How do I split a string by char 0 / byte 0 / 0x00 / u0000 in flash actionscript 3
View 1 Repliesso I have a string "bla dla dla vre bla 54312" I want to turn it into "bla dla dla " by saying something like
function(string, "vre");
how to do such thing?
Following is the script written first to match the values from one array to another and then replace the values in an array with the values stored in 3rd array...well soundsconfusing...just have a look at it.
info=["M", "12/12/2000"];
search=["Gender", "date"];
b=["gender", "date"];

I have absolutely no knowledge in Regex whatsoever. Basically what I'm trying to do is have an error class that I can use to call errors (obviously) which looks like this:
package avian.framework.errors
{
public class AvError extends Object
{
[Code].....
The idea is to replace {0} with the first parameter parsed in ...params, {1} with the second, etc.
I've done a bit of research and I think I've worked out that I need to search using this pattern:
var pattern:RegExp = /{d}/;
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 looking, for various almost mystical reasons, to have a string containing more than one spaces. Basically, I want to be able to have a text string that, when compiled into an SWF, will show "".
View 3 RepliesIt just doesn't seem to return the correct width and height of the string parameter. Documentation states that the function returns 6 properties; width, height, textFieldHeight, textFieldWidth, ascent, descent. textFieldWidth and textFieldHeight are supposed to return the exact height and width in pixels that is required to show the textfield obj. Problem is the text will still appear cropped. Of course the workaround is just to add a space in the string parameter, but this a quick and dirty fix.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to convert a String into an Array of words. To do so I split the String when a space is met, and make a new Array containing only the words. The problem is when I try to get rid of any whitespace. The code works as intended for the whitespace between the words but ALWAYS fails to remove ONE whitespace if there are spaces at the start of my String.
[Code]....
As seen it accounts the last whitespace in front of my sentence as a word and doesn't remove from the Array.
I have a text field that a user can enter a value and right now they can enter "150.55" or "125.55555"
I want to limit the entry to a decimal with a scale of 1.
So they would be only be able to enter "150.5" or "125.5"
I have a var as an integer that I'm reading for the scale. Just not sure how to trim the string so I only display the shortened 150.5
I 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.
How I can remove whitespace from a string, but only if the white space is the first character?[code]...
View 2 RepliesI neeed to insert spaces in front of capital letters in a string. the string contains the name of a country instance for example demRepublicOfCongo. I would like to scan the string and inset spaces before each capital letter so that the contents of the above string would become dem Republic Of Congo, for eaxmple.I found some code that It is posted below.
//Works out country name from string
var country:String=counrtyinstance.replace("_mc","");
var re:RegExp = /(?<=[a-z])([A-Z])/g;

I am trying to parse a string in order to remove all extra white spaces.Iām working in AS3 and at the moment the only pattern I found remove all content:

I simply want to insert a space before any capital letters in a string:So if I have "BruceWillis" I want to convert it to "Bruce Willis" . I am inserting the space before any caps, except the first capital letter.

View 5 RepliesI'm using flash cs4 on a mac and I need to embed some characters to support greek, and probably a lot of other languages. The problem is, my Character embedding dialogue box is empty! There's nothing in it at all... I'm using Tekton Pro as the font for that dynamic text box, I tried using something more basic, Arial and Helvitica didnt work, still nothing to embed. I know the phrase that will be in it, at least the first one, when I put it in the "Include these characters" box and reran, all the dt box would show is an apostrophe. I put the phrase into the dt filed itself and "autofilled" it did the same thing. I also tried doing the same with the % character version ie %B6, it picked up that they were characters but still wasnt displaying right. I'm diverging.
View 3 Replieshow to get the charCode from the character but I cant seem to find out how to get the character from the charcode.
Basically I am I am listening for the KeyDown event on a TextInput.
I prevent the char from being typed via event.preventDefault();
Later I need to add the text-char to the TextInput.
I can get the charCode via event.charCode so if I can turn that into a string I can save it for later user.
Why I need it
Basically I am making a TextInput, that that I can set to display default text in it. When A user types into it, I want to remove the default text first then add the user typed text.
Currently I am either removing it all, or ending up with both.
I have a menu screen that for various reasons consists of a number of buttons as separate flash movies. When a button inside these movies is clicked, it is supposed to call a javascript function to move to the appropriate page. It works fine in firefox, but is currently failing in IE7. I don't have an IE6 handy to test on.This is the error I get in IE:[code]I can't locate what char 25 of line 1 might actually mean. I only get the error when I click on the button, and after installing Visual Web Developer to try and get some actual debugging, it doesn't seem to be actually firing the function that is called, so it seems like the error is happening in whatever mechanism actually makes ExternalInterface.call work?[code]
But as i said it doesn't even show up if I put a breakpoint here and debug it. If I put a javascript:gohere('id') link in the html screen and click that it works fine.I have ExternalInterface.call working in other parts of the same project, and can't for the life of me see any differences in the way it has been implemented.
I have created a text file with the following information:[code]The issue is that the "+" (plus sign") doesn't show at all?

View 11 RepliesIf I import a font to the library, am I correct in assuming that it imports the massive character set (all). There seems to be no setting that I can see where to specify the glyphs or level of character support for example all the funny characters.
View 9 RepliesThis code works when I click in the text field and try to enter letters. ActionScript Code:
_root.InputTxt.text.restrict = "0-9"; However when I add this code to allow keyboard input, I can type other characters beside digits. Why is restrict not working?

I'm trying to use the restrict property of a TextInput field to limit the entry of minutes, so restricting the number of characters to 2, while restricting the first character to the range [0-5] and the second character to the range [0-9]
I've tried a billion things, but I'm not sure I'm going about this the right way,
I have to make a game. in that game there are some notes on the wall. The character (here emma) can be moved by the player with the left and right arrow key. If you press the up key, there should be a function so that you have to keep it pressed for a while, to let her jump, thus making her jump to the notes, so she can get them.
here's the code:
//notes on the wall
var teller:Number=1;
