ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Regex Match On HTML Code That Is Parsed Into A Text Box In Flash
Mar 7, 2011
I am trying to get a regex match on HTML code that is parsed into a text box in flash. I have successfully loaded the HTML code and then began the regex matching, but am stuck on getting the right regex expression to match. The code that I am using in html page builds a tree view list on the html page, so once it's loaded into the flash text box, i am trying to match the html pages to build a list from. The code below is what I am trying to match. The code I want to match is the first two items in quotes for each entry to build the array list of page names, and their URL. The problem is that the pages won't be named as nice as the example below. Each time it can be a different page name, and page url, so I need to match what is in the first two quotes.[code]

give me the Regular Expression that can check if a given string has any HTML code in it, and coming to think of it I would be bothered with <a href="something">something</a> exactly.
and want everything between the ( and the %)the string looks like this: (-24%)I now get a return back "(-24" and have searched for a long time to find a solution but didn't find any.
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?
I have the following regex, which will match all the <br> and <br /> tags in a string:
/<br[s|/]*>/gi
I actually want to match every set of two consecutive tags, with valid matches being:
<br><br> <br/><br> <br><br/> <br/><br/> (and all variations with a space before the slash)
Obviously I can just double up the expression to /<br[s|/]*><br[s|/]*>/gi, but is there a shorter way of taking the first expression and saying "this, but twice"?
I've gotten stuck on some issue using AS3 and RegEx. I'm trying to use a RegEx var to match out the ends of a mathematical expressions out of a string. But for some reason, the RegEx only matches the first expression and ignores the one after the conditional.
I am not new to regex but have come across a problem I can't seem to solve. I'm trying to locate a specific HTML tag that has a specific attribute/value pair (it may have other attributes, too, but those are optional), extract it's contents as a backreference and wrap a new custom tag around it. The original tag is:
I've been struggling with this problem for a while:I have a string containing HTML and I'm using a regular expression to get the characters between the tags. I'm then attempting to apply a TextFormat to those characters.The problem is that I'm using the TextField's "htmlText" property instead of it's "text" property (because I don't want the HTML tags to be visible). So, the character index that's returned from the regular expression is incorrect, when I apply the TextFormat.Here is some sample code which illustrates the problem:
var txt:String = "<b>Sample</b> string with bold text"; var tf:TextField = new TextField(); addChild(tf);
I am trying to create a flash text field which is html formatted using the code to link to a text file already containing html formatted text. Both these files have been saved in the same folder on my hard drive.Having created a text field on my stage (on one layer) with an instance name of myText_txt I have entered this into the actionscript (on the layer above):[code]I have tryed moving both files to the desktop but this hasnt worked.
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 to remove all flash objects from html with regex , code needed at c#.Regex will remove all html objects from html so there will be no flash based objects at results
I want to create a flash file containing some text given by HTML code. For example like this:[code]But i don't have such swf file. So how can i make an swf file like that? Is there any program for it? Or is there already an swf file for that?
I have created an AS3 FLA where I am parsing and displaying RSS text. I have traced the parsed text and displayed the text into dynamic text boxes on the stage no problem. However the line breaks in the traced text show up on stage as well. How does one strip out the <p> or </r> tags from the text to make the text one nice long line that will wrap using the length of the text box as it's parameters?
Is there a way to make a url clickable from a parsed xml file? I pull in an xml file from the php script and then display the data in a dynamic text field. I want to have the hyperlinks be about the be linked.[code]...
I am using a regular expression to find links in a generic string and highlight that text(underline, a href, anything).Here's what I have so far:
var linkRegEx:RegExp = new RegExp("(https?://)?(www\.)?([a-zA-Z0-9_%]*)\b\.[a-z]{2,4}(\.[a-z]{2})?((/[a-zA-Z0-9_%]*)+)?(\.[a-z]*)?(:\d{1,5})?","g"); var link:String = 'generic links: www.google.com http://www.yahoo.com stackoverflow.com';
I've got my XML file loaded and parsing correctly with a trace statement.
I want to have each text identified as marketLocation1, marketLocation2, etc up to 150 and I wanted to use a 'for loop' to place the value of that XML node into each labeled text field, and each individual text field is buried inside a button so that the button displays on mouseover an associated XML fields data. Each button would also be corresponding labeled market_1, market_2, etc.
Meaning, I mouse over a dot on a map (button) and it pulls up a statistics balloon about that location specific to our companies needs. I'm a total AS3 noob, so I'm not sure if I can preload the data for that button into it's specific text fields.
I have markets divided up into regions. I have the base map, which when you click each region goes to a new labeled scene on the root timeline. The scene shows a closeup version of the region. On that region are the dots for the markets. Each dot would have an up state and over state (displaying the pop-up balloon with data) etc.
I'm working on the first 'button' as the initial test and what I want to do is make is that i can use a For loop to cut down on the code, using the variable i in place of the "1,2,3..."
The first button, market_1 is in a labeled scene SERegion on the main timeline. While the code I'm using to parse all the fields is in frame 1.
When I try to place the value of marketLocation located inside the button market_1, I am trying to do this when I parse the data
When i compile, i get the error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property marketLocation through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton
MarketLocation is also in just the Over state of the button.
For example there are some html tags <div id="test"><div><div>testtest</div></div></div></div></div></div> From that html, I need to get this <div id="test"><div><div>testtest</div></div></div> Current regex /<div id="test">.*(</div>){3}/gim
I have an input text field beneath a video and I want to put some html code in the input text field so that a viewer can select that text and put the embed code on their site (similar to youtube). The problem is that I want the input text field to be a certain width and the length of the code snippet exceeds that length. Is there a way to do it so that the part of the code that goes past the length of what I want my input text field to be is cropped, but is still selectable by the user? I've seen this done with html form fields, but not flash.
I have piece of ActionScript code which is supposed to evaluate a string of HTML and break it up into individual pieces. So a string like <p>Hi</p><span>Hi</span><a href="index.php">Hi</a> would be translated into:
However, when I run a test version of this code, I get a value of null in return. I'm pretty sure my regexp string is good, but I'm doing something wrong in ActionScript. My code is below: var evaluatedInput:RegExp = new RegExp('/<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)[^>]*>(.*?)</1>/'); var output:Object = evaluatedInput.exec("<p>Hi</p><span>Hi</span><a href="index.php">Hi</a>"); trace(output);
So I published my Flash Movie using the HTML settings of Match Movie Size, rather than Fit To Screen (fit to percent, I believe it is) under the publish settings options. This way it works great, but there is no scrollbar on the browser. So my stage size is pretty big, lets pretend its 1200x1200 lol. So, now I want every monitor in the world to be able to see the entire page. I do not want it to fit to their screen, but I want them to be able to scroll down using their browsers scrollbar rather than a scrollbar within the SWF itself.
So imagine you are on a 15 inch monitor, and you are browsing my 1200x1200 HTML page, calling the SWF. You need to be able to scroll down to see the bottom, and scroll right to see the right side. Why is the browser scrollbar not appearing? Is there anything I must do?
I have to validate a textfield in AS3 if there are chars like # $ % @ ~ | {} [] / etc. i.e find unnecessary chars and remove them from the textfield. I use a search AS3 function which works with regular expressions, I would like a regular expression so that a search function searches the characters above and if it finds any of them then returns true.
I have a flash file which loads data from JSON and parses it. It works fine expect on one machine (specs below). On that machine it loads an image URL specified in the JSON, but nothing else. I've tested with a other machines (Dell E6400, Apple MacBook Pro) and it works just fine in all browsers. I compared Windows Updates between the Dell E6400 and the Dell Optiplex 745 and they only differ by one update (KB2525694) which isn't applicable for my Dell E6400.
I have a list of items in XML that populate dynamic text boxes using the code below. I basically reference an attribute in the XML element to a specific instance name on a text box.
This works great for a few items, but I need to do this for several hundred, perhaps a thousand, items in an XML. Rather than copy & paste my code for each item and call out each specific text box and attribute value, is it possible to modify this code to match an instance name to the XML attribute value? In other words, one set of code that says "if the text box instance name is "x," provide the price of "x" from XML, but if the name is "y," provide the price of "y."
I have a paragraph of text on the stage that looks good (Helvetica Neue, Ultralight), but when I play the movie it looks much thinner and really bad. Why does the text on the stage not match the movie?
the preloader bar doesn't reach its maximum size while the text goes from 0% to 100% correctly (when it says 100% the bar is still at 20 or 30 percent of its original size).[URL]This is my website, with the preloader at the beginning: [URL]
