Aside from the fact that this is not as simple a method as doing a
String.split() and then joining each array element, your method
didn't keep the return value after each recursion. I added a local
var for clarity.
================================
function eliminateSpaces(phrase:String):String {
var testString:String = phrase;
var finalResult:String;
var foundSpace = testString.indexOf(" ");
if (foundSpace != -1) {
testString = String(testString.substring(0, foundSpace) +
testString.substring(foundSpace + 1));
if (testString.indexOf(" ") != -1) {
testString = eliminateSpaces(testString);
} else {
trace("output: " + testString);
}
}
return testString;
}
var s:String = eliminateSpaces("moe and larry and curly");
trace(s);

I've written a simple routine to eliminate spaces from a user entered
string. But, it won't return the string. I'm sure it's something
silly. Can anyone shed light?
