Professional :: String Formatting/extracting?
Dec 5, 2011
string = justsomerandomstuff.Count:12562morerandomstuffI need to extract the "12562"I never know how far in the string this number will be, but I do know it's 1 character away from the word "Count". Somehow I would need to find the position of the string "Count within the variable, add 1 and extract the numbers. Also the the number is not always the same lenghth, so it would also have to work with this:string = justsomerandomstuff.Count:14238960morerandomstuff.

I have a string coming into my flash app that is formatted differently quite often. Sometimes, that string has HTML with various formatting options. I need a way to extract the message regardless of the fact if the person uses <B> , <I> or nothing. Below are sample strings:
STRING 1:
<FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">
<B>
<I>hi hun</I>
</B>
[Code].....

I am getting a string from Twitter into my Actionscript which is a unformatted string. I want to be able to extract any links and or any @replies from the string, then display it in htmlText.
So far I have this
var txt:String = "This is just some text http://www.thisisawebsite.com and some more text via @sumTwitter";
var twitterText:String = txt.slice(txt.indexOf("@"),txt.indexOf("
[Code].....
This is fine for extracting links, which finish with a space. But what if, like the @sumTwitter, it finishes at the end of the string. And also what if there are multiple links or @'s, is the best way to put it in a while loop?

I I have an alpha-numeric string as a variable. I would like to extract (from left to right) all of the numbers from the string and then push them into an array. Below, is what I have going so far, but it stops after the first number it meets. I was under the impression that the RegExp.exec runs through the entire string before stopping.
var testMenu:RegExp = /d/;
var whichTarget:String = me.target.name[code]..........
when I trace my array, it is just filled with the first number that is encountered. So, in the two examples above the array beomes [1] (when the string that is executed is "menu1sub2hypo3" and then [3] when the string that is executed is "menu3sub4hypo8". It craps out after the first number is reached.What I really want is that the array gets filled with [1, 2, 3] in the first example and [3, 4, 8] in the second example. How in Helsinki would I do that? Does the exec function need to be looped in any way?
Not so important right now but thinking a little down the line: what regular expression would I need to find "25" instead of just "2" if I run this RegExp.exec on a string that may look like this "menu25sub3hypo6"?

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.

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.

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.

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 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?

I have two input boxes that I can type numbers into.I'd like a third input box to display the total of the first two.I've set up a key pressed listener on the stage to run a function that adds them together when a key is pressed.Problem is, it just places the strings together - it ddoesn't add them.So how do I tell Flash that box1.text and box2.text are numbers?box3.text = box1.text + box2.text ain't doing it.

I am using CS5, AS3 and the scrollbar component as well as dynamic text from an XML file. I can format the text (color) in my XML that IS NOT being pulled into the scrollbar text. However, I have had no success formatting anything that is to scroll.
I have tried with and without CDDATA tags and nothing works. Is this allowed?

I have a dynamic TextField with very wide letter spacing in my .fla. However, whenever I change the text in the TextField using actionscript, the letter spacing resets. Is there a way to keep that from happening? And why does it happen in the first place

On my website Im trying to display examples of code. Ive been hitting a rather large wall when it comes to flash and how it deals with formatting text.
If I simply load as regular text I get a massive amount of extra white space and lose all my indenting. If I load as htmlText, I can get it to remove most of the white space but not all. I can also get some indenting using htmlText but it only applies to 'paragraphs' as a whole, which is obviously irrelevant with code, and requires me to go back to way too much white space.
Is there anyway I can get flash to load -exactly- what I see in notepad in regards to white space and indenting at the same time?

format.align = TextFormatAlign.RIGHT;
textField.defaultTextFormat = format;
[Code]....
how to alter individual formatting properties on a TLFTextField without affecting those already set?

I have recently upgraded my Flash CS4 to Flash CS5 on my MAC, and Flash CS5 to Flash CS5.5 on my PC, these upgrades are causing the Flash Auto Formatting feature to malfunction, it somehow becomes a tool that breaks my code and causes errors while exporting, instead of simply re-arranging the lines.This is happening with all my codes and all my projects, not a specific line of code.

The XML file format is:
<xml>
<condesa>
<lote>
<loteid>H50601</loteid>[code]....
I have an xml file that I am reading from. I am them taking the data and putting it into an XML object named condechiXML.
var condechiXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "condechi.xml";
var condechiXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);[code]...
What I want to do is run a for loop for every branch in my xml tree where I access a property in each branch. I have the for loop working using the length attribute for xml but when i want to use:
for (var i:uint=1; i<=condechiTotal; i++) {
trace(condechiXML.condesa["lote["+i+"]"].loteid);
}
my trace returns blank lines.

i was wondering, how can i extract thumbnail from a flash-video file, then display it in a listbox.the listbox is suppose to have many videos which i need to extract thumbnails from programatically with actionscript.the flash-player is going to be on the web, and the extraction must happen when the swf file is loading, therefore, the method must not be too time-taking.

have a SWF that I want to extract VideoFrames from.They appear under this name when the SWF is opened with 7-Zip (VideoFrame).Obviously, extracting them in that manner accomplishes nothing, as they are not in any recognizable image format.I have loaded the SWF into Flash Professional CS5, and am able to view all the Bitmap objects (assembled in a "UI", overlaying the video animation at one corner) in the Library, but I cannot find an enumeration of the video frames anywhere, or even find the object displaying them.
EDIT: I do NOT want to simply export the entire frames of the SWF, as there are several UI elements overlaying the video. I know for a fact that the entire video frames are present (just partly covered up). I want to extract the frames of the embedded video, not the SWF frames.

I am currently working on a project which relies on variables and constants defined in an external .swf-File. As I don't have the sourcecode to the .swf file I need to extract the content of these variables by decompiling and copy&pasting the variables by hand. I was wondering if there is a way to extract these variables by analysing the bytecode using c++ for instance.

I am using the loadVars class (Flash 8) to load key/value pairs from a mySQL database through php (example &pic1=pic1.jpg&pic2=pic2.jpg&...).
The ultimate goal is to create a dynamic slideshow with a variable length, depending on how many pics were submitted by the user. Since the associative array object returned by loadVars does not share the "length" property of indexed arrays, my guess is that the values need to be converted into a new indexed array before being able to use them in the slideshow.

my question could sound noobish, but... I'm having a headache trying to do a very simple operation. I have loaded a SWF with Greensock's SWFLoader, and now I want to instance a Bitmap with linkage "DotMatrixPattern" and use its Bitmap content to create a pattern with beginBitmapFill: the problem is... how do I extract the Bitmap from DotMatrixPattern? I am able to instance DotMatrixPattern, but then? DotMatrixPattern.rawContent?

I'm having trouble extracting the data from an XML file that I've loaded into arrays in flash.
Ultimately the XML file will sit on a server and will be updated separately from the flash file.
What I am trying to do is get text boxes to pull in the data from an array when a button is rolled over.
