ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove "" Double Quotes From String
Apr 16, 2008
I'm bringing in data from .csv file as a string and then slicing it up into and array so I can apply the values to some text fields. For whatever reason it is starting and ending the string with which as we know is the new line character in as3, I would like to remove these from the string but I'm not really sure what the code is to target them. So far I have figured out the code to remove the instances I was getting of double double quotes by doing this: (this is written in Flex btw)

I've written some code that takes user input and adds it to some other static text which is then sent to php to be written to a text file. The file is just plain text but has the .xml extension so it can be used as a source of data. Because of the XML content the text has to contain quotes so I am looking for ways to escape the double quote characters with " or using the alternative method of using a mixture of double and single quotes to differentiate content I want in the text file and the quotes that define the boundary of the text string. The code is working but the resultant XML looks wrong, with double quotes being written as " even though I used the double/single quote method, so I'm a bit baffled why this is happening. Here's my code:
[Code]...
All the double quotes are being written as " which is the escape character instead of the actual character - anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

I've got some text coming in from a database. I get:
' " " instead of single and double quotes.
I'm not sure that all fonts even support left and right double quotation marks (?).
at any rate... is there a relatively simple way to resolve this? maybe scanning the strings for the character entities and replacing them with single or double quotes?
does anyone know if Flash can recognize the ASCII entity number (e.g. ') more readily than the ASCII entity name (e.g. &rsquo?? That may be a moot point as i would have to somehow convert/replace with the entity number anyways..

I'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:

When using SOAP web services in Flash Builder, I am able to use the web services tool and test making service calls without any issue.I can pass strings that contain spaces, double and single quotes with great success. when I write code to send a string containing spaces or quotes, the web service doesn't return a success response.If I remove the quotes and/or spaces, success.I've tried wrapping the string in tags, but I don't know what else to do.

I have a string in a variable called lets say "mcName". I want to loop through and remove all the numbers in it. there is always a number at the end but it could be 1, 2 or 3 digits long so i can't just slice the last letter.

I'm trying to strip the name of a movieclip to just the number so that I can use it as a parameter in a function. The name of the movieclip is mcThumb6 and there are 8 different clips that are numbered 1 - 8. I'm trying to use the .split method to remove the mcThumb and just have the "6" remain. The movieclips all have rollover functions. The rollover event strips out the string and then will call a function using the number (based on which movieclip was rolled over). This is working except when I trace out the new value it adds a comma in front of the number -- i.e. the output looks like this: ,6 instead of just 6.Does anyone know where this comma is coming from?
The code:
mcNav.mcThumb6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, thumbOver);
function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent):void

I have used flashvars to send a URL query string to my movie, though I need to filter the string to remove one of the variables.For instance, I am trying to remove 'var2' from: var1=aaa&var2=bbb&var3=ccc..However, the query string is not the same every time. For instance, sometimes 'var1' may equal 'aad', 'var3' may equal '183', etc.So basically what I need to do is, regardless of what is contained in the string, always filter out 'var2'.

I have to send a string from flash and I need to format it correctly. I'm going to use the restrict property too. Heres what I'm looking to achieve.
1. Remove and commas
2. If there are more than 2 characters after the period, round it the nearest number. Im guess for a minute you have to turn the string into a number then back to a string when processed.
ActionScript Code:
var badStr1:String = '1,000,000';
var badStr2:String = '1,000.98965';

I have a multiline textfield were users can type text. I split the text in words so I can compair them to see if they are a certain word. Some words don't pass the if statment even if they are the same (at leased to me). I found out it's because these words have a hard return in front of them. I need to remove the hard return, but I can't find out how. I tried to split the string on " ", but that doesn't work.

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.
