do .. I want to be able to capture just the first name from that string. So somehow capture everything before the first whitespace.
I can't get it two work. If I replace mySide with a hard coded movieclip name it works, but not with the variable. Am I missing something or just barking up the wrong tree?
var dots:Array = [north_mc.dot1, north_mc.dot2, east_mc.dot1, east_mc.dot2, west_mc.dot1, west_mc.dot2, south_mc.dot1, south_mc.dot2,];
var mySide:String = event.currentTarget.parent.name + "." + event.currentTarget.name;

In ActionScript3 i wanted to get the text between 2 quotes from some HTML using a input index value where i would simply increase the 2nd quote characters value by 1. This would be very simple however i have now noticed using indexOf does not seem to work correctly with quotes and other special characters.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI have a list object and I'm adding items to it with addItem through the dataProvider.Before adding an item to the list I want to make sure it's not a duplicate. I've tried using indexOf on the dataProvider and it returns null. I've tried casting it to an array and it works, but always returns -1 even if the element exists in the dataProvider.The only method I've been able to use seems a little hacky and I'd like to know if there is a better way to find an element in a dataProvider.

When I try to load text from XML into a text field any leading line breaks or spaces are ignored. For example:
Code:
<text> some text</text>
The preceding loads into the text field without the leading spaces before "some text". How can I force the spaces to appear?
I'm using the indexOf method to search for a substring in a String variable in Actionscript 3. The indexOf method allows you to specify a second, optional parameter - the starting position for the search. However, I'm not sure whether the position returned by indexOf is relative to the very beginning of the string, or to this optional parameter.

Not sure if I phrased that correctly. I have about 6 pieces of illustrator outlined text.imported into flash, set as symbols with event listeners and works fine. but i notice I can only click on the outline itself, if i click on the inside of an "o" or "R" it doesnt work.I added white boxes behind each of the symbols and that fixed the problem, but now i want to do a color transform on the symbol (the text only of course), but when I apply the transform, its the background box and the text that have the new color applied, just leaving me a rectangle. I gave the box an alpha of 0, hoping if i didn't affect the alpha in the transform, the pointer would still read the box, but no go, it doesnt even see the box again.
View 4 RepliesI am embedding the sowpods dictionary into an array in AS3 then submit searches using indexOf() to verify existence of the word. When I load a smaller text file it seems to work but not the larger. Since the file is embedded during compile, there shouldn't be an event for loading to listen to right?

I have a function that finds the smallest five numbers out of an array of values and returns their index numbers. Here's a block of code from that function[code]...
The whole thing is slow, but I imagine that indexOf() is probably the worst offender. Is there any more efficient way to correlate a series of minimum values with their indexes without having to use indexOf()?
The values don't necessarily have to be stored in _elements, but they're pulled from a multidimensional array so I figure that it's the most efficient I can get at the moment.
Turning of the whitespace around relationals formats the code into:
getDefinitionByName("Helloworld") as Class
into
getDefinitionByName("Helloworld")asClass
Has this been changed in FDT 4.0?
I'm new to AS3, as well as this forum,and had a question. I created a simple ad-lib type game for practice and would like to be able to remove any leading and trailing whitespace that a user inputs from the final outputted ad-lib, as well as if the user tries to submit their input with missing fields of text, it would throw an error and ask them to try again.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to code a click-and-point adventure game for a class, in which interactive objects glow when you mouse over them.... In the frame I have the background image (in which there is, say, a drawer), and an image of the drawer glowing placed exactly over top of that. The glow image is invisible until you mouse over it, at which point it is supposed to become visible (and disappear upon mouseout). I have the mouseover function linked to the entire glow image (which is a movieclip), but it only seems to work when you mouseover a specific portion of the image (usually a corner). The code looks something like this:
ActionScript Code:
DeskDrawer.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, drawerLightUp);
function drawerLightUp(e:MouseEvent){
DeskDrawer.alpha = 100;
}
when the glow-image is moused over, it moves upward slightly and a small amount of whitespace appears at the top of the image.
