I have an experimental flex source file(lex.l):
%option noyywrap
%{
int chars = 0;
int words = 0;[code]....
Since there is no newline character in the input file, why the " in lex.l is pattern matched? (The "lines" is supposed to be 0, and the "chars" is supposed to be 9)(I am using OS X.)
[Code]...
Is there a way to do this with RegExp maybe? I know that I could just add each variation of each pattern to the array, and just search it, but I want to do it more intelligently.
I want to add a newline to a string text and I was wondering if there is a newline constant in actionscript 3? For example in .net there is an Environment.NewLine that is a string, containing "

I have flex 4 and writing my own autocomplete component (based on the popupanchor) to search for different books. In the dropdown box, how can I highlight the text that matches? For instance, a user types in "ema" and the search returns "Pet Sematary"....I want to highlight the letters "ema" within "Pet Sematary"
View 1 RepliesI need to match a string that begins and ends with the same character in flex...I know the long hand way (RE being - "a[^(a")]a" | "b[^(b")b" | etc...), but I'm positive this isn't what I'm required to do (midterm tomorrow!);
I need to do this in flex, but if you can think of a short regex for it, I may be able to convert it to flex notation.
What I was thinking of was something along the lines of -
%%
int firstChar;
%x string;
%%
[Code].....
But this bugs me in a few ways, first, having that variable makes this not a regular language; second, I don't know if you can even use a variable to in a pattern match; and third, I don't know how NOT to match it, if it's just a normal string. And third, I don't know how to return everything that's been matched while in 'string'
For some reason I can't seem to match a parentheses in Flex using Regex to save my life. What's wrong with this?
var commandTxt:String = "switchview(adf)";
var switchViewArray:Array = commandTxt.match(new RegExp("switchview(", "i"));
I've tried dozens of things, but I can't seem to get a match the parentheses. What's the catch here?
I have some xml, I want to give it to a List dataprovider, but based on an attribute match.
My Xml
<components>
<rows name="general">
<objects name="Start" image16="startflag16" image32="startflag32" class="someclass">
[Code].....
And I am trying to do something like below, If I remove (@name=="general") from below line it gives me all property
listView.dataProvider=list_components.rows(@name=="general").objects.property;
But it gives me error, so basically I want to get all property based on rows attribute name matching general

View 2 RepliesI need to replace multiple contiguous new line/line feed characters in flex with a single new line character.
Example:
The string

Should be converted to

Hope the example makes it easier to understand.

I guess using regex would be the easiest way to do this, but still it would be great if people can point me out to references/examples to get this done with ease.

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?

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.

I had this same issue when I created an application using google's javascript API and the solution was to have closure on the callback function creating the multiple markers.I can not seem to find an example for making multiple custom markers, with anything other than using some random math function to create the multiple markers.
GlobalVars is a class that contains static public var types to keep up with however many addressess, lats, lngs, etc...I have tried using markermanager but it has some issues that I finally just gave up on. Starting with
retrieveLatLngAddress.addEventListener(GeocodingEvent.GEOCODING_SUCCESS, function(event:GeocodingEvent):void{
This is where I begin geocoding by address, rather than using an httpservice, as I was doing before, but I ran into issues of one httpservice result would return faster than another, which would in turn place the wrong data with the wrong marker.
Obviously, I have not found a solution, because this way is doing the same thing.Question being, how can I retrieve multiple markers info and keep all the markeroptions in order with the information being returned.
Here's the code:
public function makeMultipleMarkers(destinationAllObj:Object):void {
removeRouteMarkers();
myMarkers = [];
GlobalVars.myIcon = [];

We are trying to fill our Flex 3 applications background with an image pattern by repeating the pattern throughout the background.
The pattern is a very small "bulleted"-background.

color: #000000;

I need to write a method doing a formatting of numeric value given a pattern as one of the parameter, in actionscript.
For example:
a. 12345.00 using format pattern ###,###.## resulting 12,345.00
b. 12345.00 using format pattern ##,##,##.## resulting 1,23,45.00
Initially, I thought that NumberFormatter able to do that, but after reading documentation, it seems you are not able to accept pattern.
how to implement this ? I'm using Flex 4.1
UPDATE: I made an advanced formatter based on the sample created by Jason. You can download it here : link
I would like to implement the MVC pattern to an existing Flex project.I want to separate out the controllers and models from the views.

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'm currently using RobotLegs with the Presentation Model pattern to develop a Flex 4 project. I understand that all business logic related to a View resides in the Presentation Model associated with that view, however, I am confused when it comes to View specific logic.For example, I have an indicator that needs to be positioned relatively to list items depending on which list item is selected. Is it acceptable in the Presentation pattern to put the logic that will position the indicator in the View and simply have that logic run in reaction to a selectedIndex property changing in the presentation model?The reason I am considering this is that since the Presentation Model does not have a reference to the view it is difficult to come up with an ideal solution for manipulating view components.

I am rendering a TextField (Flash CS5) with the following css and html properties :
css = "a {font-weight: bold;} fu {color: #00A0A0;}"
wordWrap = true
multiline = true
html = <![CDATA["Phoenicians were pioneering artisans and ingenious craftsmen...
They developed the technique behind the production of transparent glass...
Their innovation spread around the globe throughout the past centuries...
<fu>WE AIM TO CARRY ON WITH THE INNOVATION</fu>"]]>
The last QUOTE is rendered in a line BELOW "WE AIM TO...". It's rendered like this :
WE AIM TO CARRY ON WITH THE INNOVATION
The ONLY way to render the quote in the same line with "WE AIM..." is to :
a) Either put it INSIDE <fu>
b) Or remove <fu> altogether.
Is this a Flash bug? Am I doing something wrong with css or html?
