ActionScript 3.0 :: Split Apart Textfield Into Words?
Oct 25, 2010
I have a document class which is linked to an external class that defines the properties of a specific textfield. When the user submits the text in the textfield (whatever they typed into it) I would like the text to be broken up into the individual words and have those words placed into separate movie clips (the same instance of a movie clip, just each word placed into a different one). How can I do this? Here is the code I am using.
Code:
function replaceText(event:MouseEvent):void { //beginning of the function for the submit button
so i search for keywords ofc, but...doing this isn't really my thing:input.text.indexOf("spam") != -1 && input.text.indexOf("more") ! -1 && ... etc I'd like to make it some what like:input.text.indexOf(<database>) != -1
Is it possible to split a string like "Lorem ispum dolor, sit amet. Howdy doody." into an array of words without commas and periods, in one operation?I've tried words:Array = startString.split(String.fromCharCode(32,44,46));i guess the reason my example doesn't work is because it searced for " ,." to split the string.
I have a string provided to my flash file that I need to break into a max of 3 sentences(strings).
I have written some actionscript to break it up by set lengths, but I also need it to not break words up.
To test you can place the following code in a blank as2 file.
Code: var personalMessage:String = "You got this far so we reckon that you could be curious enough to learn a little more, we�ll contact you shortly to answer any questions you may have."; _root.myArray = new Array(); _root.myArray = personalMessage.split("");
I have a textfield, that has a text value: France Paris. Now I need to know how I can take that string, cut it in 2 parts (France and Paris) and put those two parts in a var. So:
and somewhere i should get
var1 = France; var2 = Paris;
I know there is a split string command, but i'm not familiar with any of this stuff.
I'm trying to apply a format (specifically, green-colored text) to specific words in a TextField. I tried the below method, checking for words in an array "commands", and it works fine apart from a few issues below (see pic).
ActionScript Code: var commands:Array = ["green", "no"] // etc. function formatGreen(msg:TextField):void { for (var i in commands) {
I have a question about textfields and I'm wondering if it is possible to change text styles of single words or lines within a textfield with actionscript.
I use an empty textfield and add my text to that field in actionscript with the following code: myTfield.text = "insert text here"
the text contains multiple lines and I want some of them to be bold, italic or a bigger font size. The reason why I am adding my text to my textfield this way is because I need the text in the textfield to change when some buttons are pressed. Text will be added or removed from the textfield if buttons are pressed by the user and the current way I'm changing the text is by simply re-using the code above with new text in it. (it makes the code quite long though, but I guess I'll have to deal with that) But because I'm adding text this way I am not sure how to change the style of different parts of the text.
On a related note, with CS5 there are now a number of options for textfields. There is TLF text and classic text. I've searched around for the differences but I don't find the awnsers very clear. What option should I use for my textfield if I want it to look sharp like the text I'm typing here (its just regular text, no headers or anything). Some options just give blurry text because of the anti-alias and some settings don't seem to change a thing. And at times embedding fonts looks nice but sometimes it makes it worse. There are so many options to choose from, but it is unclear what would work best for regular text. (my text won't animate, it does move with a scrollbar, but I only care about how it looks when the scrollbar is still)

I'm trying to figure out how to get this started. I'd like to type a word in a textfield and have it search for a match through a list of words in xml. There would be 26 xml files containing a list of words starting with a letter of the alphabet.
I must be doing something wrong it is not working. In my map1.as I have
Code: public class Map1 extends Object3D{ //load skins for planets [embed(source="sunmap.jpg")] private var sunskin:BitmapFileMaterial; private var sun:Sphere; [Code] .....
I am using Away3D engine. I get no errors but I also just have a blank screen.
I would like to calculate the duration of time that span between 2 days. Example: Date: 1/1, Start at 11pm and the duration end for 3 hours. I would like to break the 3 hour apart for both days like the following: Date --- Duration Jan 1st ----- 1 hour Jan 2nd ----- 2 hours How to split the 3 hours time frame from Jan 1st (1hr) and the next day Jan 2nd (2hrs)?
further explanation: Basically, On day Jan 1st at 11pm run for 3 hrs, so the 3 hrs will span from Jan 1st to Jan 2nd. Giving Jan 1st 1hr (as Jan 1st start at 11pm [at night]) and to Jan 2nd 2hrs [in the morning]. So how to split the hours between the 2 days in code?
i've got function to get some results from a php file.The this is, inside that function ive got a loop to split the results and create a textarea for each result.this is what i've got
Hey flash gurus. I did a search and while I feel certain this has been covered (and am content to be flamed) I couldn't find the answer here on the boards so here goes...
I fumble/stumbled my way through making a web site for myself and I'm pretty happy with the results. I am sure I did some obscenely newbish things but it works and it looks good enough so I'm fine with it for now except...
It takes a good long time to load the web site which I believe is due to the fact that ALL the pages of the web site are mashed into a single SWF file. I would like - for a number of reasons - to break this into several different pages (not just for size but to make updates less painful).
building a php/swf project... somewhere in the code it downloads data (which aint XML but my own syntax of variables...) and splits them...
the code crashed on this line: ActionScript Code: (i in dat) dat[i] = dat[i].split("*");
dat is an array, so I'm creating a nested array here...now, I just happened to switch on "permit debugging" from publish settings... and it didn't crash anymore.scrap thatone: it's just randomly giving the error and working...
in local runtime debugging I got this error: TypeError: Error #1006: split is not a function.
can anyone plz explain me wtf is it with these idiotic error messages in cs4? (ok, thisone might make sense...if "split" actually wasn't a function... however the ones like "error: you have an error in your script" etc. are even cooler)
Anyway, I want to do something really basic and simple. I want to have a word fade in then fade out. Then another word in another place fade in and fade out.
I'm trying to use a string from a split command as the var name of a new array the string being split is spec0[1][400] where spec0 becomes the new array name after the split.How should i write this.....P.S. the ultimate goal is to take the string split it up and make a new array out of its split data......is this realistic?
PHP Code: trace(loader.data.spec0); var str:String = loader.data.spec0;
I have an array of 48 MovieClips separated into 6 columns and 8 rows. I dont want the user to have to scroll down so I would like to separate this array into 3 pages with 18 on each page (the last page would only have 12) with arrows to go from page to page. How do I accomplish 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".
I have an XML document that is a response pulling person records from a data base query. The XML format is <root><row> .....data fields with tags </row><row> data fields with tags </row> ........ for the number of records returned. </root>. I want to split up the answer into an array of records, with each record being split up into an array of fieldsI can get to the first record with this:
var people = new Array(); var person = new Array(); var i = 0;
possible to split up a video file into different parts using the netstream classes? I see youtube do this with large video files, for example, for video named goodvideo, it would stream goodvideo part1,goodvideo part2, goodvideo part3,etc but I'm not sure how to split the video file up.
