I'm working on a flash chat and I'm having problems with Regular Expression.
In Javascript this runs ok:
[code]...
My regex pattern works for but it ignores any letters in brackets.
I have a text file that needs to be parsed correctly. The text file looks like this:
[header]
[header 2]
[ header3 ]
I can grab these headers by doing so
var expression:RegExp = /[ [a-z0-9 ]+ ]/igxm;
var items:Array = text.match(expression);
But I would also like to remove the white space from before and after the brackets, so the headers can align against the left edge. Also, for [ header3 ], I would like to remove the white space inside the brackets, before "h" and after "3". What would be the correct regex for something this?
I'm working with some Action Script file and I found this:
var pattern:RegExp = /.*//
var results:Array = pattern.exec(cardImageService.url);
I know it's a regular expression and that exec() is looking for my pattern in my string. But how should I understand this pattern?
I need to write a regex which will match URLs that do not have a specific query string name/value pair anywhere in its URL. All other query string names, and all other query string values with the same name should be matched. Other pages in the same directory (or sub-directories) should not be matched.URL...The query string name and value that I need to exclude from matches is:[code]How can I prevent matches when the string exists anywhere in the pattern?
View 3 RepliesNeed regular expression that will verify if all the letters in the word "cat" were also in the word "coating" in the proper sequence? So for the word "coating", the RegEx will test true for "cat" but false for "act".
View 2 RepliesI have to parse out color information from HTML data. The colors can either be RGB colors or file names to a swatch image. I used [URL] to develop and test the patterns. I copied the AS regular expression code verbatim from the tool into Flex Builder. But, when I exec the pattern against the string I get a null. Here are the patterns and an example of the string (I took the correct HTML tags out so the strings would show correctly):

I need a regular expression pattern for validating the following path directory:

i'm trying to search a string for a particular pattern, and replace it with elements from within the pattern... for example..here's the given string...if you want to learn how to use regexp, {url===http://somesite.com, text===click here}.
the pattern...
{url===http://somesite.com, text===replacement text}
and the intended result...
if you want to learn how to use regexp, click here.
of course, i'll extract the url and do something else with it... i'm just wondering what the regexp is for that pattern, and how i can extract things from the results returned.
I have to send information to an external vendor using their existing parameters. However, they have included brackets [] in some of their variable names. As you might expect AS3 can't resolve the variable name. Does anyone know a way around this?

I was wondering why brackets are still given in actions that dont have parameters?

They work without brackets too, dont they?Not that it makes a lot of difference, but I was just wondering
I have a form created using Flash CS3 and I want to pass the following hidden value name:

The only problem is when I publish the file I get and unexpected "]" error. How can I pass the value with the brackets?
I'm trying to do that trick where you make a variable name with square brackets. I think I don't fully understand what I'm doing though...
Code:
var cursorDirection1:Point = pt.subtract(rootpos1);
var cursorDirection2:Point = pt.subtract(rootpos2);
var farShoulder:int = 1;//1 = left 2 = right
[Code]....
I'm trying to avoid having to do a conditional to choose between cursorDirection1 or cursorDirection2. My last line there isn't working, I'm not entirely sure why. Assuming farShoulder is 1, the code should be interpreted as
Code:
cursorDirection1.normalize(findNormVar(cursorDirection1));
but I'm getting errors about the input being undefined.
I'm stuck with trying to target a movieclip dynamically from a loop. I'm using the square brackket syntax but I can't figure out why it's not working. Here's what I'm trying to do:
Code:
this.t1.t1._alpha=20;
And here's how I'm trying to do it:
Code:
this["t"+1+".t"+1]._alpha= 20;
I'm reading a book on ActionScript and I'm in the section on controlling movie clips. I'm reading about the basic methods, and I'm starting to realize I still don't fully understand the significance of square brackets.[code]Obviously, this is the prototype form of the lineStyle() method. What I don't get is why "thickness" is the only parameter without square brackets. I know that square brackets are used for retrieving data from an array or object, but either my book doesn't cover why they're used like this in a method, or I just completely blanked it out.
View 2 RepliesLet's say I have a function in a class with two required parameters and two optional:
Code:
public class Person extends Sprite {
private var haveToWork:Boolean;
private var hoursOfSleep:Number;
private var gotANewVideoGame:Boolean;
private var gotAHotDate:Boolean;
[Code] .....
All of that setup for this question: on the second call of the areYouHappy function, how do I keep the gotANewVideoGame variable from having a false value assigned to it?
I have an SWF that has a var that is a string called fullpath. Now, if fullpath was "game.item1", How would I evaluate it as _level0.game.item1 in brackets [] rather than _level0.game.item1.Basically, how would I evaluate an item path from a string with brackets []? This is AS 2
View 5 RepliesI have some classes stored in a swc which I would like to instantiate using data pulled in by xml - using a string to reference the classname.So where I would normally use
ActionScript Code:
var tagline:Sprite = new Tagline1();
I would now like to do something like
ActionScript Code:
var tagname:String = "Tagline1"; // really the string comes from XML
var tagline:Sprite = new [tagname]();
I have a vague idea this is possible using square brackets, but I don't seem to be able to find out anything about it.
Been trying to figure this out for a few but no luck. I want to just make a new node and add it to an XML structure. So I've tried things like :
Code:
var xmlNode:XMLNode = new XMLNode(1,newNodeName.text);
var xmlObj:Object = xmlNode as Object;

I have a chunk of Code which Flash confirms is without errors, but when I either compile the program or click the AutoFormat Button, Flash puts a curly bracket at the end of it and then has the audacity to complain that there are "extra Characters found at the end of the programm."I have to have this running to go online on Sunday the very latest.[code]

View 3 RepliesI have five simple equations that I need help converting to ActionScript. I'm making a small "calculator" that takes input from the user and displays a number representing the result of the equation. They're two sets of equations: 1) three-scenario fee calculator to compare the annual costs (X) of renting versus buying equipment; 2) comparison of two rental plans. The numbers entered need to stay the same - the alphabets represent what the user will input. The equations are as follows:
Scenario 1:
X = ([A � F] / G) + H + I + J + (K x 12) + ([L / N] x M)
Scenario 2:
X = ([B � F] / G) + ([E x C] / G) + H + I + J + (K x 12) + ([L / N] x M)[code]....
I've looked at my resources at hand, but my brain just shuts down when I see numbers and letters representing numbers. I do speak three languages fluently, so I (think) I make up for it.how to properly assign the correct order of events (brackets first, etc) in ActionScript to reflect the equations above.
It was hard to sum the issue so here's what I mean in the title is something like the following:
ActionScript Code:
var rX:RegExp = /^([0-9]+-[a-z]+){3,5}$/i;
trace(rX.test("1-a")); // false

I'm not getting any errors. I've been over this code again and again. I based this on an exercise from Lynda.com. The code includes listeners for mouseup but the dragged object doesn't stop dragging when at mouse-up as directed. Also, the dragged object doesn't return to original position as directed.

Today I tried to connect to other domain.I changed url of endpoint, but it looks like flex just ignores my changes.I am sure that an old url doesn't exist in any file in src directory,I even renamed services-config.xml to services-config2.xml, cleaned and rebuilded project many times, even made a release build, but it still connects to the same domain.I have tested flex application in localhost and in the same domain, that has AMF services, but it works in the same way.My services-config.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

View 2 RepliesI'm using a pretty standard sortCompareFunction in my DataGrid:
ActionScript Code:
protected function compare(valA:*, valB:*):int {
if(valA < valB) {

The trouble of course is that the compare function isn't passed any info about the column being sorted, and apparently the datagrid's click handler fires AFTER the sort is applied so that's no good either.

View 5 RepliesI am currently working on a flash presentation and I have this code to play the slides:
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.playhead = function(dir) {
this.onEnterFrame = f
[Code].....
What happens is that when I press the leftBtn or rightBtn it plays the whole presentation, ignoring the stops I put in the MC. My mc has slides every 5 frames with tweens between them.
How can I make this and have my MC stop in every slide instead of just reading all at once?
