I have an array of characters that for some reason is adding commas in between all it's characters.So if:
array[0] = undefined;
array[1] = "b";
array[2] = "a";
[code]....
I have a string of 0:'000000' named stringtest I need to replace the 0 at the position x with 1. My code in flixel(a free library to create games)
Code: Select allif (FlxG.keys.justPressed("X"))
{
stringtest=stringtest.replace(stringtest.substring(1,2), '1');
}
it doesn;t replace the second 0 with 1., but it replaces the first one. However if the initial sting is 'let's go' if I press x the letter e is replaced with 1. if the string is 'eet's go' if i press x the first e is replaced with 1 and if i press x again the second letter e is replaced.
I am making a drag and drop type of quiz. The text is loaded from an XML file. I am looking for a way to "detect" a blank in the text which represents the point in the sentence where a word needs to be filled in. And then that point needs to be represented by a movieclip or sprite or something that will hold text from the word that is dropped onto it (it will need to be draggable in case the user changes thier mind).
View 1 RepliesI 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.
I've got a strange situation where I'm replacing the text in a string that I've taken from an XML, but the .replace function for the string keeps failing. I've tried running the example given on the Adobe site, so I know the value I'm trying to replace ("%20") isn't at fault - it's something about the string I have! I've included the code below, but it seems correct. Is there a particular tip I should know when taking XML values into AS3? I'm putting them in strings for this project.

I'm having some real trouble getting .replace to actually replace something. Here's my code...
[Code]...
I can trace both newFiles[i] and keywords[i][whatever], but the replace doesn't replace anything. The regex is valid as well. I'm using regexr to test it, and it works perfectly there... but will not for me and I don't know why.
Does anyone know the regular expression to test if a single string character has both upper and lower case character?
eg. All A-Z and a-z.
Trying to replace a portion of a string with a "-" if it matches a string variable in AS3.
var re:RegExp = new RegExp(imageArray[j][1],"gi"); trace(imageArray[jTemp][2].replace(re,"-"));
imageArray[jTemp][2] is a string imageArray[j][1] is a string as well I'm not getting the result I expect. I would like trace above to return 'permanentContainer-' Here are the traces for the above variables
permanentContainer-temporaryContainer- temporaryContainer

View 1 Repliesi've encountered this several times and wondering if there's a solution beyond actually changing the database field values...The problem is that i have string values being pushed to flash (via xml) with html character codes in them like:
"natronp&apos:s funland"
when ideally, i would get:
"natronp's funland"
Anyway to replace these in flash that i've missed? Otherwise it seems i would need a pretty heavy-duty find/replace actionscript script/class to make this happen!
I would like to replace the ":" for text_field_1 Instead, @ should show up when somebody hits :
Any ideas how to do that in as2?
Maybe something like: if text_field_1 is focused && somebody hits : add an @*to the existing text in field 1.
Or make a loop looks for : in text_field_1 and when it finds one it replaces it with @
But i have no idea how to do that in as2
I'm trying to work with RegEx to split a large string into smaller sections, and as part of this I'm trying to replace all instances of a substring in this larger string. I've been trying to use the replace function but this only replaces the first instance of the substring. How can I replace al instances of the substring within the larger string?

First question is why my flash function always replace only first url? What I'm trying to do is send string from flash input textfield by PHP to mySQL table. Then, when flash will load it again all urls in my flash textfield will be clickable.Of course I can use preg_replace in PHP:
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$comments = preg_replace("/([^w/])(www.[a-z0-9-]+.[a-z0-9-]+)/i", "$1http://$2", $comments);[code]....
I can also use some PHP function which will check whether sended data from flash already contains clickable url's, but if I need add another link in edited string, preg_replace not fire then...

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.

I'm trying to basically search a text string and then replace it with a movie that I have in my library so I plan on using attachMovie and then do some tweening to it later. The part I'm struggling with now however is the actual adding the movie after it finds the string. Here is what I have:
Code:
var check_text;
check_text = "This is some text and it is nice in <bullet>Spain!";[code]...
The output is: "This is some text and it is nice in _level0.arrow_movSpain!". Anyway to replace text like that with an actual movie and have it output the movie?
