Yeah, thanks. mea culpa. didn't read the docs on the function version closely 
enough.

 Kinda cheated for one line but it works:
 
 var s:String = t.toLowerCase().replace(/-([a-z])/g, function():String {

  This seems simple, but I can't figure it out.
 
  I have some input I don't control with a lot of properties that look like
  xx-yyy that I want to camelcase: xxYyy and I'd like to do this with a
  one-line replace() instead of a longer split/join approach. I've tried
  several variations of:
 
  var s:String = t.replace(/-([a-z])/g, $1.toUpperCase());
 
  I've also tried making the second param a function that returns uppercase,
  but replace() doesn't do the group substitution in this case.
 
  Can this be done?
