The problem with splitting Flash up into the Designer App and the Coder App
(Talking Flash here, not Flex which i've never used) is that those of us

Yes, that would be nice, but it's AS2. Hopefully AS3 soon! Thanks!

Are you using AS3? That would be much easier:
var input:String = Dog,cat,squirrel, bird - horse:worm;
var re:RegExp = /\s*[,-:\r\t]\s*/gm;
var result:Array = input.split(re);
I have a problem understanding RegExp
Could you explain this:
var re:RegExp = /\s*[,-:\r\t]\s*/gm;
TIA

I don't know if I could agree with the statement below. I have no real
use for Flex as I can get everything I need from Flash, and can take it
down as granular as I want. Flash's failure, IMHO, is providing a proper
coding IDE for just plain ol' AS3, sans Flex. Thank goodness for things
like
I'm in the same boat here (been working with Flash since v4 came out,
but have been coding for 25 years). Most of the stuff that has been
iterated in this thread somewhat echo my opinions. I particularly agree
with the one statement down below: AS3 is easier to use. The stigma is
that AS2
I think most of the people who would agree
with these charges are not in this mailing list.
Are there more AS3 coders out there?
Or more designers who sometimes use
a line or two of ActionScript with gotoAndPlays,
loadMovies, on release/rollover/rollout?
I wonder how would this discussion look
This particular regexp will match everything (that's the /g) that is
composed of:
\s* = 0 or more whitespaces (space, tab, etc) = followed by:
[,-:\r\t] = only one of these characters: , - : \r (newline) \t (tab) =
followed by:
\s* = 0 or more whitespaces
May I suggest you a book?

I'm looking for a tutorial/book on AS3. I have some knowledge of AS2 and

fairly systematic way. Any recommendations?

Thank you!!
I do own several books of O'Reilly and love everyone of them.
But is there really that much to tell about that they write books about one
class??
Anyway, I will look into it.
Thanks again!

I think AS2 is not compairable with AS3.
But I can surely recommend Essential Actionscript 3.0 of Moock and
Actionscript Cookbook of Lott, Schall Peters.

i think someone has touched on it before, but if there is to be code

It is correctly set as Document class.
And it is the only class so far.
So if you create an empty fla and set the Document class to LesViewer
Create a new LesViewer.as in the same folder and copy/paste
That would be:
var re:RegExp = new RegExp(^ + userString);
_siteXML..*.( re.test( attribute(name)));
Note: I simplified the regex a little bit. The .* at the end is redundant,
and I removed the [] because /^New/ is different than /^[New]/ and the first
seems more like what you want. The first
Well, because it isn't just another class', it is a complex language that
needs an equally complex processor, which is what the AS3 RegExp class is -
a processor to the language.
Or, as wikipedia can say more clearly:
In computing, regular expressions provide a concise and flexible means for

If you comment out the lines where you are attempting to set the height and
width properties then the text will be visible.
MovieClip.width and MovieClip.height are not listed as MovieClip properties

MovieClip inherits from Sprite.

Hi,
I'm working on a quite large AS3 project in Flash and I'm closing to the end
of it but suddenly my main file stopped compiling properly. There are no
compilers errors, but the application doesn't seem to start, and I get tons
of 1065: 'Variable xx is not defined' errors. I guess it lists
Perhaps I'm missing something, and this is probably slower than
regEx, but couldn't you simply change
xml.topics..topic.(attribute(title).toUpperCase() == searchTerm);
to
xml.topics..topic.(attribute(title).toUpperCase().indexOf

?

Hi list,
I'm wondering if I can have a generical function, that I can remove all
listeners registered for an object. Imagine a button with 10 listeners, and
I don`t need know which ones it are to remove. I simply call
removeListeners(dpo) and that function does all work.
Is there any way?
Hi Jason,
The error you're getting is actually syntatical. Here's what you wrote:
re.(attribute())
And what you should've done:
re.test(attribute())
Since re is an object of type RegExp, you want to call the method test() on
it, and I guess it will work then
Also, I believe this is more

I get the correct node (although I also get Warning 3594). If you are
tracing, you must do trace(xmlListSearch.toXMLString());
Also this is shorter:
var xmlListSearch:XMLList = test..topic.(re.test(@title));
