I'm slowly converting my older Director-made tutorials to Flash. The user inputs text, and then I evaluate it. Before this evaluation, I want to remove spaces to avoid the user's input being counted incorrect because of an extra space. How do I do this for Flash CS5?
Here's what I did for Director.

I'm building a word search game using the following AS3 code. My problem is I need to have spaces in my array of words, so that I can have things like states names, but I need the spaces removed before the words go into the puzzle.
The other concern is also that when a person selects a word from the puzzle will it still match the word in the list even though the word in the list still has a space.[code]...
I need to make a little program in AS3 that count spaces in a stringexample: The capital of England is Londonnumber of spaces: 5
View 9 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is take a string of numbers and convert it into an array, while cutting out the non-digits. Here is the format:1.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+000 1.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+0001.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+000So it's basically: Space, Space, Digit, Space, Space, Digit, NewlineRight now I am using the following code (myString is a String, and dataSet1 is an Array):
var reg:RegExp = new RegExp("
");
myString = textLoader.data;dataSet1 = myString.split(reg);

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;

View 5 RepliesI have a string in a variable called lets say "mcName". I want to loop through and remove all the numbers in it. there is always a number at the end but it could be 1, 2 or 3 digits long so i can't just slice the last letter.
View 3 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

View 3 RepliesI have used flashvars to send a URL query string to my movie, though I need to filter the string to remove one of the variables.For instance, I am trying to remove 'var2' from: var1=aaa&var2=bbb&var3=ccc..However, the query string is not the same every time. For instance, sometimes 'var1' may equal 'aad', 'var3' may equal '183', etc.So basically what I need to do is, regardless of what is contained in the string, always filter out 'var2'.

View 2 RepliesI 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';
I have an array of characters that for some reason is adding commas in between all it's characters.So if:

I have a multiline textfield were users can type text. I split the text in words so I can compair them to see if they are a certain word. Some words don't pass the if statment even if they are the same (at leased to me). I found out it's because these words have a hard return in front of them. I need to remove the hard return, but I can't find out how. I tried to split the string on " ", but that doesn't work.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to remove / replace white space from a string in as3. The string comes from xml and than written into text field. To compare the strings I am trying to remove white spaces
var xmlSentence:String=myXML.SENTENCE[thisSentence];
var tfSentence=e.target.text;
var rex:RegExp = /s+/;
trace(xmlSentence.replace(rex, "-"));
trace(tfSentence.replace(rex, "-"));
That code outputs like this:
She-has a dog
-She has a dog
I also tried different rex patterns. The problem is that though there are spaces in both string -which are same- it finds only one space but not the same one in both strings.
For a project, I'm trying import htmlText into flash, and then remove any items flash will not process. For example, the html I want to import contains custom "[caption][/caption]" code. I essentially want to remove these identifiers and any text from in between them so that flash will not display them in a text field. Does anyone have a good suggestion/example for me? I have been trying to figure out how to use regular expressions to do this, but have been unsuccessful in finding a good guide for it and so have failed.
And example of text I'm trying to filter:
