View 2 RepliesI have made this converter and it stops working when the user presses enter, as the new line corrupts the data. So i thought, i'll just remove the new lines every time the user presses enter. But apparently i can't access the '' character using string search functions or regular expressions.I try to execute the code in the Change event of input_TF.text
ActionScript Code:
trace(input_TF.indexOf("
"))//always -1

if i have this, for example:<font color="#9378FE" size="28">LOREM DOLOR IPSUM SIT AMET</font>how do i remove any occurence of html tags?so that i am only left with:LOREM DOLOR IPSUM SIT AMET
View 5 RepliesI'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'm currently searching google whilst I ask this - I just couldn't find anything on my initial searches.Are there any quick ways to remove all non-numeric characters from a string?For example my string would contain:
'code: 1234'
I would wish to remove the 'code: ' part from the string just leaving '1234'.
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 am currently generating some text via actionscript and i need to create a new line but dont know hoe to in as3, i tried the below without successActionScript Code:backwins.text = "Welcome Back " + usernme + newline + " Your Total Amount Of Wins Is: ";
View 3 RepliesIn the script, sometimes a newline is added in the beginning of the text field (am using a textArea in adobe flex 3), and later on that newline might need to be removed. I was wondering how to check if there is a newline at the beginning of the text field and then how to remove it.
View 1 RepliesI want to add a newline to a string text and I was wondering if there is a newline constant in actionscript 3? For example in .net there is an Environment.NewLine that is a string, containing "
" for non-Unix platforms, or a string containing "
" for Unix platforms.
What I am trying to do is take a string of numbers and convert it into an array, while cutting out the non-digits. Here is the format:1.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+000 1.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+0001.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+000So it's basically: Space, Space, Digit, Space, Space, Digit, NewlineRight now I am using the following code (myString is a String, and dataSet1 is an Array):
var reg:RegExp = new RegExp("
");
myString = textLoader.data;dataSet1 = myString.split(reg);

I 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.
I need a regexp to remove all all type of empty characters from a string and just leave numbers so for example: myString = " 1 "; to return "1"

View 4 RepliesSo I have a flashobject which I need to pass a formatted DateTime string to.
My code:
string date = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
which outputs as: 2009-09-16 22:26:45
However when it is actually output to HTML and swfobject it renders it as:
so.addVariable("inNowDate","2009-09-16+22%3a25%3a13");
I think this is messing up a calculation that the flash object does based off the current time. Do I need to encode or decode this?

This works fine but when I upload to my clients server the url might be somewhat different. Is there a way to split off the last 14 characters and see if they = slideShow2.swf or is there a command if the string contains "slideShow2.swf".
What i'm trying to do is to first of all remove all special characters from a hard coded tweet. What I want to do after is to convert each letter into a specific tone, using MML (Music Macro Language).When i play the tweet via the sound library sion after my attempted replacing i only get five tones through. What am I doing wrong? I'm guessing it's simple, but I don't know anything.I'm coding Actionscript 3 in FDT, which is all very new to me, as is regexp.
public function translateTweet() {
var myPattern:RegExp = /[~%&\;:"',<>?#]+/g;
var tweet : String = "@cupofjoakim AN EXAMPLE string! :D #hi11expo";[code].......
I am trying to count the characters in a string.
ActionScript Code:
D4_frame_txt.text=xmlList[j].toString();
D4_frame_txt.maxChars=400;
[Code].....
I get no compiler error message but the count doesnt seem to work. Never overflow.
Lets say that I have the following strings:
ActionScript Code:
var string1:String="Jeep Wrangler - Red";
var string1:String="Jeep Liberty - Green";
var string1:String="Jeep Patriot - Yellow";
var string1:String="Jeep Compass - Black";
For each string, I want to create a function that removes the text to the right of the "-" character so the strings return as:
ActionScript Code:
var string1:String="Jeep Wrangler ";
var string1:String="Jeep Liberty ";[code].....
just having some troubles with a string i'm trying to have a string where it will recognise the characters in it...and then i want to have a keylistener if those keys are pressed in that sequence do something...

View 2 RepliesIs there a max length (number of characters)?
Working with JSON and some command strings I am building are getting lengthy.
what I need is simple thing, I have string which cantains data - time retrived from mySQL in mySQL format HH:MM:SS YY-MM-DD what I need is to split this string in actionscript to array of numbers like this
HH
MM
SS
YY
MM
DD
so I can compare it with current time, how to splite using multiple delimiters at first, then compare it with current time. this is my work until now
var param:Array = datetime.split(" :-");
var currentTime:Date = new Date();
var seconds:uint = currentTime.getSeconds();
var minutes:uint = currentTime.getMinutes();

How can I check if a string has any other character than the ones listed here: [URL]
I would like to know if the string was inputted in any other language than English. Is finding special characters in the string the best way to detect non-english characters?
I'm new to actionscript and i cant seem to get the regex syntax right in actionscript3. The task is straight forward, i want to make sure that the first two characters in a given string are alphabets and nothing else.[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to know if is possibile through regularexpression, count the numbers contained into a string and add a specified character near it.
For exemple, this is a string: Hello2all821abc13 This string contain 3 numbers: 2, 821 and 13 (note that the numbers contained into 821 and 13 are considered like an unique entity, not signle). I want to add near each of it the "-" symbol. Is it possible?
I have a flash app that I would like to listen for a string of characters being typed on a keyboard. If a user typed in apple as an example that would either be correct or incorrect, and if they typed it in uppercase or lowercase or upper and lower it would still equate to true. Here is the tricky part, the string is not being typed into a textfield or anything like that, it must just be typed and after flash sees the correct keys pressed in the correct sequence it will fire a function.
I have seen this done before in a situation where a website had a background administration application, and when browsing the site you could just type admin, and a window would pop up asking for a username and password, so that is almost exactly what I want. Because of this I figured I would try to replicate the admin application first as it should be simpler
This is what I have thus far
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keysPressed);
var keyCatcher:Array=new Array(); var keyCatchNew:String;
function keysPressed(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(e.charCode==65 || e.charCode==68 || e.charCode==77 || e.charCode==73 || e.charCode==78 || e.charCode==97 || e.charCode==100 || e.charCode==109 || e.charCode==105 || e.charCode==110){
keyCatcher.push(String.fromCharCode(e.charCode));

Checked google, but only found some outdated,homemade functions. Is there no other way to Find char in a string and replace it? the shortest function i found was about 30 Lines long.
