I have to validate NCS color names but I just cannot figure out the right RegExp for that.
How such a name looks like is the following:
1. a 4-digit number
2. a dash (-)
then either
3. one of the letters Y,R,G or B
4. a 2-digit number
5. the letter R
or
3. just the letter N
I tried & I tried but I just cannot find it.
I've got a world map with an instance name of map_mc. Inside map_mc, every country is a movieclip object. So for example, the United States is a movieclip. I'm using the GreenSock tint plugin (TweenPlugin.activate([TintPlugin]) to color transition the countries from white to red.
Here's my goal:
I want to randomly color transition (using Tint) every country from white to red over 20 seconds.
Here's my issue:
Is there a way to do this without having to give each movieclip an instance name, creating an array and randomizing the array. Is there a simple loop I could create that color transitions every movieclip object inside map_mc?
In my webpage I've created a colour palette with a drag and drop action. It works fine! But my problem is when a colour is draged in to a certain area, How can I make the name of the colour display in a text box?There are 60 colors in my palette and 5 areas where the user could drop different colors to. I want to have 5 text boxes for each selected color name to be displayed

View 3 RepliesI have generated actionscript (AS3) beans from the Serverside(java).
Now some of the classes had (Long,long,double) which I had to convert into Number on the Actionscript side (as we dont have long ,double etc ) on AS3 side.
Now I have to validate Number on AS3 side to match type on Serverside .
Let take example I have a field
private long number ;
in java which is converted as
private number:Number ; on AS side
this will accept number as (Double Long etc) but we know that we cannot fit Double into long on java
so I am wondering is there anyway we can validate AS3 Number to be valid "Long" on Acrionscript side ?
I'm getting my head around XML E4X in Actionscript 3 and been looking at Senocular's article about filters [URL] for a better way of validating the code below?

Im a scrub when it comes to flash (but i gotta start somewhere) and started making a form.I made a validation on the orders email and the orders details.The purpose of the form is to get some information about trips.there are 10 rows with 4 fields.the 4 fields is a date, from, to and time textfield.
i wanna group up and validate these fields so that if you write something in "from" you have to write something in "date", "to" and "time".
I'm not sure how to validate a form done in flash...

View 3 RepliesI'm still learning AS3 and am trying to set up validating user (text box) input of 2 items (name and password) by checking with an SQL Server Database on my website.I have the ASP page set up using a standard request/response.write script. It works I've tested the ASP, and it works. The ASP receives the 2 variables, hopefully each in a name-value pair, and checks with the DB, then if the name and password received from the Flash SWF match a name and password in the DB, sends back a "YES" and, if not, sends back a "NO".I'm having difficulty getting the AS3 written and working correctly. Here's what I have so far that displays errors, causes a flickering when previewed and doesn't yet work.

We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.

I'm Using EmailValidator for Validation:
<mx:EmailValidator id="Email_Validator"
source="{txtEmail}"
property="text" required="false"/>
And My Code is:
var isValidForm:Boolean=true;
var validatorArr:Array = new Array();
validatorArr.push(Email_Validator);
var validatorErrorArray:Array = Validator.validateAll(validatorArr);
isValidForm = validatorErrorArray.length == 0;
if(isValidForm) {

It is working fine. But I want domain should be "gmail.com" if some other, validation should return false.. How can I achieve this? I think Regular Expressions are useful. But I don't Know to use the same in flex?...
I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);
the output window gives me
drawer
instance2
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?
I use the following doctype in a page that has a flash object,

Given the nearly plain-text nature of Flash, from a security standpoint, we must assume that your SWF can be decompiled into human readable format. That said, how can we ensure the validity of any online calls? For example, recording a high score might make a call similar to this:
Code:
var url:String = "http://someserver.com/tracker/scoreTable.aspx?mode=record&score=" + _userScore + "&checksum=" + MD5.hash( /* stuff */);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( );
loader.load( new URLRequest( url ) );
You can do all the MD5 hash checking to make sure the data received matches what was sent, but how can you verify the validity of the call? For instance, one could decompile the SWF and figure out how to build the query string manually, or they could reverse engineer it from monitoring the internet calls from the SWF itself. They could even use a run-time memory editor to change the figures that store the information while playing the game, so that when the recordHighScore call is made, it sends 1,000,000 instead of 1,000. How does one authoritatively validate data and protect against abuse?
I have a simple flash form, which has some required fields, ie. name, addy, etc. What I want to do, is validate that the fields have been filled before they can hit the "next" button.

i have a button, with instance name lightblue_color.

Why is that? Shouldn't it print 0x65ffff or do i need to do some type conversions?

Using Actionscript 3.0 (Within Flash CS5)A standard regex to match any digit is:
var myRegexPattern:Regex = /d/g;
What would the regex look like to incorporate a string variable to match?(this example is an 'IDEAL' not a 'WORKING' snippet) ie:
var myString:String = "MatchThisText"
var myRegexPatter_WithString:Regex = /d[myString]/g;
I've seen some workarounds which involve creating multiple regex instances, then combine them by source, with the variable in question, which seems wrong. OR using the flash string to regex creator, but it's just plain sloppy with all the double and triple escape sequences required.There must be some pain free way that I can't find in the live docs or on google.
