View 2 RepliesI used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?

Within FlashBuilder/Eclipse, when you select a word, such as "protected" or a variable, every instance of that word is also highlighted.How do I change the background color of the selected instances of that word or disable the feature altogether?I have already changed the "selected text background color", the instance background color seems to be controlled separately.
View 2 RepliesIf i open .as file (or something else) in Notepad++ and select any variable or some other text, it will highlight all of the occurences of this variable in text of this opened document. And you can quickly see where this variable have assignemnts and so on. But in Flash CS3 i can only use standard Find dialog to search throug opened .as file and it finds only one occurence, then you hit "Find Next" and you've got another. Not so comfortable. So does that feature exist in Flash CS IDE, or something similar? (i can't find that)

I wonder how you can get text in input textfields that dissappear when you click in them to write something. Something similar to what's on [URL] I understand how you get the text there with variables but not how you make it dissappear when you highlight them.

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?

I've tried dozens of things, but I can't seem to get a match the parentheses. What's the catch here?

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

I'm working on an auto complete Input Text field. The user starts to type the state name "Pennsylvania" and when they reach 4 letters the box auto completes. My code is as follows and works:

Instead of auto completing I want the "sylvania" of Pennsylvania to be added to the text box but highlighted. So if the user keeps typing the "sylvania" part will be deleted or if they press the right arrow key the "sylvania" part will be added. Similar to how Google's auto complete works.
