ActionScript 3.0 :: Pull Numbers Out Of A String?
Aug 3, 2011
I need to pull numbers out of a string. I can easily iterate over all the characters, but the problem I am having is that often the numbers are zeroes. Is there a way to convert a string to an integer other than casting (since int("0") and int("a") both return 0)? Basically I need to be able to differentiate between "string1string" and "string10string".

I am trying to convert a string having numbers to an integer.
//15 9's are there
var str:String="999999999999999"
var res:Number = new Number(str);
But it is not able to convert correctly as the the var res now has the value 100000000000000000. I know that the number has 52 bits of memory, then why is it not able to do the conversion?

I have a list of functions inside an array.I want to pull out the names of these functions as they are written in the array, and display them through the trace.Easy? All I get is a 'type function' ...from what I thought would be as simple as this:::
Code:
var func_ary:Array = new Array(doThis, StartMe, etc);
trace(String(func_ary[2]));

What I want to create is a lightbulb, with a pull-string next to it. When you pull the string, the lightbulb turns on, and when you let go, the string bounces up and swings around, causing the lightbulb to swing slightly as well.I tried to do this with prefabbed animations, but it just doesn't look right. I know i have to code it so a movie clip of a single dot spawns several instances of itself, and I can do that... but then I get lost.

I'm trying to find a way to parse out some numbers from a potential string. Basically, I'm making a financial-based calculator, and the user could input something like
$45,509.30
and I'm trying to figure out how to extract everything but the period so I'm left with
45509.30
I found this help from Senocular: [URL]
But unfortunately, it's AS1 and I can't get it to work with my code...t

I'm wanting to make a small program that when people paste in some long text like below:
05/01/2009 02:14:59 Ad Package Bonus in amount of 4.
05/01/2009 02:14:59 Ad Package acquired in amount of 16.
04/30/2009 11:05:37 Ad Package Bonus in amount of 2.
04/30/2009 11:05:37 Ad Package acquired in amount of 11.
That I can have a button that will ad up the numbers on the right side
So the solution would be: 33

I'm trying to replace numbers in a person's name, but cannot seem to get the syntax correct. Below is what I thought would work.
Code:
var name:String = "BabeRuth27";
var regEx:RegExp = new RegExp("/[0-9]/");
var noNumbersName:String = name.replace(regEx, "");

has anyone had any problems with addition? I'm trying to get two numbers to add and instead it is concatenating them together as a string, however when I multiply, divide, or even subtract them it works fine.

var myNumber:Number = 1.8;
trace(myNumber);
The above gives "1.7999999999999998"
conversion of String(myNumber) also gives "1.7999999999999998"
This only happens with certain numbers. If (myNumber == 1.4) it doesn't give me this problem.
I've checked with the debugger and the values are correct both before and after the trace or String conversion. However, the string itself is incorrect.

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]...

I have 3 input texts on the stage.
money_input
percent_input
years_input
what I want after pressing the button (calculate_btn)is to get thees values entered from these input texts into 3 vaiables.
var $money
var $percent
var $years
and check if the inputs are numbers only not string not empty. I tried to convert the inputs to numbers to insure that they are numbers without making a function to check the inputs but always I get NaN when I entr value like 444bb;
ActionScript Code:
error_txt.text = "Enter some values to calculate your loan";

I I have an alpha-numeric string as a variable. I would like to extract (from left to right) all of the numbers from the string and then push them into an array. Below, is what I have going so far, but it stops after the first number it meets. I was under the impression that the RegExp.exec runs through the entire string before stopping.
var testMenu:RegExp = /d/;
var whichTarget:String = me.target.name[code]..........
when I trace my array, it is just filled with the first number that is encountered. So, in the two examples above the array beomes [1] (when the string that is executed is "menu1sub2hypo3" and then [3] when the string that is executed is "menu3sub4hypo8". It craps out after the first number is reached.What I really want is that the array gets filled with [1, 2, 3] in the first example and [3, 4, 8] in the second example. How in Helsinki would I do that? Does the exec function need to be looped in any way?
Not so important right now but thinking a little down the line: what regular expression would I need to find "25" instead of just "2" if I run this RegExp.exec on a string that may look like this "menu25sub3hypo6"?

I have the input textfield with instance name vIn, and the variable _vIn. (The textfield is empty.)[code]i have five other variable/textfield pairs were this works ok. I don't get why this pair doesn't work also, my textfields won't accept the subtraction operator, - , even though they're all set to vIn.restrict = "0123456789.-";It doesn't even work in the output textfields were there's no restriction (Negative results are displayed positive)

We're making a simple input text comparisons vs. some constant floating point numbers (e.g. 4.35). Using Actionscript 2 to Flash 9 export. Getting totally contradictory traces on two different computers compiling identical code...Here's some simple code we're using to figure out what's going on.
Code:
trace(typeof(Number(435/100)))
trace(typeof(Number(435/100)==4.35))
trace((Number(435/100)==4.35))
[code]....
Also, what behavior do any PC users have? I'm expecting the latter since they're generally intel chipsets too?Note: once i compile the code on my PPC mac, intel macs that run the SWF (but don't recompile the FLA) do return the correct booleans that match the PPC output.

how to do this and not found much, so here goes:
I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.

create a function that picks out X amount of numbers from a set of numbers? So if X=3, then i need this function to pick out 3 different numbers from say a set of numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and then stored it into X number of variables.
In saying that, X will only =2, and =5. So in the first instance, i'll need 2 random numbers from the set above that are not the same numbers, and second instance 5 random numbers from the set above (also no repeats of numbers). Then i need to be able to store those 2 or 5 different random numbers from the set into variables to call them with other functions.
