ActionScript 3.0 :: RegExp Connundrum - Extracting Numbers From An Alpha-numeric String?
Apr 22, 2009
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"?

Is there a way to extract a numeric value from my variable using concatination.
var i:Number = 1;
var test1value:Number = 3;
trace(this["test"+i+"value"]);
I tried all kinds of tricks but I just can get the string name of the variable instead of the value it holds.

I have two input boxes that I can type numbers into.I'd like a third input box to display the total of the first two.I've set up a key pressed listener on the stage to run a function that adds them together when a key is pressed.Problem is, it just places the strings together - it ddoesn't add them.So how do I tell Flash that box1.text and box2.text are numbers?box3.text = box1.text + box2.text ain't doing it.

I'm trying to take a png and create two images, one that represents the color data and the other a grayscale version of the alpha channel.
Extracting the correct data was no problem, i'm just embedding the png, creating a new instance (as a Bitmap) and then extracting the relevent channels of it's bitmapData to two new bitmapData instances.
ActionScript Code:
[Embed(source='/../deploy/images/alpha_test.png')]
public var image : Class;
[code]....
The problem that i'm having, is that when i assign the colors bitmapData to a bitmap instance to display it, the background color is showing as black, even though the default fillColor of a bitmapData instance is white. how i can use the alpha channel data to create an 8 bit, grayscale image, that's the reverse of the channel?

How to convert a string to a regular expression? Right now if I try to convert a string to a regexp, the regular expression ends up with a / in front and a /g in the back.

string = justsomerandomstuff.Count:12562morerandomstuffI need to extract the "12562"I never know how far in the string this number will be, but I do know it's 1 character away from the word "Count". Somehow I would need to find the position of the string "Count within the variable, add 1 and extract the numbers. Also the the number is not always the same lenghth, so it would also have to work with this:string = justsomerandomstuff.Count:14238960morerandomstuff.

I have a string coming into my flash app that is formatted differently quite often. Sometimes, that string has HTML with various formatting options. I need a way to extract the message regardless of the fact if the person uses <B> , <I> or nothing. Below are sample strings:
STRING 1:
<FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">
<B>
<I>hi hun</I>
</B>

ActionScript Code:
input.text = "[URL]";
function PlayVideo(event:MouseEvent):void {
switch (event.type) {
case "click":
var findVideo:RegExp = /(?<=?v=)([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+/;
trace(findVideo.exec(input.text));
break;
}}
I don't know what video this is (just picked it randomly off of the front page), but by clicking a button, the RegExp is called, looks for an ID in the input.text String, but when it does and I trace it, it gives me this:
ActionScript Code:
QGsGJlCpor4,4
What's with the ,4? How do I get rid of that?

So I'd like to remove all spaces from an input text box, and replace them with commas, and I'd like to learn how to do this with RegExp, which I've never before used.This doesn't work (though if I do s.search(re) it returns the first space):
Code:
var s:String = searchTerms.text;
var re:RegExp = /s/g;

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 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 am getting a string from Twitter into my Actionscript which is a unformatted string. I want to be able to extract any links and or any @replies from the string, then display it in htmlText.
So far I have this
var txt:String = "This is just some text http://www.thisisawebsite.com and some more text via @sumTwitter";
var twitterText:String = txt.slice(txt.indexOf("@"),txt.indexOf("
[Code].....
This is fine for extracting links, which finish with a space. But what if, like the @sumTwitter, it finishes at the end of the string. And also what if there are multiple links or @'s, is the best way to put it in a while loop?

I am building a remote control, and when i enter txt, right now i can "change the channel" only for a single value 1-9. the way it functions is you hit the number, then an enter button, and the channel changes. The problem is I want to able to enter 2 digits, and the way i have it coded now, it adds the the numbers together instead of reading 1 as 2 , 2 as 4 and so on, here is the code, I'm thinking i should use an array, or a string to get the proper value, but when i use the "+" sign it still adds the number together, how would i express, so it sees 11 as eleven etc?
ActionScript Code:
function storePad(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var aNum:Number = Number(evt.target.name.substr(4))

I have an advanced data grid. The data provider for this ADG is an ArrayCollection. There is a grouping collection on an ID field of this AC. Example of a couple items within this AC the AC var name is "arcTemplates":
(mx.collections::ArrayCollection)#0
filterFunction = (null)
length = 69
list = (mx.collections::ArrayList)#1
[code]....
Problem: In my AC example there are a few items, items 0, 32 and 56 properly sort and group to their templateTypeID, but item 55 does something weird. It seems to sort/group on the numeric 5 instead of the string "5". Gets stranger. If I change the name property to contain text (so 1234x) it then correctly sorts/groups to the string "5"
