How can I check if a string has any other character than the ones listed here: [URL]
I would like to know if the string was inputted in any other language than English. Is finding special characters in the string the best way to detect non-english characters?
In AS2 you had the functions ord() and chr() which specifically converted ASCII codes to their string equivalents.
However in AS3, String.charCodeAt() and String.fromCharCode() work with Unicode values.
Is there any way to convert a string character to its ASCII equivalent and back?
does anybody wrote a class for convert the special characters in ASCII/ISO Latin-1 Character Code, passing a string? i need to return for example:

I've used a Kirupa tuto for loading externat txts in a dynamic text box and works...but the problem is I'm spanish and we use accents and the break c: �So I changed the externat txts to html files in order to use accents, but...as Flash uses the "wonderful" ampersand to change between texts blocks, everytime I write an accent or a � , Flash thinks this is the end of the text and hides the next text.So, there's is a way to use externat txts or html with non standard ASCII loaded in Flash?

In Sweden we have these characters (and of course also in caps). But my MySQL db can't store characters, so if I look in the db and search for my name, Bostm, i can't find it..The search is ran from within flash (mx2004, and from there to a php-script, wich then sends the matching row back to flash.I want to convert all thein a string, and to be able to reconvert them when flash gets the string back... So the string should be stored in the db with the encoded...(am I confusing you now?)And I can't use the html-code for 'cause if the php-script prints this: Wow... quite an explanation...Ok, short summary:
AS-sting: Bostrm
>encode (so that =ASCII or so)
>send to PHP-script

there is an escape sequence which will code a specific ASCII character. In the format of "xnn" where nn is a hexadecimal ... like "x41" gives "A" My problem is, I have a function which returns a hexadecimal...but the escape sequence won't work that way. decToHex(65) returns "41" But "x" + decToHex(65) does not return "A" as intended...but "x41" I was wondering why my logic behind this is flawed?
View 4 RepliesI need some code for ActionScript 3.0 which will remove any characters which are not valid in an XML attribute.
Have spent some time searching google and not found what I'm after.
When I load an XML using ActionScript all the characters inside strings render fine except special characters like:

I have run into this before, and just ran into it again, and was completely confused how a bytearray converted to a string was only 4 characters long. The problem is, if you EVER try to append a NULL character (not the ActionScript null, but the string value of the char 0), it cuts off the end of the string when printing out in trace or displaying onstage. HOWEVER, if you trace out the length of the string, you get the full length, so the problem arises trying to print the contents onto trace or the stage.

Everything was going well, when suddenly this bug appeared out of nowhere. It appears that some random characters are getting removed from my strings. For example, when I write the [code]...
And then run the program, then info_txt just shows: "elmehehmepage", which is the same string minus a bunch of characters. When I try to write the [code]...
I need to be able to 'clean' dynamic string from all symbols (all characters that are not a letter or number..) and replace them with "-"
i.e A Fine "Painting" Number 1 - would equal - a-fine-painting-number-1
I am trying to find the generic links in strings. I've found a very handy regex on RegExr, in the community expressions:
(https?://)?(www.)?([a-zA-Z0-9_%]*).[a-z]{2,4}(.[a-z]{2})?((/[a-zA-Z0-9_%]*)+)?(.[a-z]*)?(:d{1,5})?
I tried to use it and it returns null, although the same string tested on RegExr works fine:
var linkRegEx:RegExp = new RegExp("(https?://)?(www.)?([a-zA-Z0-9_%]*).[a-z]{2,4}(.[a-z]{2})?((/[a-zA-Z0-9_%]*)+)?(.[a-z]*)?(:d{1,5})?","g");
var link:String = 'generic links: www.google.com http://www.google.com google.com';

This works fine but when I upload to my clients server the url might be somewhat different. Is there a way to split off the last 14 characters and see if they = slideShow2.swf or is there a command if the string contains "slideShow2.swf".
What i'm trying to do is to first of all remove all special characters from a hard coded tweet. What I want to do after is to convert each letter into a specific tone, using MML (Music Macro Language).When i play the tweet via the sound library sion after my attempted replacing i only get five tones through. What am I doing wrong? I'm guessing it's simple, but I don't know anything.I'm coding Actionscript 3 in FDT, which is all very new to me, as is regexp.
public function translateTweet() {
var myPattern:RegExp = /[~%&\;:"',<>?#]+/g;
var tweet : String = "@cupofjoakim AN EXAMPLE string! :D #hi11expo";[code].......
I am trying to count the characters in a string.
ActionScript Code:
D4_frame_txt.text=xmlList[j].toString();
D4_frame_txt.maxChars=400;

I get no compiler error message but the count doesnt seem to work. Never overflow.
if i have this, for example:<font color="#9378FE" size="28">LOREM DOLOR IPSUM SIT AMET</font>how do i remove any occurence of html tags?so that i am only left with:LOREM DOLOR IPSUM SIT AMET

ActionScript Code:
var string1:String="Jeep Wrangler - Red";
var string1:String="Jeep Liberty - Green";
var string1:String="Jeep Patriot - Yellow";
var string1:String="Jeep Compass - Black";
For each string, I want to create a function that removes the text to the right of the "-" character so the strings return as:
ActionScript Code:
var string1:String="Jeep Wrangler ";
var string1:String="Jeep Liberty ";[code].....
I'm trying to strip the name of a movieclip to just the number so that I can use it as a parameter in a function. The name of the movieclip is mcThumb6 and there are 8 different clips that are numbered 1 - 8. I'm trying to use the .split method to remove the mcThumb and just have the "6" remain. The movieclips all have rollover functions. The rollover event strips out the string and then will call a function using the number (based on which movieclip was rolled over). This is working except when I trace out the new value it adds a comma in front of the number -- i.e. the output looks like this: ,6 instead of just 6.Does anyone know where this comma is coming from?
The code:
mcNav.mcThumb6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, thumbOver);
function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent):void

View 2 RepliesIs there a max length (number of characters)?
Working with JSON and some command strings I am building are getting lengthy.
what I need is simple thing, I have string which cantains data - time retrived from mySQL in mySQL format HH:MM:SS YY-MM-DD what I need is to split this string in actionscript to array of numbers like this
HH
MM
SS
YY
MM
DD
so I can compare it with current time, how to splite using multiple delimiters at first, then compare it with current time. this is my work until now
var param:Array = datetime.split(" :-");
var currentTime:Date = new Date();
var seconds:uint = currentTime.getSeconds();
var minutes:uint = currentTime.getMinutes();

I'm new to actionscript and i cant seem to get the regex syntax right in actionscript3. The task is straight forward, i want to make sure that the first two characters in a given string are alphabets and nothing else.[code]
View 2 RepliesI want to know if is possibile through regularexpression, count the numbers contained into a string and add a specified character near it.
For exemple, this is a string: Hello2all821abc13 This string contain 3 numbers: 2, 821 and 13 (note that the numbers contained into 821 and 13 are considered like an unique entity, not signle). I want to add near each of it the "-" symbol. Is it possible?
I 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("

I'm currently searching google whilst I ask this - I just couldn't find anything on my initial searches.Are there any quick ways to remove all non-numeric characters from a string?For example my string would contain:
'code: 1234'
I would wish to remove the 'code: ' part from the string just leaving '1234'.
I have to send a string from flash and I need to format it correctly. I'm going to use the restrict property too. Heres what I'm looking to achieve.
1. Remove and commas
2. If there are more than 2 characters after the period, round it the nearest number. Im guess for a minute you have to turn the string into a number then back to a string when processed.
ActionScript Code:
var badStr1:String = '1,000,000';
var badStr2:String = '1,000.98965';
