I know how to use .restrict() to restrict or allow characters in a textfield, but how to I restrict just a double quote? "I tried with the two backslashes but that does not work.My only option seems to be to ALLOW a whole lot of character sets but leave out the double quotes. Is that truly the ONLY way?

I have a text field within Flash that contains a block of (obviously) text. What I want to do is perform a search on the content of the text field that returns the x & y coordinate and the width & height of the found text. The result will be used to place a visual element over that portion of the text box.
For example:
var pattern:RegExp = /d+/g;
var found:Array = box.text.match(pattern);
var i:String;
for each(i in found) {
/**
* Find the x, y, width, height of the matched text in the text field
* Use result to place transparent yellow box around text
*/
}
Which visually should result in something like:

Converting AS2 to AS3 , In my project I have an array that refers to a set of movieClips and textFields. I want to cycle trough the array and find out wether the string represents an movieClip or array.

I'd like to know if there is a way to reference a dynamic text box's instance name through the use of a string.I know that this["the string"] works for movieclips, but haven't had much luck with the text field.Here's a simplified snippet of code I have so far - The goal is to replace txtInstance with txtInstanceArray[k]
var txtInstanceArray:Array = ["txtInstance","txtInstance1","etc"];
var colArray:Array = ["hitsum","hitsum1","etc"];
for (var k:int = 0; k < 30; k++){

Is there any way to have a text field and a particular string in that text field work like a button. For example if I have the following text placed in a textfield via mytextfield.text =
Code:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus sed sem neque, a dapibus velit. READ MORE, id feugiat est. Quisque bibendum cursus varius.

I want to split a string into its individual characters and then put them in movieclips so that they can be individually tweened.
i was thinking i could split() the string into an array and then create an array of movieclips, each movieclip containing the corresponding letter in the split() array. would this be a good way to resemble a textfield? im looking to do something like the effect here: [URL] i just don't feel like spending $99 to get the package.
If the word "book" is part of the text entered in the text field "mytextfield" the flash should do the action "GotoAndStop(2)". I tried this, but it didn't worked.
Code:
function search() {
var box = this.mytextfield.text;
trace(box);
var str = box;
if (var location == str.indexOf("book")) {
GotoAndPlay(2) ;
}
Given an array of strings, how would i get an array of different textfield Objects, labeled with that string? WITHOUT explicitly defining every single Object. My idea was to create an array with textfield objects, and then assign the strings in a loop. But how do I create such an array?

View 3 RepliesI'm having trouble with the new keyframing model in Flash CS4.Say I have a symbol that starts here, then moves over there, then waits, then moves back over there again, etc. etc.Using the new model, all of these movements seem to be considered the same and single tween.If I apply easing, the easing affects the entire range of keyframes. This doesn't make sense? I may want the symbol to slow down when it gets "there" and have different easing for different movements. Does this make sense?
