ActionScript :: Date Formatting (String Data Type)

Nov 16, 2010

I take a date (as a string data type) from the user. Now, I want to know if there is a a function in actionscript that will convert it to a date format. Right now, I am just parsing the string and concatenating the pieces back together. i.e.:

changeDateString = date.getFullYear().toString() + '/' + (date.getMonth()+1).toString() + '/' + date.getDate();

But for months like May, it will return "5" and not "05". I have similar problems for days like "9" or "7." Is there something in the library that will do this for me? (For the moment, I can go ahead and manually concatenate the "0" in front, but this seems like a hassle to do.)

I have a TextInput for a user to enter their Date of Birth. Right now they just enter a string of numbers and I parse it for the correct values but this can be very inefficient. What I am looking to do is have the TextInput automatically formatted to look --/--/---- so the user can click in it and fill in the '-' fields while leaving the '/' for formatting purposes. Does anyone know of a good way to do this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Grabbing / Formatting A String?

Jun 27, 2009

grabbing / formating a string.My mission is connecting to a web site - let's say domain.com/one.html - which returns the following html code:

Code:

<HTML><meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"></head><body>1,1,4,20,1,128,Harry J. All Stars - The Liquidator</body></html>

What I am looking for is a actionscript function which returns the text after the 6th comma - in this case:

Harry J. All Stars - The Liquidator

The thing is: The numbers are always different, but the text I want to "grab" and "show" in mytext.text (dynamic text) is ALWAYS present after the 6th comma.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Converting String With Formatting To Integer?

Jan 27, 2009

I'm currently trying to convert a string that I get from a text box to an integer. Seems simple enough, but the string's got a pile of formatting on it.

This is the string (named answer):

Code:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Snap ITC" SIZE="20" COLOR="#FF0000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">80</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>

As you can see, I want the 80 from that.

After a lot of tinkering around, I used the following to get the number out:

Code:
trace(parseInt(_root.answer.substring(120)));

Reason I used this is because I knew that the formatting would stay the same so I can slice off the same amount each time.

What I'm wondering is, is there a more elegant method of getting the entry that I want out of that mess of formatting? If not, then is there a way I can minimize the formatting?

Note: I'm using Adobe Flash CS4, with ActionScript 2.0.

ActionScript 3.0 :: String Function Removes Formatting?

Sep 6, 2011

ok so i have this function basically it adds text to a given position in a textfield. it adds the text in the correct position but the problem is that it is screwing with the formatting i've applied to the textfield.

here is my code:

ActionScript Code:
txt.text = "hello world";
// adds text at the character index specified and returns the new string.
function addText(txt:TextField, txtToAdd:String, index:Number):String{

[Code].....

i also have a function which deletes but that isn't important right now. i was trying to avoid using html text but at this point i'd willing to give virtually anything a try.

Actionscript 3 :: Parsing The XML To Print A String With Formatting Attributes Per Word

Sep 27, 2011

I have an XML which contains a field of the type:

<mytext><![CDATA[ My name is <color value="FF0000">Bill</color>. ]]></mytext>

I wonder if there is a simple methodology (using E4X methods) in order to print the inner text: "My name is Bill." in a text area and having the word "Bill" colored i.e. red.

The generalized situation is, if i can print the inner text and use XML tags to specify formatting attributes of the text per word.

Do E4X supports this type of parsing, or do I have to program my own "little" parser for this situation?
