Actionscript 3 :: Can't Come Up With The Right Pattern?

I've been using the Regular Expression Explorer but I still can't come up with the right pattern.
[Code]...
i'm trying to search a string for a particular pattern, and replace it with elements from within the pattern... for example..here's the given string...if you want to learn how to use regexp, {url===http://somesite.com, text===click here}.
the pattern...
{url===http://somesite.com, text===replacement text}
and the intended result...
if you want to learn how to use regexp, click here.
of course, i'll extract the url and do something else with it... i'm just wondering what the regexp is for that pattern, and how i can extract things from the results returned.
I can't understand why should I even use the Singleton pattern in ActionScript 3. Can anyone explain me this? Maybe I just don't understand the purpose of it. I mean how it differs from other patterns? How it works? I checked the PureMVC source and it's full of Singletons. Why are they using them in the View, Module, Controller?
View 2 RepliesI'm working with some Action Script file and I found this:
var pattern:RegExp = /.*//
var results:Array = pattern.exec(cardImageService.url);
I know it's a regular expression and that exec() is looking for my pattern in my string. But how should I understand this pattern?
I am working on a Flash project that initially had a simple template for the animation, but has grown to have different "states" with multiple templates (not under my control)Because of this, my update (ENTER_FRAME) loop is now starting to look a bit like this:
private function update():void {
switch (state) {
case "intro":
switch(layoutState) {

I remember seeing someone a while back using actionscript a method to draw a pattern. I thought it was a really interesting take on as and kept in the back of my head for when the possibility came up.
View 1 RepliesIf I place a pattern or object over a 3d object created in CS4, will it affect it by warping it in any way.I'm looking for a way to push a pattern over a 3d object, for the pattern to look like the 3d object is "under" it.
View 2 RepliesI would like to create a repeating pattern using a bitmap from my library as a background. I would like the pattern to always fill the stage area when the brower window is scaled. The code below works, but I think it may not be the most efficient way to handle this. Seems to be a little slow.
function onResizeStage(evt:Event):void{
backGroundSprite.graphics.beginBitmapFill(pattern(0, 0));
backGroundSprite.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
backGroundSprite.graphics.endFill();
}
How can I find a given bitmap pattern on a bitmap ( loaded jpeg )? Is there any flash classes / functions for this purpose?Here is the sample image and has 4 patterns.What I want is to get the bounding informations of the 4 patterns on the image ( x , y , width , height ).

View 1 RepliesI'm looking to get some good books on design patterns and I'm wondering what particular pattern you'd recommend for a Realtime Strategy Game (like Starcraft), MVC?. I'd like to make a basic RTS in Flash at some point and I want to start studying the best pattern for this.

View 1 RepliesI plan to have the swf fill the browser window, and this should work fine for that. When people click on a button, I want the view to "zoom in" by scaling to 200% and setting the x and y coordinates appropriately.How can I do this with the repeating pattern, because the way I have made it is a series of movieclips. Is there a better way to make it so it is just one movieclip I can control the scale and position of?
ActionScript Code:
tileWallpaper = function () {
tileWidth = 200;

I have a model which manages all of my data (DataManager)
I have a series of view classes, which manage stage instances.
I would like my view classes to listen for custom events within my DataManager class. So, for example, when all of my data files are loaded, I would like to have a custom event dispatch. All of my views will have listeners within them, waiting for events from the DataManager to trigger functions within.[code]...

I started 2 days ago programming in as3, so I'm building a website and I want to create a pattern for my background.The pattern is a bitmap image 300px X 300px and I want to repeat it along the x axis and y axis of my document.My stage is 1280 x 800)And I want also to have the pattern to fill all the screen in case of the user's screen become larger than the resolution of the stage that I'm building the website on.

I have an array with 3 numbers [896,813,734]. Imagine they are hits in milliseconds. Is it possible to play a sound like a beep or something precisely? example: 1st beep =896, 2nd beep = 813, 3d beep =734
View 2 RepliesI wanna ask about the usefulness of this decorator pattern.Decorator pattern allows user decorate an item with different unique things.But what if there are 800 items to decorate the main component?That would lead to 800 subclasses under abstract decorator.Would XML as database shine in this area?Whats the point of having decorator pattern in the first place when we could just use arrays and a storage for item information such as prices in XML?
Arrays can do all the things that decorator can do, and further more uses a few XML easier to manage compare to 800 classes, although its against the concept of "close for modification"
Is there a way to extract children from an XMLList where the node name of a child contains a string pattern?For example :
<record>
<XblahX/>
<cow/>

I got some movie clips with different shapes and I would like to make a pattern from those movie clips. I have assigned the x y co-ordinates of those movie clips with the Math.random function. However, the shapes overlap all the time, what can I do to avoid it? I have tried to do a hitTest, but then it doesn't work.

Is there some way in flex to parse strings to date. I want it to support custom formats similar to 'dateformatter'. Using 'dateformatter' class we can parse date object in various string formats as specified by 'formatString property'. I want it other way round, from string to date. The parse method 'Date.parse(my_string)' does string parsing but for a very limited set of formats. Can't we have something similar to following, where user can specify his/her own formats.
someformatter.formatString = 'HH::MM::SS' ;
mydate = someformatter.formatTodate('23::56:34');
Will 'parseDateString' method of dateformatter be useul here?
Right now, I've got a switch statement which is being used to create objects based on a string. There are three types of objects which extend an abstract generic object. I should really be using a factory pattern, which I'm figuring out right now. My issue is thus: flexibility of the factory pattern, but right now I'm storing the would-be products in special dictionaries dedicated to their type.
_type1[location] = ArrayOfType1s
_type2[location] = ArrayOfType2s
_type3[location] = ArrayOfType3s

So i have a flash site i am doing in as2, even if the solution can only be done in as3, I still want it. I am trying to accomplish lines through the background image like on this site [URL] I tried just putting the patten on the image itself, but when i scale my site, its all distorted and the lines does not look as crisp anymore, like theirs do, so I am assuming they did the lines themself in flash...

I have assigned the x y co-ordinates of those movie clips with the Math.random function. However, the shapes overlap all the time, what can I do to avoid it? Someone has suggested that I could add the clips to a list after being randomised, then define the area which couldn't be place by the other movie clips. However, how can I define that area in AS3? I have tried to do the hitTest, but I am not too sure what should I do if it has detected a hit, since there's a probability that it will hit another shape.

View 1 RepliesI am using a command pattern, so any changes to object state need to happen within a command execution. A normal itemeditor in a DataGrid would just make its changes on the underlying bound object, but I need to intercept that change and make it use a command.how to implement this. A basic example is that I have an object with a "date" field. In the datagrid I am using a flex "DateField" component as the itemeditor. When I select a new date, I don't want it to update the datasource, I want it to call a different method where I can access the newly selected value and pass it to a command to execute.
