using AS2 how can I count the number of commas in a string ?The string is imported dynamically and then held in a dynamic text box (called "coolBox).
View 3 RepliesI have a problem with a function that inserts commas into a string... and then I want a textfield to reflect this string. The function is as follows:

I have been scripting this flash profile card which pulls data from multiple XML files. The problem i am having is when it comes down to pulling this 1 set of information which is accessing the attributes of an array of specific XML nodes on display after the first item it inputs a comma before each item.
My code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
xmlData = new XML ();xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;xmlData.load ("../xml profiles/test.xml");
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
function loadXML (loaded){if (loaded){ xmlNode = this.firstChild;

This is just a draft version of the layout i used to pull up fake data... to show the commas.Lastly i am wondering if it is possible to control the 3 text fields using 1 scroll bar or would i be better off learning how to create columns in 1 text field to display these lists.
if I read a string from an external file, for example "51,42,7"
how would I break apart the string into a bunch of values?
I'm trying to find if a text field with text seperated by commas contains certain text.
if (myText.text == "three") {
trace("true"); //if myTxt.text is "three"
} else {
trace("false"); //if myTxt.text is "one, two, three"
}
Is there a way to find in the above example, if "three" is contained within the text field?
When I am loading external UTF-8 text files (or texts from an mySQL DB) with Flash, if those files contains enters (by the user that create them) I noticed that those enters are replaced by two char codes: 10 and 13 (new line feed + carriage return). If I put the loaded string to a TextField.htmlText I get 2 enters pressed, and thus instead of having 1 line change I got 1 paragraph change.

View 5 RepliesLets 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:

var string1:String="Jeep Wrangler ";
var string1:String="Jeep Liberty ";[code].....
I have a time format like so: 00:00:00.00 (hours, minutes, seconds, millieseconds). This is stored into a string called adminTime.
But I need to make it so that the string takes what ever the time is and changes it to 00:00 (hours and minutes)
So basically a way of looping though the string and removing the seonds and milleseconds.

I 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("

I'm creating a fill-in-the-blank quiz in AS 2.0 and would like to make the comparison between the correct and submitted answer a little less harsh during the comparison. The quiz actually consists of memorizing a sentence or two from say a poem and I'd like to not include any errors of punctuation due to a misplaced or missed comma, exclamation pt or period. as long as the spelling is good then the user should get the correct answer. Below is a little snippet:

But how do I add the comma to make numbers format to 100000 to 100,000 to 1,000,000? I've checked out other threads, but its still not working.
Hmmm... ohrite here we go. Im makin a template thats gona be used on ebay so I am trying to have all the data loaded from the single XML document.

I'm generating an array from a string, then place the item to a text field.It works OK if there is no commas, if an item has commas, then the item is considered as multiple items. How can I have ?For example if the string is like the one below (with | as the delimiter):
C1_3_ans = "item 1|item 2|item 3, with some commas, here"
var errorSelected:Array = C1_3_ans.split("|");
errorSelected would be come [item 1,item 2,item 3, with some commas, here] instead of 3 items, it becomes 5 items.How can I keep the 3rd part of the text as one item?
I have a variable that looks like this:
"one, two, three, end"
I want to split each value within the commas and sort it on multiple lines in a list component field. [code]...
So I have a project where the user puts in a number, that number is * by a certain number and then spits that number back out to another dynamic textField. All of that is working out great so far. Now I need to figure out a way to add commas to those numbers that I am displaying.
Here is the code I have thus far:
var num1:Number;
var inputFont:Gotham = new Gotham();
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
[Code].....
User would type in the input 1000 or 5000000 and the immediately have commas added resulting in 1,000 and 5,000,000
I would think it would also need to ignore / remove any commas the user has put in to prevent any errors. The final number is being processed as part of a calculator.
I'm working on an energy calculator for an energy efficient lighting firm, which I've attached. How would I put commas into the results in the 'total wattage', 'total cost' etc., boxes?
View 6 RepliesI'm using as2 to place a text field with embedded fonts, whose content is coming in from xml inside of a cdata tag.When I publish the movie, all is well.When I upload the movie online, the commas in the text field appear backwards and the emdash is missing.The fonts otherwise appear to be embedded properly - it's displaying with the fonts I intended it to.Not sure why just these characters are changing online, but appear properly in the flash environment when I publish the movie?
View 5 RepliesI need to format numbers with commas as thousand separators, for example:

Ok, I have looked around and I know that this question has been asked many times but I still dont understand. I am developing an ROI calculator and need to acomplish two things, i think one will fix the other but here goes. 1. I need to make sure that when a user inputs their number in the input text field if they us a comma I dont get the NaN as a return. 2. How can I incorporate commas into the final calculation answer. For example if they enter 10000 my net result currently comes back as 105600. I would like it to come back as 105,600. I dont necessarly need to format as currency to make this work.
I am using CS5 and AS3 for the coding on this. I am not very expierenced in coding in Flash, as a matter of fact the fact that I have made it this far is amazing.

function formatNumbers(num:Number, comma:Boolean):String {

I have a large flashvars string that I'm splitting into a 2d Array when it's pulled in flash. The problem I'm having is that one of the items of the inner array needs to be able to contain commas. The commas are encoded using php urlencode. I took the entire string printed on the web page and put it in a local var so I could test locally (by that i just mean without having to upload it to the server). So locally everything works fine, but when I upload it and use the real flashvars data, anything containing a comma and anything after that item, comes back as undefined.Here's an example of what part of the string in flashvars looks like. It would represent one item in the outer array.
"15;nameofstore;nameofstore;C32;;nameofstore%2C+Inc.+is+the+nation%27s +largest+
department+store+company+and+strives+to+be+the+department+store+of+cho ice+in+

I need to load in a large CSV file (>1MB) and parse it. Generally this is quite easy to do by splitting first on linebreaks and then commas. The problem is though that some entries contain Strings that include their own commas. When this spreadsheet is converted to CSV, the lines containing commas are wrapped in quotes.
I've written a parser that first escapes all the commas in these strings, then splits it on linebreaks and then commas, and then unescapes the values again.
This is quite a slow process for such a long string, as I need to iterate through the whole string. Does anyone know a faster or more optimised method of dealing with this?
I'm wondering if theres a way I can turn a variable of strings (separated by commas) into an array?I'm using the loadVars object to import variables from a text file that I'd like to import to flash as an array.For example if the variable I import from the text file looks like this:&myVar=charlie,dog,cat,test&I'd like to get it into an array in Flash like thismyArray = new Array["charlie","dog","cat","test"];
