And in case he really does not want to use regular expressions, there is
always the Array split/join approach.
public static function replace(sString:String, sFind:String,
sReplace:String):String
{
return sString.split( sFind ).join( sReplace );
}

I think the point is he's not aware that the way to do what he wants is
to create a RegEx with the g flag. eg
var strTest:String = "This is a test string";
var reggy:RegExp = new RegExp("t", "g");
trace(strTest.replace(reggy,"s"));

Why can't you use RegEx? A much slower way would be something like:
var inString:String = strTest;
while (true))
{
var outString:String;
outString = inString.replace("t", "s");
if (outString == inString)
break;
inString = outString;
}

Subject: [flexcoders] global replace with strings
Is there a way of replacing all occurences of one string with another
without using regular expressions?
var strTest = "this is a test"
trace strTest.replace("t","s");
returns "shis is a test" I want "shis is a sess".
