Flash :: Search For Specific Words And Values In A Long String?
Apr 12, 2011
my objective is:
1.Read in a text file. e.g containing text like this, teacher/student/1/sn/2/3/4/5/9/f/tn/02/
2.pass it to a string.
3.then beable to extract different parts of the string and place them in different arrays.
The bit I dont know how to do is the extracting specific parts of the string? Is it possible to search for / and to treat what comes after it as a specific peice of information until the next / is read? Or perhaps there is a more efficient approach?

For a word matching game, when a player moves a piece I need to check the entire dictionary to see if the the word that the player made exists in the dictionary. I need to do this as quickly as possible. simply iterating through the dictionary is way too slow.
What is the quickest algorithm in AS3 to search a long list like this for a match, and what datatype should I use? (ie array, object, Dictionary etc)

i'm trying to write a function but with no luck. seems my brain capacity's limited the function will take two parameters: a term to search for, and a string to be searched. what i want the function to return is a new string containing the term (the parameter) along with a couple of words before and after it (as found in the search string).

I have a text field with a width of 10, and a height of 100. The text I'm inputting is something like:
"Hi thisisareallylongwordthatdoesntfitinthefirstline"
After setting the text, the text field becomes:
Hi
thisisareallylongwordth
atdoesntfitinthefirstline
I want it to be:
Hi thisisareallylongwor
dthatdoesntfitinthefirs
tline
What I'm trying to say is I don't want there to be a new line when the second word doesn't fit. I want to cut off the second word.
I've looked through TextField and TextFormat and I can't find anything that addresses this. Did I overlook something?

I was wondering if there was a way to code a loop so that it searches through a string and replaces a specified word that it finds with another.

I found this handy function...
String.prototype.replace = function(find,replace){
return this.split(find).join(replace).toString();
}
// Example:
foo = "Let's replace all the e's in this sentence with an o.";
trace(foo.replace("e","o"))
How would I replace the first "e" with "a", the second "e" with "b", etc...

I'm planning to make a game that gives players the choice to search a word when selecting a character, and if that word is found, they get to play as them. I don't even have a clue what, where and how I am gonna put the list in the game for something to search it. I'll try to give an example:
A user puts "horse" into the input field, presses the "Search" button, and Flash searches the word "horse" in a list of maybe 30 or so words. If it returns no results, a message says, "keyword not found". If it is found, a picture of a horse comes up in the character preview box.

I'm having some problems getting a flash application (in AS3) to search for a specific element value inside a xml. I have the following xml file.
<clientlist><pessoa><id>0140</id>
<nome>Maria Manuela</nome>
<email>mariamanuela@gmail.com</email>
<contacto>969876543</contacto>
[Code] .....
I have a "search" field where, supposedly, I would type a name and would get an array of "pessoa"s, but I am having some problems making the loop happen. So, imagine I would search for "Maria", I wanted to get a:
trace(PessoaArray[0]) =
<id>0140</id>
<nome>Maria Manuela</nome>
<email>mariamanuela@gmail.com</email>
<contacto>967060255</contacto>

I'm trying to figure out how to get this started. I'd like to type a word in a textfield and have it search for a match through a list of words in xml. There would be 26 xml files containing a list of words starting with a letter of the alphabet.

Using Actionscript 3 is there a way to search one bitmap for the coordinates matching pixels of another bitmap?
[URL]
Somehow you would have to loop through the bigger bitmap to find and the the pixel range that matches and return those coordinates. For example the Bitmap with the "E" is 250 pixels over and 14 pixels down in the bigger bitmap.

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.

here's my string....
var shapeString:String = "Princess,Round,Radiant,Princess,Heart,Round,Radiant,Emerald,Radiant,Radiant,Pear";
I need to figure out how to return the the 3 items that occur most in the order of highest to lowest. In this example it would end up being.
newString = "Radient,Princess,Round";
I imagine I would use indexOf somehow but I am not going to know what pattern I am searching for in the string so it is just based on the items that end up in shapeString based on a bunch of selected elements.

Is it possible to split a string like "Lorem ispum dolor, sit amet. Howdy doody." into an array of words without commas and periods, in one operation?I've tried words:Array = startString.split(String.fromCharCode(32,44,46));i guess the reason my example doesn't work is because it searced for " ,." to split the string.

I have colour values from a Flash application that are ARGB format(A being the alpha/transparency value). I have to convert that long decimal number to a RGB/Hexadecimal number in Javascript. Do you know how I can extract the individual R, G, B & A values from a long(8 digit) number? Here's my function which converts a number to hexadecimal BUT its not good enough because it needs to convert the values individually(R,G,B,A):

I have a string provided to my flash file that I need to break into a max of 3 sentences(strings).
I have written some actionscript to break it up by set lengths, but I also need it to not break words up.
To test you can place the following code in a blank as2 file.
Code:
var personalMessage:String = "You got this far so we reckon that you could be curious enough to learn a little more, we�ll contact you shortly to answer any questions you may have.";
_root.myArray = new Array();
_root.myArray = personalMessage.split("");
