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.
I need a string splitted into groups of characters in ActionScript like this:
var txt:String = "Hello World";
var arr:Array = txt.split(3);
// Now arr should contain a value like: ["Hel", "lo ", "Wor", "ld"]

I have a ScrollPane with two textfields and UIScrollbars. I set the dimensions so that everything fits in the ScrollPane width-wise perfectly (i.e. without the horizontal scroll bar appearing). However, the horizontal scroll bar does appear. When I scroll to the right, there is nothing additional there. If I remove the UIScrollbars, the bar disappears, so theres the root.
If I trace the objects under the mouse in that empty space I get:
>> instance357 : [object Shape]
>> instance359 : [object Shape]
>> instance358 : [object MovieClip]
>> instance355 : [object ScrollPane_upSkin]
>> instance184 : [object ScrollPane]
The two scrollpane objects I understand. The MovieClip I am pretty sure is a part of the upSkin since it shows up everywhere the upSkin shows up. The two shapes are what I think is at issue here.
My assumption is that there is a non-visible component of the UIScrollbar that is inside the container Sprite. Based on what I know of the UIScrollBar's components, I am thinking it is the focus Rectangle, but I have no idea if that's accurate or how to test it. All I know is whatever is causing the problem appears to be exactly 100 pixels wide. Is there a way to set a maximum width of a Sprite or remove the horizontal scroll bar of a scrollpane? If not, is there any other creative means to get rid of my horizontal scroll bar?
Is it possible to change the width of an insert TAB character in a Flex TextArea?I'm capturing FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE events and manually inserting a " " into a text area styled with an embedded monospace font. By default, the TABs are being displayed two and a half monospace characters wide... I need them to display five monospace characters wide
View 2 RepliesFor my menu on my page, I want to do things dynamically. For the drop down menu, I want to have a box around the link when moused over, that changes depending on the number of characters that are going to be placed on it.

See how the "tab" around team is smaller than the menu? But GRAPHICS will be larger, and so on.
I'm parsing an XML file to pull in the data for the menu, so I want to handle this portion dynamically as well.

View 3 Repliesis there any way of searching a string from right to left and trying to find the first occurrence of like a letter or a fullstop or something like that? also is there any way of finding the index of were its located and then deleting all characters from left to right starting at what ever index value was returned?
View 2 RepliesWhat I am after, is taking a string, then taking each character in that string and making it a variable, then displaying each character by itself. My problem is figuring that out. I thought I would try using a for loop and creating each character variable like that, but it doesn't work. I doesn't display anything. Here is my code so far, it seems like the closest thing I've gotten to:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=myString.length; i++) var letNum:String = myString.charAt(i); var let:String = letNum;
}

What is the opposite of String.charAt()??If I Have a string:var Str:String="Hello World";How do I change the 5th character, for example, from a ' ' to an '_'?I can GET the 5th character like this:var C:String=Str.charAt(5);But how do I SET the 5th character?

View 3 RepliesI need to strip a string from another and get the remnants. The string I need to strip is a Twitter username, so it can be variable length, but always starts with an '@' and can only contain alphanumeric characters or underscores.
For example, the original string might be "@username: tweeting about stuff" and I need to get out of that ": tweeting about stuff".
Is there an actionscript function I can use to pad a string to a certain length with a certain character?
Example: I have a number lets say 274 and I want to make sure that number is at least 6 characters long...with any open space receiving the character 'W'. So I'd call the pad function and my final number would look like this: WWW274
I would like to know if there is a way to detect from star variable second a and b in the following code? I want to compose code to omit first a and b and detect only second a and b. At the moment it detects both - first and second. And once the second a and b is detected I want it to be replaced by g and h so the star variable will have following string: "a b c d e f g h". Here is the code:
Code:
// there are 2 "a" and "b" letters in the string
var star:String = "a b c d e f a b";[code]............
I would like to delete the movieClip that created this variable "tall" in this code I attach if it were to be a certain suit, but I keep getting undefined error messages...I think it's because it is'nt a string variable, but I am not sure since it has been retreived from the server like in the line below:
maTall.push(String(variables.tall1)); I thought that String there specifies making it a string...

I am attempting to write a utility class that, when fed a camel-case class name, will return it as a String with spaces inserted before uppercase characters. Basically, if I pass SomeClassName into it, it will return "Some Class Name".At the moment, the way I envisage it working is to loop through the String, comparing each char with an array of uppercase characters and, if it finds an uppercase character, I'd like it to insert a space before it.Have experimented with a variety of String methods but can't seem to get anything to work

This is the main offender. I'm just wondering how I would find the last character and ignore everything else after that? Kind of similar to the php explode.
In a dynamic text field, I need to be able to search for the string and all of the characters after that up until it reaches a <space> then return that whole string into a variable I can use.

This strikes me as odd. Shouldn't it be "1,1,2%N2,3,3" instead? Obviously, I've done something wrong along the way, but I'm not sure what I've done wrong or how to fix it.

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'm making a little program that has to count specific characters in a string. Let's say the user inputs a name (I.e. "John Jabbadoo Jackson") and I need to count all the o's in the string. In this case it should be 4. How would the script look like?
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know what the character limit for a string in AS3 is? I'm generating a rather large XML string in a flash app which I'm sending to a php script to parse and save to a DB. I was stepping through the code and it looks like after a certain period that my XML string is going to blank. I'm assuming that this is because it's going over a limit. I don't really want to change my design but I suppose I'm going to have to if this won't work.
