Professional :: Way To Split String Into Individual Letters
Nov 15, 2010
I'm trying to take the letters I have in a string var, eg "EXAMPLE", and display them in a textField like so:[code]Maybe I'm trying to make it too complicated, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm using the following code:[code]The textFeild shows nothing (the textField is coded correctly, as it shows regular strings).However, the trace shows it as:[code]I've got the textfield set large enough to accomodate the text.Is there a better way to split a string into individual letters, and then display them in a field one above the other?

I have piece of ActionScript code which is supposed to evaluate a string of HTML and break it up into individual pieces. So a string like <p>Hi</p><span>Hi</span><a href="index.php">Hi</a> would be translated into:
1. <p>Hi</p>
2. <span>Hi</span>
3. <a href="index.php">Hi</a>
...
However, when I run a test version of this code, I get a value of null in return. I'm pretty sure my regexp string is good, but I'm doing something wrong in ActionScript. My code is below:
var evaluatedInput:RegExp = new RegExp('/<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)[^>]*>(.*?)</1>/');
var output:Object = evaluatedInput.exec("<p>Hi</p><span>Hi</span><a href="index.php">Hi</a>");
trace(output);

I have a group of letters from A through O (evenly spaced from each other)What i'm trying to accomplish, is having an Up arrow above each letter, and Down Arrow below each letter.
The arrow will be used to move the letter up or down. (._y = ._y+20)The arrow above/below the letter "A" will be used to move the entire lettergroup.(actually, if it makes it easier, we can have a seperate up/down arrow to move the entire lettergroup)
I can make all this work, but..WHAT I WANT TO AVOID..Is having to duplicate the up/down arrows, to place above/below each letter.This didnt seem like the best way of going about it, so i tried to look for a way to have just a single up arrow and single down arrow.
SO HERE'S WHAT I DID:Theres a movieclip called "Lettergroup".Inside it, i duplicated a movieclip("letter") 15 times (A thru O) and spaced them evenly apart.I named each instance lettera_mc , letterb_mc, On the ActionsLayer of lettergroup, i put:

Im new to actionscript 3 and im trying to create a flash file that uses actionscript 3. I want to be able to apply actionscript effects to the letters of some dynamic text. I currently have the following that applys a line of text to a dynamic text box and it then applys an effect to it.
[Code]....
I want to try and use dynamic text so that i can have several different strings showing up at different times. I am also thinking about using other effects at the same time such as scaling effects but i though i would ask only using one effect to make it a bit easier. ow do I apply the effect to each indevidual letter of the dynamic text? I am sure of the length of the text as it will be used for different length strings.
I want to be able to cycle through different lines of text in wich i need to try and figure out how to fade one out and fade another one in after a certain time. I know how to fade something using actionscript but am not sure how to load a new one after an amount of time. The number of strings to cycle through may also be different in each itteration of the file.

I have a string that contains a full name input, and I would like to spilt them into 2 parts and save them inside an array, first name and last name. How do I do it with string.split? My current code is myNameArray = str_adminInput.split(" "); This code only works if the names are : Jack Lee, June Poh. This code does not work if the names are: Lee Tok Kong, Tan Beng Seng.

Good technigue for finding out if a string has any letters?I'm not looking for a specific letter, I just want to search a string and find out if it has any letters.

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 there a way to take all the letters out of a string and then use it as a integer?If that is not possible, is there a way to take the first three letters off a string variable? i.e. make myVariable='pic1' into myVariable = '1' Yes? no?

Currently I am trying to make a function that will split a text from an input box when it detects a return/enter. I know how I can save this stuff when encountering a space -
ActionScript Code:
var puzzles:Array;
puzzles = boxInPut.text.split(" ");
However, what kind of code should I enter between the "" when I want to detect a return? Detecting and saving stuff on runtime is not a good option - I'd rather save and run all the data that the user enters once the 'process' button is clicked by the user. So I need the split function to work with that as well.

I'm having a big issue getting a string to split into two pieces, and I can't for the life of me work out why. This is a function that is run, with the midText var, being a number between 0-100, spat out from a loader. I've traced it, and it seems fine, but my splitter function just wont work! The function works fine if you simple define a var in the code

I'm trying to convert a String into an Array of words. To do so I split the String when a space is met, and make a new Array containing only the words. The problem is when I try to get rid of any whitespace. The code works as intended for the whitespace between the words but ALWAYS fails to remove ONE whitespace if there are spaces at the start of my String.
[Code]....
As seen it accounts the last whitespace in front of my sentence as a word and doesn't remove from the Array.

Code:
//........
firstArray=myString.split("|");
for (i=0; i<firstArray.length; i++) {
secondArray.push(firstArray[i].split("#,"));
}
a piece of my code that creates a two dimensional array. I need to take this one step further and split(",") secondArray and create thirdArray
would anyone give me a hand with this or just get me on the right track?

I've made some code that loads a line from a text file as a string and puts it into a dynamic field. What I want to do is randomize the letters of the string, but I can't seem to find any functions that do so. Anyone have an idea as to how you do this?
Code:
var url:String = "test.txt";

I've searched high and low for a simple function that gives me all the possible combination of a set of characters with no avail. Anyone here got enough of a maths brain for this one? I want a function around the likes of this: possibleCombinations("abc"); which returns an array: "abc", "ab", "a", "cba", "cb", "c", "..." ETC You'd be doing me a hug favor as a deadline depends in the delivery of this code.

When you want to split a string in to an array, seperated by the letter "e" for example. So string: 0e5e8e7 would become 0,5,8,7..[code]Is there a way you could split a string by multiple values? So instead of it splitting the string when it comes across "e", could you have it split when it comes across "e", or another character.
