Hi Allandt, Have you found this tool already? http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2008/03/regexr_free_onl.html It allows you to test your regex pattern expecially for AS And you can find a cheatsheat on RegEx on www.ilovejackdaniels.com and there is ofcourse alot on whttp://www.regular-expressions.info/quickstart.html and http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html Hope this will get you started, Sid On Jul 4, 2008, at 11:32 AM, Allandt Bik-Elliott (Receptacle) wrote: hi again i've been trying different things and it seems that the [^0] or [^ \d] is stopping it working.

Re: [Flashcoders] Sounds loaded - but is silent
Maybe it is a cross domain issue - but also consider that there was an error uploading to whatever domain you're using. Grab the file and make sure it plays - one quirk with the sound player (in Flash 9 at lease), is that it'll say its loading and playing anything. It's easily fooled - pass it a JPG, it'll load and say its playing as a sound. So just make sure nothing crazy happened in your upload to the other domain and the sound isn't broken.
