I'm slowly converting my older Director-made tutorials to Flash. The user inputs text, and then I evaluate it. Before this evaluation, I want to remove spaces to avoid the user's input being counted incorrect because of an extra space. How do I do this for Flash CS5?
Here's what I did for Director.

I want to make a text box that will not allow spaces to be entered. Is there some actionscript to do this?
In other words, a user typing 'John Smith' would just display 'JohnSmith'.
Is there a simple inbuilt function in AS3 to remove spaces in a String??
View 3 RepliesI'm building a word search game using the following AS3 code. My problem is I need to have spaces in my array of words, so that I can have things like states names, but I need the spaces removed before the words go into the puzzle.
The other concern is also that when a person selects a word from the puzzle will it still match the word in the list even though the word in the list still has a space.[code]...
In the submit form I'm having a text field for to enter a username.How do automatically remove any spaces between characters in the username field?
View 3 RepliesWould removing the (Variable definitions / Spaces / Have everything on one line) make the project run faster.Testing my projects most beefy loop without variable definitions seems to make it run slightly faster.
View 4 RepliesI'm new to AS3, as well as this forum,and had a question. I created a simple ad-lib type game for practice and would like to be able to remove any leading and trailing whitespace that a user inputs from the final outputted ad-lib, as well as if the user tries to submit their input with missing fields of text, it would throw an error and ask them to try again.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI made the following function to fade in and out four clips:
Code:
function fadeSq (clips, fade, speed){
while (clips.length){
clips[0].onEnterFrame = function(){
var fadeOut = fade - this._alpha;
[code]....
and I'm calling the code this way:
Code:
this.fadeSq ([btn_about_us, btn_Products, btn_product_codes, btn_contact_us], 0, 3);
As you al can see am I using underscores in the call back function, which I don't want because I want to display the information in a dynamic textfield. But when I leave open spaces I get all kind of errors. How can I prevend this?

The Library allows Movie Clips to be named with spaces on the end.This causes problems when exporting library items with linkages.When exporting you don't get an error, but the item does not show up in the build.Is there a reason you allow spaces on the back of Movie Clip names?

When I import the following XML and put the contents in a dynamic text field the beginning spaces disappear.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to eliminate additional spaces in text variables? Example: The forum already eliminate the spaces. Imagine that "_" is space on the following sentences:

Eliminating spaces...
text = "KirupaForum_is_the_best_Flash_tutorial_site_of_th e_World".
I have an online application that loads a variety of different languages. I have one main interface file that loads the appropriate language that is needed for the end user. These languages are being loaded from a txt file encoded using UTF - 8. Most of the languages are displayed fine in the dynamic text fields that are all embedded in Arial. The issue I have recently run into is with the French and Czech languages. In both languages the white space that follows a number is always removed. For example "20 minutes" would be displayed as "20minutes". Then in the Czech language I am also loosing spaces after certain letters, such as "a" and "v".
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to get this working right for days and it is driving me crazy. It should be very easy, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
I'm loading in an external text file, which is fine, but the problem is with how it is displaying.
It should look like the attached word file. But when I paste it in a text file it gets messed up. A sample of that is attached as well. I have tried making it look the same in the notepad file, but that doesn't come out right in the flash.
I have tried everything, importing as html, using xml files, copying the text into different programs and then into the text file.

View 1 RepliesJust to give you a little background, I am using CS4 and AS3, publishing to FP9. I am embedding fonts dynamically at runtime and there seems to be an issue with my dynamic 'html' text field when I have <b> tags within the CDATA.
In some cases, Flash seems to be rendering the bold text too close to the preceding character. Sometimes, even overlapping the preceding character. For the most part, this appears to be happening when the bold text appears at the end of the line before the text is wrapped.
I will note that, any text in the xml file wrapped in <b></b> tags is actually appearing bold, so I don't think it has anything to do with font embedding. In case it does, here is how I am embedding the font groups:
// Semi Bold
[Embed(source="/fonts/Anvers/AnversSemiBold.otf", fontName="AnversSemiBold", fontWeight="normal", fontStyle="regular", advancedAntiAliasing="true", mimeType="application/x-font")]
public static const ANVERS_SEMI_BOLD:Class;
I put together an .html page using a photoshop jpg that I sliced into sections. I was asked to replace two graphics from the original .jpg file with animated content of the same size. Using my slices as a guide for size, I created the two animated graphics in flash and saved them out as .swf files. They are both the exact same size(px) as the static images. I opened my newly sliced html file in dreamweaver, deleted the static images and placed the .swf files.
For some reason the .swf files cause gaps in my html page. Tere are no borders on the .swf files and I can't figure what I've done wrong.
One note: It seems to only ad space when viewing from Mozilla. Havent' tested it on a pc yet either.[URL]

I have a test field that I've created dynamically. If I add text to it by writing: myField.text = "some text" the text appears, but if I add text using a variable I don't see anything. If I trace the text field's text trace("text = " myField.text) I get the right value.
View 6 RepliesI have a text box that is about 300 pixels wide and can't be any wider. I also have a lot of text, so wordWrap and multiline are set to true. Works great! Only problem is that the text wrapping creates a lot of unused white space in the right margin of the box. This white space takes up a lot of room and looks kind of rough.
Is it possible to have Flash automatically hyphenate the text in the box to avoid the big white spaces along the right edge of the box?
I need to trim away away all the extra spaces that a users types into my input text field. I know that there are a few ways possible, but i'm not sure how to go about doing it.
View 5 RepliesI have 10 text fields named "text1", "text2" etc;
I'd like to use a for loop to pulate each one, so that each text filed is populated with whatever i is:
for (var i:Number=1; i<=10;i++) {
"team"+i.text = i;
}
I keep getting errors with regards to how the text filed name is referenced.
What is the correct way to increment the text filed name and reference it?
I've tried:
["team"+i].text = i;
"team"[i].text = i;
but they don't work.
I have text from an XML file that dynamically loads into a scrollpane.
The text appears in the scroll pane, and scrolls just fine --- but it doesn't show the full length of the dynamic XML text.
How can I make the length of a dynamic text area VARIABLE --- so that it expands to fill the length of the XML document?

From all the documentation and examples I can find, it appears that it would be
correct to create a global array variable [outside of any functions] to load image names into, then use these images for a slideshow. I want to make the app dynamic, in that changing the text file gives a new set of images.
The global variable goes null [no values] after the load event listener. Why is that?
Isn't global, well global, and alive for the duration of the SWF?

I have an Input Text box that has a variable assigned to it.The user is to input a number, and then it is submitted with a button that does a simple conditional if statement check. I noticed that the if statement is constantly failing because the variable is tracing back as HTML.The trace of the variable looks like this:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="12" COLOR="#0066CC" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">4</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
The variable should simply be the number 4 without all the HTML jibberish.The "Render text as HTML" is not on for the Input Text box.I am completely baffled and at a complete loss... any ideas of what is happening here?!Below is the exact code I am using...

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use a variable to remove a child from the stage and I get this error:

What I'm trying to do is to link some keys to add movie clips to the stage. But I need to have only one movie clip at the time on the stage, so, if I press a key to add a movie clip on the stage, the one that is already there needs to be remove. So I set a variable called "actualConf" to hold witch movie clip is on the stage. I simplified the code a bit to add it here (If I press "Q", the movie clip "lise" is added to the stage, then if I press "W", I want the movie clip "lise" to be removed than "nancy" to appear), I added a comment where I get the error :
Code:
Select allstop();
var actualConf:String = "null";
var lise:mcLise;
var liseX:Number = 50
var liseY:Number = 50

Because I will have about 15 keys linked to 15 possible movie clips, I don't want to use the "if" condition 15 times.
im trying to grab the instance name of something on stage, set it to a variable then remove it.
iv tried:
Actionscript Code:
var something = object1something.removeMovieClip();
that works. problem is im setting variables at runtime depending on a user click.tried this too..
Actionscript Code:
var myvar;object1.onRelease = function() {myvar = this._name;}
tracing this out reveals that it is actually _level0.object1.also tried adding the string "_level0." + object1. still dosen' work.what im trying to do is click on objects. store there instance names into an array then remove them all when i do something else. such as press space.
