I want to add a newline to a string text and I was wondering if there is a newline constant in actionscript 3? For example in .net there is an Environment.NewLine that is a string, containing "
" for non-Unix platforms, or a string containing "
" for Unix platforms.
i am currently generating some text via actionscript and i need to create a new line but dont know hoe to in as3, i tried the below without successActionScript Code:backwins.text = "Welcome Back " + usernme + newline + " Your Total Amount Of Wins Is: ";
View 3 RepliesI have made this converter and it stops working when the user presses enter, as the new line corrupts the data. So i thought, i'll just remove the new lines every time the user presses enter. But apparently i can't access the '' character using string search functions or regular expressions.I try to execute the code in the Change event of input_TF.text
ActionScript Code:
trace(input_TF.indexOf("
"))//always -1

What I am trying to do is take a string of numbers and convert it into an array, while cutting out the non-digits. Here is the format:1.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+000 1.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+0001.0000000e+000 1.3668423e+000So it's basically: Space, Space, Digit, Space, Space, Digit, NewlineRight now I am using the following code (myString is a String, and dataSet1 is an Array):
var reg:RegExp = new RegExp("
");
myString = textLoader.data;dataSet1 = myString.split(reg);

View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic text box called "tbNotes".I need to be able to see if the text box contains a website address. If it does contain a website address, I need to have a movieclip called "hilight" appear over that text.I have been messing around with this for a while but can't figure out how to search the text box to see if it contains "www."

View 2 RepliesGiven the following example SWF: Sample Notice how with the words "enthusiast" at the end of the first line and "write" at the end of the second line, that they start to type out on the first line but after a few letters they are bumped.
I understand this is the correct behavior, but is there a way for "enthusiast" to begin being typed on the second line, and "write" on the third line instead of being bumped during the typing?
Currently I am thinking of doing a search ahead mechanism, so it finds the next word in whole, then makes that the active word to print, temporarily print it, see if it increases the numlines, and if it does insert a line break and continue writing. But it seems fiddly.

In the script, sometimes a newline is added in the beginning of the text field (am using a textArea in adobe flex 3), and later on that newline might need to be removed. I was wondering how to check if there is a newline at the beginning of the text field and then how to remove it.

I've tried different ways of putting the expression together and no matter what i seem to do the result is always equal to 10150125903517628 rather than 10150125903517629.

View 2 RepliesI am building a text editor in Flex using the Text Layout Framework. So I have a Canvas in which I display the content of a TextFlow. I would like to show scrollbars in the canvas, so that I can use the scrollbars to scroll throught the content.
However, the width and height of the 'composed' text layout is equal to that of the canvas, so it is not a matter of just turning on the scroll policy.
Somehow I am not able to find the full height and width of a full composition of the TextFlow.
adding the TextFlow to the canvas: rawChildren.addChild(_textFlow.flowComposer.getControllerAt(0).container);
Anyone knows what is the best way to add a scrollbar here? Or how to figure out the full height of the TextFlow?

im using PHP with MySQL to send information to my flash file using GETs.Using FlashVars i have managed to get the users 'id' with this i can send my questions/searches to a PHP script which access the database and returns the information to the html page.What i would like to do now is add the information sent back to the html page to a variable inside flash for example:
var usr_name = get_user_name(id) || 'Unknown'; // "Unknown" should just be for offline use.
but this just returns 'Unknown' this is the function used:
public function get_user_name(usr_id){
loadData('search.php',"quest=name",'usr_id='+usr_id);
}[code]......
If i just type the URL into a web browser i get the name outputed.
