ActionScript 3.0 :: String Compare Does Not Work Inside Array For Match
Feb 6, 2010
How to compare a string with strings inside an array for a match? I have a file in which each sentence (or word) (generally string) is present in a new line. Opened the file and read the contents to a string.
Code:
private function readHandler(event:Event):void{
_str = _readStream.readUTFBytes(_readStream.bytesAvailable);
_strArray = _str.split(" "); //contains each string that appears in a new line
_length = _strArray.length;
[Code] .....
But this doesn't work. Seems like if(_input == _strArray[i]) never gets executed even if they are equal. What might be the problem. Is there some better way to so it?

Code:
var s:String = '%include %unquote(&open.gtestit&close);';
var re:RegExp = /([%&]?w+)/g;
var a:Array = s.match(re);
trace(a.join('
'));
I'm splitting the string up into words (w) where the word might have an optional % or & in front of it. The output is what I expect:
Code:
%include
%unquote
&open
gtestit
&close
Is there a way to get the index of each matched string in one call? I know I can walk the original string using the resulting array and get indexes, but was hoping there was something similar to MATCH(). Something like:
Code:
var array:Array = s.index_match(re);
and the results would be:
Code:
array[0] = 0
array[1] = 9
array[2] = 18
array[3] = 24
array[4] = 31

I need to compare a number with a element in a Array(curModeDisplay), I can trace the element and see it without problem. But when I try to compare the inside element with a String, it didn't work. Why?
ActionScript Code:
curModeDisplay = new Array(); \this is the Array I need
for (var tvM:XMLNode = tv.firstChild; tvM!=null; tvM=tvM.nextSibling){
curModeDisplay.push(tvM.childNodes); \received element fine here
}
trace(curModeDisplay); \ This works fine. Array displays correctly
When I need those elements from the Array(curModeDisplay) and try to make some comparison work, it did not work:
ActionScript Code:
function DigitCompare():Void{
for(var index in curModeDisplay){
if(curModeDisplay[index]=="11265"){ //it seems didn't work here
[code]....
Is that because the element in the Array is reference to the XML node, and "11265" is String. If so, how should I fix this problem. The "11265" will be changed to any named String type variable in the future.

I'm creating this math based game for my son to learn math. Everything was going fine until the last if statement. What I need it to do is compare two values and determine if they are an identical match and if so say is correct and if not then say its incorrect. I have a random number generator and that number is being stored in a variable String and then it is being converted into a number, that part works. I then have setup like a calculator 4 different variables that act as plus, minus, multiplication and division. Since there is 4 different variables i have been thrown into a loop and can't figure this one out!This is my random number generator:
ActionScript Code:
var RandomNumS: String = "0";
var RandomNum : Number = Number(RandomNumS);

In Actionscript and Adobe Flex, I'm using a pattern and regexp (with the global flag) with the string.match method and it works how I'd like except when the match returns multiple occurrences of the same word in the text. In that case, all the matches for that word point only to the index for the first occurrence of that word. For example, if the text is "cat dog cat cat cow" and the pattern is a search for cat*, the match method returns an array of three occurrences of "cat", however, they all point to only the index of the first occurrence of cat when i use indexOf on a loop through the array. I'm assuming this is just how the string.match method is. I want to find the specific indices of every occurrence of a match, even if it is of a word that was already previously matched.
how the string.match method is and if so

I have a string that contains a full name input, and I would like to spilt them into 2 parts and save them inside an array, first name and last name. How do I do it with string.split? My current code is myNameArray = str_adminInput.split(" "); This code only works if the names are : Jack Lee, June Poh. This code does not work if the names are: Lee Tok Kong, Tan Beng Seng.

I have an object with an Array of objects inside. Each object has a name property. To scope it directly I would use:
ActionScript Code:
obj._arrayOfObjects[0]._object name; // trace returns the first object's name in the array
if you understand this so far then here is an easy question for you.

I have an object which needs to be added to an array, but when it is, it doesn't show the string inside. However, when I alert the exact same object, I get the result I'm looking for.
Here's my code.
newArray.push(obj.responseData.results[i].phoneNumbers[0].number);
alertMe(obj.responseData.results[i].phoneNumbers[0].number);
The first line shows nothing in that location in the array, and the second pops up a phone number, just like I'm after.

the string from the Autocad DXF file does not compare with the string in my AS3 file even though they are absolutely identical.
As a simple example
private function onComplete():void

myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("Drawing1.dxf"));
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

The question seems to be simple, however it create problems for me. I have a dataGrid with two dataFields: peerID, name. The information in a grid updated dynamically when new user joined the group (I'm creating a chat). I need that information about user deleted from a grid after it's disconnect. So, on "NetGroup.Neighbor.Disconnect": event i want to compare "event.info.peerID" value with all peerID values in a grid and delete info about disconnected user.
I'm trying to use next construction:
for (var i:uint, len:uint = txtDataArray.length; i < len; i++)
{
if (txtDataArray.source[i] == event.info.peerID)
{
[code]....
But it doesn't work at all!
I'v noticed that construction txtDataArray.source[i] (or txtDataArray.getItemAt(i) ) returned [object GridColumn] insead of value. So, I have two questions:
1) How to get the value of exact cell?
2) How to organized info delete after user disconnect?

I have the following as3 function below which converts normal html with links so that the links have 'event:' prepended so that I can catch them with a TextEvent listener.
protected function convertLinks(str:String):String
{
var p1:RegExp = /href|HREF="(.[^"]*)"/gs;
[Code]....
How can i modify my function so that links with 'event:' at the start are NOT matched and are left unchanged?

My question concerns the following tutorial I've been working through:Building a Flex Type-Ahead Text Input
I was successful in enabling a search of available terms using the characters entered in the input, but only irrespective of the location of the characters in the terms. However, I am wondering how one might have the characters match only the beginning of the terms.
For example, suppose I enter the string "app" into the text input. How can I get only "apple" and not, for instance, "pineapple" to appear as an option?
