I have been programming in actionscript for three months and I am very new to a lot of the details. I was programming in java in which there is an important difference between 'hello' and "hello". So my question is: In actionScript is it the same to use 'Hello' and "Hello". If not what are the differences?

If I remove the quot part of the title it works fine. How come? Isn't this the proper way to escape "?
I know that datagrid can detect changes of single mouse click with
//add listener
myDataGridList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, myDataGridListChange);
public function myDataGridListChange(e:Event):void{
trace(myDataGridList.selectedItem.id);
}
but can they detect double mouse click?My purpose of doing this is that, if the user double click on a datagrid row, I need it to return me value of myDataGridList.selectedItem.id, so that I'm able to continue to proceed to the next stage of my game.
I am currently trying to modify a Polaroid Flash photo gallery template. Currently it is setup so that when the user double clicks on the thumbnail, the photo enlarge, when they double click again on it, it closes it down. I'm trying to get it so that they only have to single click to close the enlarged photo down, as supposed to double click. I have found the section of code that controls this, I've tried playing with the numbers, but I still cannot get it to work:

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 have a couple of Sprites on my screen and I want to write a single event handler to handle the double click on any of those Sprites. The following approach works for every event type except DOUBLE_CLICK:

To make it work, because in my application I will have lots of Sprites. In my opinion, a single event and the target property are more efficient than hundreds of event listeners. Am I right or should add event listeners to every Sprite?

Problem: I push multiple strings into an array, and some of the strings are the same.
Code:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push (Snivvle);
myArray.push (Kirupa);
myArray.push (Snivvle);
I want to find out which element positions "Snivvle" hogs up. We can see that it would be using element 0 and 2, and if we do an "indexOf" we would only get to see element 0, and doing a "lastIndexOf" we would only see element 2. How do I find out ALL of the element positions "Snivvle" is located in, so that it returns: element 0, element 2.
Use Double Datatype in flex?
View 2 RepliesI'm tasked with updating a Flex project created by an outside contractor and in the Actionscript is the following chunk:
CONFIG::FLASH_10_1
{
//Some code here
}
I've never seen this type of structure before and I'm having a heck of a time trying to search for it on Google - I've found what it means in just about every programming language except AS3.
I created a movie clip layer with five cars in it. Each car is a separate button that when clicked plays a sound and shows an animation. If the car is clicked again, the sound and animation disappear. If another car (car B) is clicked while the first car (car A) is playing the sound/showing the animation, car A's sound and animation disappear, but it takes a second click for car B's sound/animation to play/appear.
How can I write the code so when you click on car B while car A is playing, car A's sound stops and animation disappears and car B's sound and animation play and appear right away?

Is there a way in fluorine to force a nullable double to be passed to flex as NaN? (and vice versa) By default these values are passed as null, but a Number in actionscript is not nullable, so it is converted to 0 by default. I need server side nullable doubles to be NaN in flex, and NaN values from flex to be nullable doubles on the server side.

View 1 RepliesI am currently working with a drawing tool for a mapping API, and every time I double-click the mouse a map service will perform a measurement and display the length of the line that I am drawing.
I want to mimic this double-click manually by dispatching a MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, but the map service is not listening to this default Flex event. I suspect that the API has created a custom MapMouseEvent or something like it that is being dispatched when a user double-clicks the mouse.
Is there a way to determine which event is being dispatched when I double-click the mouse?

View 1 RepliesI need to match a string that begins and ends with the same character in flex...I know the long hand way (RE being - "a[^(a")]a" | "b[^(b")b" | etc...), but I'm positive this isn't what I'm required to do (midterm tomorrow!);
I need to do this in flex, but if you can think of a short regex for it, I may be able to convert it to flex notation.
What I was thinking of was something along the lines of -
%%
int firstChar;
%x string;
%%

But this bugs me in a few ways, first, having that variable makes this not a regular language; second, I don't know if you can even use a variable to in a pattern match; and third, I don't know how NOT to match it, if it's just a normal string. And third, I don't know how to return everything that's been matched while in 'string'

I'd like to have a double click event on a datagrid in Flex3. The following example only works if the Accordion (id = "mustBeSecond") container comes after the DataGrid. Why is the order of the components important and what can I do to prevent this behavior? (The example does not work. If you change the order of "mustBeSecond" and gridReportConversions" the example works fine)
