I am in the process of making an animation that takes text from an XML document and displays it in a scrollPane. I had this working when I was just using string variables. Now with XML it seems to ignore the new line characters. I have looked all over but nothing is working. Now that I think about it, special cahracters like "%3C" are not working.

I've created a quiz in flash that reads in questions and answers from an external xml file. E.g (xml).
<question q="allons-nous? = are we going/do we go?"
ans_a="allons-nous?"
right="a">
I have been asked to develop the quiz further so it ignores the case the answer is typed in (which I guess is possible using toLowerCase) and also to ignore any ! or ? symbols the user might type in .I assume the only way to accomplish this is to check the answer against a range of possible answers in the XML eg.
<question q="allons-nous? = are we going/do we go?"
ans_a="allons-nous?"
ans_b="allons-nous"
right="a",right="b">//this lines probably wrong
Does anyone know if there is any way of getting flash to ignore symbols if they are typed in?
I have checked out this tutorial and have created my own version of this but is there any way of ignoring the character case. i.e if i searched for "happy new year" it would display results including "Happy new year"
View 1 RepliesI need to replace multiple contiguous new line/line feed characters in flex with a single new line character.
Example:
The string
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Should be converted to
"My name is blah blah
My name is blah
"
Hope the example makes it easier to understand.
I am using a component to render it.
I guess using regex would be the easiest way to do this, but still it would be great if people can point me out to references/examples to get this done with ease.
I am using flex 4.5.

View 1 RepliesI am making some string variables to use in an animation. Another person in the office has has written all of the text using Word. Some of these strings have up to 50 lines and each new line has some sort of special character in there which creates an arror in AS. I can manually go through and place the cursor at the end of the line at that point, hit delete and then type in " ". This eliminates the error but I have a lot of these strings, days of work. I have not been able do a simple find and replace. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way to use notepad++?

I know this doesn't work. What is the right syntax?
I have a text field that has 2 lines for visible text. I then pass it a string to display but the string might be to long to display all of the string. My problem is that I want to count how many characters that are NOT visible in the text field. The text field has to stay the fixed size and cannot change

View 3 Replies1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this.

I used the fscommand("fullscreen",true) in my application to make it fullscreen. However when the user presses the Escape key, the window goes into the normal view. Is there any way of disabling the Escape key to make my movie in fullscreen all the time? and the only way to quit the movie is my clicking the label I created 'Exit' with the AS command fscommand("quit");

View 1 RepliesIs there some library for flex, that will let me: define properties to fully exclude from serialization define classes to serialize without the property names (as if they were an array)
View 1 RepliesFor example there are 2 movieclips on the stage, Parent and Child. I want to be able to drag the parent clip around with the MouseDown event.I also want an event to fire on the MouseClick event on the Child clip. But i only want this MouseClick to happen the user clicks on the Child clip, and not when the MouseUp event fires after the user has finished dragging?Is there something that defines where the mouseup has originated in the Childs MouseClick event handler?
View 2 RepliesMy flash client connects to my server (running locally). Some of the files that it requests are requested over SSL.The certificate is signed for "localhost".I originally got around the "un-trusted certificate" error by adding my localhost certificate to my Windows trusted root store. But now I'm stuck.To allow me to test my SWF on different computers on the same network, I've changed the string "localhost" to my computer's IP address.However, now when I try to load the file through https, flash detects that "192.168.1.68" is actually "localhost" and thinks we're being MITM'd.Now, considering I develop on my laptop and the laptop interchanges between atleast 2 different wireless routers a day - usually 5 or 6 - you can imagine my IP changes rather a lot. This means it's not really feesable to re-create certificates over and over again.

View 1 RepliesI have a solid movie clip that is overlayed with a grid movie clip. Actually they are sprites. The solid sprite underneath has a MOUSE_OVER event. I have set mouseChildren and mouseEnabled on the grid sprite to false so that it receives no events. The problem is that when I go over a grid line the sprite underneate still receives the MOUSE_OUT and then the MOUSE_OVER event again. Is there anyway to make the grid completely transparent to the mouse so that it won't trigger the MOUSE_OUT and MOUSE_OVEr events for the sprite underneath over and over?

View 1 RepliesI have a sprite containing a 3x3 grid of boxes. I have a rollover event attached to the container sprite, but I only want it to fire off when I go over some of the boxes, not all. I've tried using mouseEnable = false and mouseChildren = false on the relevant boxes within the sprite, but when the cursor rolls over ANY boxes within the container sprite it fires off the event, not just the ones I want to be activated.How can I get the mouse to ignore certain children within the container sprite, without actually taking them out of the sprite?

I have a java class which has one field with getter and setter, and a second pair of getter and setter that access this field in another way:
public class NullAbleId {
private static final int NULL_ID = -1;
private int internalId;
[Code]....
(the reason for this construction is that I want to build a way to hande Nullable Intergers)
On the Flash/Flex client side, I have a Class with two properties: id and internalId (the id properties are only for testing, at the end they should return the internalId value)
BlazeDS seams to transfer both values: id and internalId, because both have a complete getter setter pair. I want Blaze not to transfer id, only internalId should be transferred.
I have a BitmapData object with transparency (the sourceBitmapData parameter). Every time I use copyPixels() to copy it onto another BitmapData object the transparent pixels replace whatever is beneath them. I would like the copyPixels() function to simply ignore these fully transparent pixels (0x00) and NOT copy themBTW, I've tried setting the alphaMerge to true but that doesn't solve the issue - the whole source object just goes black and ignores ALL transparency.EDIT:
Here are the code snippets;
