Removing spaces from a string is really easy in Actionscript 3. One method is to simply convert the string to an array using the String.split() function using a space as the delimiter. Then you can use the Array.join function to put it all back together again without the spaces.

Comic-Con 2011 Can Kiss My Ass
July 28th, 2011 No Comments
I realize that this is completely off subject, but I am so pissed at Comic-con that I must rant.
First of all, there are just too many people, period. I went to the convention for the first time about 4 years ago, and there were a lot of people then. I had no problems getting into see my favorite panels back then. It was quite an enjoyable experience which I recommended to all of my friends!
A Simple Pause Function in Actionscript 3
June 1st, 2011 No Comments
Just a quick function that you can use in your library of tricks to simulate pausing in Actionscript 3.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | public static function pause(timeInSeconds:int, functionToCall:Function):void { var timer:Timer = new Timer(timeInSeconds * 1000); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, callFunction, false, 0, true); timer.start(); function callFunction(event:TimerEvent):void { timer.stop(); timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, callFunction); timer = null; functionToCall(); } } |
The function takes 2 arguments:
timeInSeconds – how many seconds to wait before calling the function
functionToCall – the function to call after the given time has passed
How to ‘smooth’ an FLV / F4V video for Scaling
January 18th, 2011 No Comments
Have you noticed that your embedded Flash video looks like crap if you scale your flash file up or down?
A lot of people don’t realize this, but you can actually apply smoothing to flash video, just as you can to a bitmap image.
Easily sort an Array of Strings: Longest to Shortest Word
December 12th, 2010 No Comments
So let’s say you are making some sort of a game or program in Actionscipt 3 that requires you to sort words in order from longest to shortest. for example:
1 | var word:Array = new Array("this", "is", "a", "list", "of", "randomly","chosen","words", "to", "sort"); |
if you try something like:
1 | trace(word.sort()); |
you will get the following:
a,chosen,is,list,of,randomly,sort,this,to,words
