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

View 2 Repliesmaking my number value to 2 decimal places...
I have 2 string that contain a number in dynamic text (pricing_txt /pricing_txt2) that i have turned into numbers (myNumber/myNumber2). I then have a calculation that adds these two together and i need the result to be 2 decimal places long.
I have used the code
Code:
("number"*100)/100
which from looking on mny sites should solve the problem but it is still not working. My code is below...
Code:
var myString:String = pricing_txt.text;

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 searched the forums and found several examples but none of them worked for me.I tried...
ActionScript Code:
var pattern:RegExp = /_/gi;
var instanceName:String = evt.target.name;[code].......
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've managed to get myself stuck in a situation where a database full of images ( transparent images of various products ) needs to be placed on the stage, all of which need to be aligned the same by the products height. My problem is that the png's of products are 'floating' and I have no control of where about's in the png it will sit ( could be tight at the top and loads of room at the bottom, vice versa)
Does anyone know an existing way to find out the png's 'true' height ( width is an extra ). I've thought about looping through the bitmap data and checking but wondered if anyone has invented this wheel already?
I am using flv player in my application and i want to trim my displaying video in run time.Is it possible in flash or let me know if you have any solution for this problem.
View 2 RepliesI want to trim a sound and then let it loop in a slideshow. The sound -- a roaring crowd at a soccer game-- should loop as a slideshow plays. As the movie repeats the sound should continue to play. It doesn't have to be in sync.
This works if I use Streaming, but there's a gap at the beginning of the movie as if the sound was being loaded over and over again.
I've been advised not to use Streaming, but if I don't, the sound is reproduced in its entirety-- there is no trimming.
I have a Flash fla file that contains a whole lot of images. The majority of each image is composed of transparent pixels with a visual object in there somewhere. Each image at the moment is at {x:0, y:0}.I want to trim away the transparent pixels of the image down to a minimum bounding box, but keep the object at the same global position. This requires shifting the trimmed image to the global position of the object in the untrimmed image.This is not so much a problem, but the fact that the images are all contained in a fla is the problem. The options I see at the moment are:
investigate JSFL, the Bitmap object has a getPixels, this in combination with a selection and delete operation could work save the fla to xfl and enumerate the images and associated xml with something like Ruby + image processing lib
Questions: Does anyone know upfront if this operation is possible in JSFL? Have anyone done much automated processing of xfl files? Is there an off the shelf image processor that can perform this trimming operation?
create a function in my program which trims away all the extra heading and trailing spaces in my input text field. I've just begun to learn actionscripting not long ago so I am not really proficient in it yet.

how to convert a decimal value to a hexadecimal with actionscript...
I want to make a funtion which will assign a random color to a movieclip... And the "set rgb" function requires the variable passed to be in hex. Bummer.
Also I could solve this problem if I could convert a string to a hex number insted of a decimal like with parseInt()
I think the solution may lie within the bitwise operators >> and <<, etc,... But I have no clue as to their use...
