need some help on Flash

I am doing where a person can enter some text into a input text box.. It is multiline.. What I want to happen is the user can us # to do to the next line..

test # test
will be
test
test

Can anyone help me with this..

 

If its written in php you can always try the $variable = str_replace("#","<br>" $variable);

would that work? You have to be more specific and less abstract

 

I don't think that would be easy with Flash. For Multi-line fields its usually Enter that Works in Flash. I'll ask Some friends about this and let you know.

 

Thanks you

 

There is not a imple solution within flash because ActionScript Doesnt have simple replace function. Here is a simple function replace any text

var my_str:String = "One#Two#Three#Four";
function replace_txt(my_str:String) {
	var my_new_str:String = "";
	var my_arr:Array = my_str.split("#"); //You can change the character or string you want to use a a breaker
	for (i=0; i<my_arr.length; i++) {
		my_new_str += my_arr[i]+newline;
	}
	return my_new_str;
}
my_txt.text = replace_txt(my_str); // my_txt text field

I am going to show you guys and example of what I am talking about..

http://www.adultcomments.net/Generators/Grunge-Heart/grungeheartgen.swf

They use * to do a Hard Return.. I cant find that anywhere.. To learn how to do that at all..

 

I visited the example. unfortunately, This is not a place to explain all the functionalities of that app. But if you want to see how to swap "*" with a linebreak, please use following function.

var my_str:String = "One#Two#Three#Four";
function replace_txt(my_str:String) {
	var my_new_str:String = "";
	var my_arr:Array = my_str.split("*"); //You can change the character or string you want to use a a breaker
	for (i=0; i<my_arr.length; i++) {
		my_new_str += my_arr[i]+newline;
	}
	return my_new_str;
}
my_txt.text = replace_txt(my_str); // my_txt text field

Code (markup):

 

ok This is what I have..

//this is the variable for the dynamic box
var text = "Make your changes, copy to get your code!!" //if the text on the Input box is changed this event is called 
var my_str:String = "";
function replace_txt(my_str:String) {
	var my_new_str:String = "";
	var my_arr:Array = my_str.split("*"); //You can change the character or string you want to use a a breaker
	for (i=0; i<my_arr.length; i++) {
		my_new_str += my_arr[i]+newline;
	}
	return my_new_str;
}
iText.text = replace_txt(my_str); // my_txt text field



iText.onChanged = function() 
{ _root.text = "<center><font size='-1'><a href='http://www.mateable.com/'>Giving a new definition to love and friendship</a></font><br><embed src='" + lnpath + "vday.swf' FlashVars='&ms=" + ms + "' quality='high' wmode='transparent' width='385' height='380' name='Christian Bible' align='middle' allowScriptAccess='samedomain' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' /><a href='" + lnpath + "'>" + linktext + "</a></center>";
}

Code (markup):

I have two text boxes..

one is dynamic Text Var ms and instance Name iText

the other is input Text with the same VAR and Instance Name..

When i type in the input box it puts it on the dynamic Text so If i type in * it wont do anything..

 

You have made many mistakes from naming to refering, and many things. I just uploaded the corrected version at http://www.srilankaexpedition.com/christian_biblegen.rar

 

Thanks you for all of your help.
