i'm trying to do a string replace with but can't seem to get the regular expression right. change "/portfolio/2/3/" to "portfolio_2_3"? Basically I want to remove the leading and following slashes, and convert all the other slashes to underscores.
View 2 RepliesI am creating an application in Flex that uses an embedded SQLite database. The data in the database contains quotes and other special characters which are escaped using a backslash or ''.Before I retrieve the data and render it in a Flex text area control I want to remove the ''. Is there any function in Flex which can help me do this - some equivalent of stripslashes() in PHP?
View 1 RepliesI've made a project which uses double slashes ("\") on paths for source files like sounds,xml etc. It works fine on a CD but I want to uploaded on a server.The swf files which use those paths work fine on IE but not on firefox,safari,opera etc. I red that the problem is the slashes that I used in paths. They should be backslashes like "/Sounds/somesound.mp3" and not "\Sounds\somesound.mp3".I found that firefox translates "\Sounds\somesound.mp3" to a single file named "Soundssomesound.mp3", the directory "Sounds" now turns to a part of the filename.
If I place and rename the source files like "Soundssomesound.mp3" on the server in the same directory with the swf file (not in "Sounds" directory) this way works on firefox, but does not work on IE. I have to place the source files in both ways to work in all browsers but that's not good...I know that the best thing that I can do is to change the path syntax in fla's but the project is to big.
I'm using Ant with FDT 3 and I have Ant creating a jsfl to compile fla's. When I use the built in '${basedir}' property in Ant it gives me the path with backslashes() in it because I'm on Windows. The problem is that when its run through jsfl the slashes are taken as escapes. I need to know how to modify the basedir property so the slashes are converted to forward slashes. I've tried splitting the basedir on backslashes in jsfl and joining it with forward slashes as a delimiter, but the backslashes still cause problems.
So what I need to know is how to change the basedir in Ant to have forward slashes?
var aText:String = "C:\folder\folder\file";
var filterVal:String = aText.toLowerCase().replace( ///g, '/');
trace( aText );[code]....
this code was based on this site and nascent regex skills.What am I doing wrong?
I'm using flash and php to write or overwrite a text file (an xml file). I have text strings that contain the xml data, which then get parsed by the php file.
It works fine. However, I notice that the header in the XML file <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> get's replaced with <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
Why would slashes get added?

After the double forward slashes in the website address, the rest of the line gets greyed or commented out in the Script Pane.[code]

I'm using deeplinking in a Flex 3 application. I've got a ViewStack and I'd like to use the id's of the canvases in the url. I've read that search engines prefer hyphens over underscores as word separators. So, the search engine sees "big-book" as a separate word, but "big_book" as possibly one word. Also, underscores are obscured when a link is underlined. For the above reasons, I thought that it would be good to use hyphens. The problem is that Flex doesn't allow hyphens in an id.

<Canvas id="my_stuff"></Canvas>
<Canvas id="my_stuff_more"></Canvas>
<Canvas id="my_stuff_lots"></Canvas>

How do you set the leading of a block of static text in flash?? As I couldn't find a "leading" control in the panel... (only kerning)
Is there such way to do so without using actionscript such as myText in html format...?
I've looked in the user manual and I can't find any reference to toString() for syntax information. Isn't there a parameter for me to use to specify the string lenght? And whether to add leading zeros or not?Here's the code I need to add leading zeros:

function playSound(e:Event){ SoundMixer.stopAll(); var num:Number = Math.ceil(Math.random()*43); bigNum.text = num.toString(); var path:String = "Track No" +

I'm a noob to actionscript so this should be easy:How do I delete leading characters from a string? I have a string that contains (at times) both numeric & non-numeric characters.

var testVar:String = '999998gjek74k';
testVar.replace(/^0/g, "");

View 1 Repliesim making a quick flash cd rom for my digital music label and i wanted to have buttons (leading to the different content scenes) that were moving around constantly (kinda flying around the screen) thing is im not sure what im doing wrong ive tried using an animated movieclip as a button but the button functions dont seem to work...the reason ive done this is because ive used a stop action on scene one frame 1 (so the buttons display properly) but i want the buttons to move around constantly the only option i know would work would be to create tweens moving the buttons around on screen one but it would eventually stop unless i can somehow loop back to frame one.
View 6 RepliesI want to have two movie clips that each have their own button leading to an external URL. Both of these movie clips have classic tweens (only making them fade in and out).If I do one, it works, but when I do two, it fails on me!

I have tried doing them in the same scene and on separate scenes (see attached).
i was hoping that someone might have an answer to my question. is there ANY way to dynamically change the kerning of an input box? i'd like to give users the ability to modify the kerning of my .swf file. i know flash allows you to change properties like font size, colour, alignment, etc., but i can't find a way to change the kerning property. i don't even think one exists for them. so is there any kind of work around to this?also, is there any reason why i can't use negative values for leading for the input box? it only allows me to use positive numbers when i try to change it dynamically.

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?
