I'm currently searching google whilst I ask this - I just couldn't find anything on my initial searches.Are there any quick ways to remove all non-numeric characters from a string?For example my string would contain:
'code: 1234'
I would wish to remove the 'code: ' part from the string just leaving '1234'.
if i have this, for example:<font color="#9378FE" size="28">LOREM DOLOR IPSUM SIT AMET</font>how do i remove any occurence of html tags?so that i am only left with:LOREM DOLOR IPSUM SIT AMET
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to strip the name of a movieclip to just the number so that I can use it as a parameter in a function. The name of the movieclip is mcThumb6 and there are 8 different clips that are numbered 1 - 8. I'm trying to use the .split method to remove the mcThumb and just have the "6" remain. The movieclips all have rollover functions. The rollover event strips out the string and then will call a function using the number (based on which movieclip was rolled over). This is working except when I trace out the new value it adds a comma in front of the number -- i.e. the output looks like this: ,6 instead of just 6.Does anyone know where this comma is coming from?
The code:
mcNav.mcThumb6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, thumbOver);
function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent):void

I have to send a string from flash and I need to format it correctly. I'm going to use the restrict property too. Heres what I'm looking to achieve.
1. Remove and commas
2. If there are more than 2 characters after the period, round it the nearest number. Im guess for a minute you have to turn the string into a number then back to a string when processed.
ActionScript Code:
var badStr1:String = '1,000,000';
var badStr2:String = '1,000.98965';
how do I remove the " " newline characters from a string in AS3 ? I can do it in Flex using StringUtil trim, but that is not available in Flash.

sTest = " test" //string
sFinal = nTest & sTest //string
I get an error with this, because sFinal is a string, and im tryin to put in an numeric value. How can I create this code so that it will work? I want the sFinal to contain "1 test". This code is useless, I know, but this is just an example.
I have an mc.instance name is Twentysecond it has a text box called label When clicked Twentysecond populates a text box and I want to use this code Flash will not let me use an instance name of 22nd.
TwentySecond.label = _name;//(I want this to show 22)
onRelease = function(){
myTextBox = _name; // (I want this to show 22nd
}
I should know how to do this, but memory is failing.
I`ve got one combobox wich items are named as alfabetic stringsThen one input textfield where u inser numbersThen in the third element on stage (dynamix textfield) wher the result of the calculation is displayed.The problem is that when i try to transform the text string into a numeric value like this it dosent work (example for giving the string "Leds " a value of 300):
var myNumber:Number = 300;
var myString:String = "Leds" (myNumber)
This is the rest of the code without the conversion from text to number working good but

I have made a form and want to check valid data i.e if alpanumeric value is req. user cannot enter numeric value and vice versa. I found no inbuilt fn. in flash which could detect whether the entered value is string or numeric.

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 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 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"
I need a regexp to remove all all type of empty characters from a string and just leave numbers so for example: myString = " 1 "; to return "1"

View 4 RepliesSo I have a flashobject which I need to pass a formatted DateTime string to.
My code:
string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
which outputs as: 2009-09-16 22:26:45
However when it is actually output to HTML and swfobject it renders it as:
so.addVariable("inNowDate","2009-09-16+22%3a25%3a13");
I think this is messing up a calculation that the flash object does based off the current time. Do I need to encode or decode this?

This works fine but when I upload to my clients server the url might be somewhat different. Is there a way to split off the last 14 characters and see if they = slideShow2.swf or is there a command if the string contains "slideShow2.swf".
What i'm trying to do is to first of all remove all special characters from a hard coded tweet. What I want to do after is to convert each letter into a specific tone, using MML (Music Macro Language).When i play the tweet via the sound library sion after my attempted replacing i only get five tones through. What am I doing wrong? I'm guessing it's simple, but I don't know anything.I'm coding Actionscript 3 in FDT, which is all very new to me, as is regexp.

var string1:String="Jeep Liberty - Green";
var string1:String="Jeep Patriot - Yellow";
var string1:String="Jeep Compass - Black";
For each string, I want to create a function that removes the text to the right of the "-" character so the strings return as:

var string1:String="Jeep Liberty ";[code].....

Working with JSON and some command strings I am building are getting lengthy.
what I need is simple thing, I have string which cantains data - time retrived from mySQL in mySQL format HH:MM:SS YY-MM-DD what I need is to split this string in actionscript to array of numbers like this
HH
MM
SS
YY
MM
DD
so I can compare it with current time, how to splite using multiple delimiters at first, then compare it with current time. this is my work until now

How can I check if a string has any other character than the ones listed here: [URL]
I would like to know if the string was inputted in any other language than English. Is finding special characters in the string the best way to detect non-english characters?
I'm new to actionscript and i cant seem to get the regex syntax right in actionscript3. The task is straight forward, i want to make sure that the first two characters in a given string are alphabets and nothing else.[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to know if is possibile through regularexpression, count the numbers contained into a string and add a specified character near it.
For exemple, this is a string: Hello2all821abc13 This string contain 3 numbers: 2, 821 and 13 (note that the numbers contained into 821 and 13 are considered like an unique entity, not signle). I want to add near each of it the "-" symbol. Is it possible?
I have made this converter and it stops working when the user presses enter, as the new line corrupts the data. So i thought, i'll just remove the new lines every time the user presses enter.

I have a flash app that I would like to listen for a string of characters being typed on a keyboard. If a user typed in apple as an example that would either be correct or incorrect, and if they typed it in uppercase or lowercase or upper and lower it would still equate to true. Here is the tricky part, the string is not being typed into a textfield or anything like that, it must just be typed and after flash sees the correct keys pressed in the correct sequence it will fire a function.
I have seen this done before in a situation where a website had a background administration application, and when browsing the site you could just type admin, and a window would pop up asking for a username and password, so that is almost exactly what I want. Because of this I figured I would try to replicate the admin application first as it should be simpler
This is what I have thus far
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keysPressed);
var keyCatcher:Array=new Array(); var keyCatchNew:String;
function keysPressed(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(e.charCode==65 || e.charCode==68 || e.charCode==77 || e.charCode==73 || e.charCode==78 || e.charCode==97 || e.charCode==100 || e.charCode==109 || e.charCode==105 || e.charCode==110){
keyCatcher.push(String.fromCharCode(e.charCode));
