Actionscript 3.0 :: Getting A Tally For Words That Occur Most In String
Apr 26, 2010
here's my string....
var shapeString:String = "Princess,Round,Radiant,Princess,Heart,Round,Radiant,Emerald,Radiant,Radiant,Pear";
I need to figure out how to return the the 3 items that occur most in the order of highest to lowest. In this example it would end up being.
newString = "Radient,Princess,Round";
I imagine I would use indexOf somehow but I am not going to know what pattern I am searching for in the string so it is just based on the items that end up in shapeString based on a bunch of selected elements.

For a rather complex search function I need to get the first letter of each word entered into an input field. At first glance this may not seem like a big problem if every word is neatly seperated by a space.
Although people can enter whatever they want into the field I only want to work with the words that start with a-z or A-Z.
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how I can determine if a character in the string falls into this selection. One of the possibilities is to use charCodeAt(), but that's rather rough. I can walk through the string using indexOf() but I may have trouble finding the next word if characters other than a space come into play.

Is it possible to split a string like "Lorem ispum dolor, sit amet. Howdy doody." into an array of words without commas and periods, in one operation?I've tried words:Array = startString.split(String.fromCharCode(32,44,46));i guess the reason my example doesn't work is because it searced for " ,." to split the string.

How do I create an array of strings from a string, eg."hello world" would return ["hello", "world"]. This would need to take into account punctuation marks, etc.There's probably a great RegEx solution for this, I'm just not capable of finding it.

I have a string provided to my flash file that I need to break into a max of 3 sentences(strings).
I have written some actionscript to break it up by set lengths, but I also need it to not break words up.
To test you can place the following code in a blank as2 file.
Code:
var personalMessage:String = "You got this far so we reckon that you could be curious enough to learn a little more, we�ll contact you shortly to answer any questions you may have.";
_root.myArray = new Array();
_root.myArray = personalMessage.split("");

my objective is:
1.Read in a text file. e.g containing text like this, teacher/student/1/sn/2/3/4/5/9/f/tn/02/
2.pass it to a string.
3.then beable to extract different parts of the string and place them in different arrays.
The bit I dont know how to do is the extracting specific parts of the string? Is it possible to search for / and to treat what comes after it as a specific peice of information until the next / is read? Or perhaps there is a more efficient approach?

i'm trying to write a function but with no luck. seems my brain capacity's limited the function will take two parameters: a term to search for, and a string to be searched. what i want the function to return is a new string containing the term (the parameter) along with a couple of words before and after it (as found in the search string).

I've got a lovely little drawing of a tree, and when I hover over it, the leaves turn from green to brown, which is exactly what I want it to do, however, I only want it to do it once. At the moment, once it's finished it's colour change, it stays that shade of brown, but if I hover over it again, it starts the little green to brown animation again. Is there any way to make it only listen once? ie once it turns brown, it stays brown forever?[code]

I have a main swf with a button that loads a simple Papervison3D cube swf.It loads just fine...but when i click a different button on my main swf (which removes the Papervision swf and loads a different swf) i see endless repeating lines of the same error build up in my error window. Visually, everything works (the Papervision swf is removed immediately and a new swf replaces it) but these errors suggest otherwise It looks like the Papervision swf has not completely been unloaded or something...i dunno. Is there some removal step that i'm not doing?

The strangest thing has occurred with one of my apps (Flash/Coldfusion/mySQL). I use a simple INSERT statement to save member details into my table. The table has a Primary Key on the memberID. Recently, one of my entries was saved multiple times (not supposed to happen). The datetimestamp shows the save occurred at the identical time. This has never happened before. I've read on Stackoverflow that there are alternatives to INSERT e.g. REPLACE INTO, but I'm wondering why this would have occurred in the first place?

I have many movieclips -I have 10 movieclips for each type-and i have around 7 types of movie clips (ex. 10 red squares, 10 green triangles, 10 blue circles movieclips) now I want a different action to occur if any of the movieclips get clicked-but the same action should occur if the same type gets clicked (ex. if the user clicks on any of the blue circle-it should get dragged, if they click on any of the green triagles-it should get deleted and so on)what's an efficient way of doing it except for
if square1.onclick=square2.onlick=function()...
if triangle1.onclick=triangle2.onlick=function()...
there's a prototype-but that affects all the movieclips-is there a way for me to make each of the movie clips-sort of a different category (object) so that way I can use prototype keyword-or anything else-to have the same affect? and not have to write repetitious code?(maybe some sort of inheritence to movieclip)

How do I make an MC or other object listen always for an action to occur. I know that sounds vague and I don't mean it to be. I'm wanting to dynamically load MCs into another base MC. The deal is the amount of child MCs is not defined. I want each MC to be "listening" for an action to occur in a base MC and in other child MCs. I tried using localConnection, but it doesn't do the above.

Is there a way to make event flow occur synchronously?
Basically this is my scenario. I have a single method call that gets triggered by a server request. I want to be able to notifiy subscribers that the method has/is executing so that they may return a result. By modifying an attribute of the actual event object, the method can return that result to the server dynamically. Eg:
Code:
//method invoked by server
public function whatever(...parameters):* {
var event:MyEvent = new MyEvent(MyEvent.TYPE);
[Code]....
This code works around 70% of the time, but sometimes I see things are really happening asynchronously in Flash Player's event flow. Is there anything I can do to regulate this and make sure it happens synchronously?

The jist of what I'd like to know and focus on understanding, is details on how binary deserialization occurs in Flex 3. When is the constructor called, when are properties set, are private members serialized or does all deserialization occur on and through setters, etc? I'm having a hard time finding information on this.In a Flex 3 AIR application, I have a pretty complex object graph(just a bunch of objects referencing one another, kinda like a big data model except a bit more complex) that I serialize to a file using a single call on the FileStream.writeObject and readObject on a root object, which serializes and deserializes the entire object graph.I found that I needed to always have a default constructor, else I would get exceptions on the objects when deserializing if they were part of an ArrayCollection. So I had to eleminate the constructor parameters or set default values. I now have many setters like this in my classes, such as the below where mConnection accumulates some information it needs through different setters, where as before I had this all packed into the constructor since all of the information is really necesary for the Connection to function:[code]So the connection's serverIP is still an empty string because the server was assigned to the client's property before the server was completely initialized.
I could probably resolve this by using binding so that updates to the serverip in the server are bound to the connection, but I find binding properties to be fairly complicated (it's really simple on UI in mxml cause you just use the curly bracket syntax but doing it by code is what I found complicated). I have also resolved some cases by removing the constructor parameters entirely, so that there is no default values. All that aside, I still really need a deeper understanding of the details of binary serialization as far as how it rebuilds the object graph. I even have circular references, and it seems to handle those fine and maintain multiple references without duplicating objects. It's just when my constructors/setters are more complex that I'm running into these problems because of the order of what occurs during deserialization. It is really inconsistent though, as adding breakpoints in various places seems to influence the order that things occur, making it more difficult to debug.On a side note for anyone that might sidetrack the topic because I am serializing a class called Connection. I added some code to address some things, like in the Connection class there is an instance of a Socket. Of course my socket would not be connected after I close and reopen the application and deserialize it, so before I serialize my object graph, I go through and close the socket and set the reference in the Connection class to null, so that there is no longer a reference to the socket and thus it will not get serialized. After deserialization on the next application run I create a new socket.

I have an application with a Google Map, an Area Chart, and an accordion containing a list.When the selection in the list is changed, the application fetches data from the server and updates the chart and map, repositioning the map to contain all markers within its viewport and kicking off a SeriesEffect to animate the chart data redraw.When a user changes selections and continues to mouse over the items in the list while the map and chart are redrawing, the labels on the item renderers disappear.The item renderer code is the following:
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx = "http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s = "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx = "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"

I've some very old Flash applications, which we don't want to rebuild to add a new feature. We simply need to detect when the user has become idle. So, if the Flash application receives no key or mouse events after 3 minutes, we want to track that time till the user interacts with the application again.
We've considered wrapping the applications in newer Flash applications to include the key/mouse event tracking; however, early research shows that some of our apps are so old that they use event systems or AVM's (ActionScript Virtual Machines) that are incompatible. Also, it seems that mouse events on the inner application don't bubble up to the outer application. (I think the direction of event processing is backwards in versions of Flash prior to 8)
Anyhow, the next idea on the table is to see if we can determine when the user stops interacting with the old Flash applications using JavaScript. Can anyone confirm whether or not it is possible to detect, using JavaScript only, when a swf in an HTML document loses focus or key and mouse events stop and start occurring on the swf?

I have three buttons on screen that navigate to different places on the timeline. I have set them all up as buttons using a generic button in the library and then given them all different instance names. I selected the button and changed the text colour for each state in the timeline (up, over, down) to keep it simple. The buttons are all, as far as I can analyse, identical in all but instance name.
When I test the movie, the first button changes text colour on 'over' and, when I click (i.e. down state) the colour changes again as designed. The navigation action doesn't occur until I release the mouse button, giving the feel of having 'clicked' the button.
With the other two buttons, which have been set up as far as I can tell in exactly the same way, when the down state occurs, I see a momentary flash of the text colour change and it performs the nav straight away. I really want it to perform the same way as the first button but cannot for the life of me see why they're behaving differently.
