AS, like JavaScript, has a built-in library of string functions. Most of them have the same names and work the same as they do in JavaScript. The indexOf function lets you search for the existence of a substring. http://www.foundation-flash.com/tutorials/stringfunctions2/ I'm not sure why everyone else is recommending the use of regular expressions, which seem massive overkill for what you're trying to do.
