I'm fairly new to the ActionScript language and I was wondering how I can add line breaks in a dynamic text field.
I have text set to appear in the text box through an array, but some of the questions are much longer than some of the others. This means that some or most of the text has gone off the screen.
I'm looking for something or the same thing/effect as the html <br> tag.
Any answers are appreciated and thank you for your time.

You can use the escape sequence \n to insert a new line into your text:
var textField:TextField = new TextField();
textField.text = "Line\nBreak";
addChild(textField);

The Firefox file sessionstore-backups/recovery.jsonlz4 contains information about the current Firefox windows in (compressed) JSON format. This is a simplified format representative of that file:
{
"index": 2,
"entries": [
{
"title": "Foo bar 0",
"url": "https://example.com/bar"
},
{
"title": "Foo bar 1",
"url": "https://example.com/bar"
},
{
"title": "Foo bar 2",
"url": "https://example.com/bar"
}
]
}
The index field represents the currently-displayed history item per tab. Being 1-indexed, in the example above it represents the "Foo bar 1" entry.
How can I use that value in jq to get that tab?
For testing on your own system, the following bash line will get you to this point on most modern Linux systems:
lz4jsoncat ~/.mozilla/firefox/t6e99qbe.default-release/sessionstore-backups/recovery.jsonlz4 | jq '.windows[0].tabs' | jq 'sort_by(.lastAccessed)[-1]'
This returns the most recent tab, but with all history items in the entries array. As the user could have navigated back in the history, we need the index value to determine which entry to return. Piped through gron, it looks like this:
json = {};
json.attributes = {};
json.entries = [];
json.entries[0] = {};

Just index entries by index minus one?
.entries[.index - 1]
Online demo
The last item in entries is not necessarily the tab that was opened. [.index - 1] only works if user_pref("browser.sessionstore.max_serialize_forward", 0); cf. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/session_restore#Browser_settings
So what I have is , I have 20 questions and 5 answers of these questions , What I want to achieve is to get the answers uniquely , there will be
" a , b , c, d, e "
to choose for every question.
Everytime user enters the quiz , all the questions and answers will be loaded uniqely.
My main problem is I cant get unique answers ,
For example , for question 1
What is the day
I end up with same answers
a ) monday b) tuesday c) monday d)thursday e) saturday.....
I cant load different uniqe answers..
how is that possible , I tried splice array but it only makes things messed up.
You can do something like this..
var anwers:Array = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"];
var selectedAnswers:Array = new Array(5); // array for selected answers
var tmp:Number = Math.floor(Math.random*5);
var correct:String = answers[0]; // let "Monday" be the correct answer
selectedAnswers[tmp] = correct; // correct answer set to a random position
for(var i:Number=0; i<5; i++){
tmp=Math.floor(Math.random*5);
if(selectedAnswers[i].equals(correct)) continue; //skip for the correct answer
if(selectedAnswers.indexOf(answers[tmp])<0){ // set answer if not present already
selectedAnswers[i] = answers[tmp];
} else {
i--; // loop again if answer is set earlier
}
}
Above will be completely random, but may take some time to select the last elements..
The following method will be quite fast, but not fully random
var anwers:Array = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"];
var selectedAnswers:Array = new Array(5); // array for selected answers
var tmp:Number = Math.floor(Math.random*5);
var correctIndex:Number = 0; // let "Monday" be the correct answer
var correct:String = answers[correctIndex];
selectedAnswers[tmp] = correct; // correct answer set to a random position
var j:Number = correctIndex; // temporary index
var offset:Number = 2; // unique for this answer set
// so that the answers won't overlap for 5 choices
for(var i:Number=0; i<4; i++){ // not completely random (yet give random answers for specific cases)
tmp++;
if(tmp==5) tmp = 0;
j += offset;
if(j>answers.length) j -= answers.length;
selectedAnswers[tmp] = answers[j];
}
This assigns values from answers to selectedAnswers starting from a random index;
I'm creating a game in AS3.
I've got a toolbar with a string for money, one for happiness and one for tourists.
The happiness is coded like that :
var happyString:String = "0";
var happyNumber = Number(happyString);
bonheur.text = String(happyString);
trace(happyString);
I'd like the "happy" value depends on two variables (invisibles for the player).
A variable "confort" and a variable "distraction".
And the "happy" value would be = ("confort"+"distraction")/2
I don't really know how to do it though...
I did that :
var confortString:String = "0";
var confortNumber = Number(confortString);
var distractionString:String = "0";
var distractionNumber = Number(distractionString);
stageRef.addEventListener("PiscineBuilt", piscineVariables, false, 0, true);
private function piscineVariables(event):void{
confortNumber = Number(confortString) +3;
trace(confortNumber);
distractionNumber = Number(distractionString) +20;
trace(distractionNumber);
}
First, I don't think the "confort" and "distraction" values are added each time the function is called...
Second, How I can do in order to have the value "happy" (which is visible for the player in the toolbar) equal to ("confort"+"distraction")/2
var happyString:String = distractionNumber + confortNumber ;
var happyNumber = Number(happyString);
bonheur.text = String(happyString);
trace(happyString);
??
Thank you for your help !
EDIT
So, here I am now :
var confort:Number = 0;
var distraction:Number = 0;
var happy:Number = 0;
happy=(confort+distraction)/2;
bonheur.text=String(happy);
stageRef.addEventListener("PiscineBuilt", piscineVariables, false, 0, true);
private function piscineVariables(event):void{
confort+=10;
distraction+=30;
trace(confort);
trace(distraction);
}
GOOD:
Forgot to change the value of my bonheur.text :
bonheur.text = String( Number(bonheur.text ) +(confort+distraction)/2 );
Why do you store strings and make numbers dependant on them? You just do:
var confort:Number = 0;
var distraction:Number = 0;
var happy:Number = 0;
And whenever your numbers are updated, you should also update the text in bonheur:
happy=(confort+distraction)/2; // making an average is as simple as this, if you're not using strings!!!
bonheur.text=String(happy);
I want to implement an alogorithm/validation. How can I find out if a string contains a specific character more than 6 times in Flex ?
There are 2 ways, I can think of:
Use RegExp and .replace() like this:
var ch:String = "a"; //Character, that must be checked
var text:String = "This is an example to show how many times '"+ch+"' occured.";
//Matches non-`ch` characters
var regexp:RegExp = new RegExp("[^"+ch+"]","g");
//Replacing non-`ch` characters with empty string
var timesOccured:Number = text.replace(regexp,"").length;
trace(text, ": " ,timesOccured );
Use RegExp and .match() like this:
var ch:String = "a"; //Character, that must be checked
var text:String = "This is an example to show how many times '"+ch+"' occured.";
//Matches `ch` characters
var regexp:RegExp = new RegExp(ch,"g");
var matches:Array = text.match(regexp);
var timesOccured:Number = 0;
//`matches` can be 'null', so we are performing additional check
if( matches ){
timesOccured = matches.length;
}
trace(text, ": " ,timesOccured );
Now when you have timesOccured, you could easily do your validation:
if( timesOccured > 6 ){
//Do some stuff
}else{
//Do other stuff
}
Warning: If your ch is a special character for Regular Expression, like a .,+,(,],\,etc..., you need to escape it, before passing it to regexp variable:
ch = ch.replace(new RegExp("[.*+?|()\\[\\]{}\\\\]", "g"), "\\$&");
a simpler alternative to regular expressions can be the following:
var str:String = "This is an example to show how many...";
//find occurrences for character 'a'
trace("Ocurrences:" + str.split('a').length-1);
Does anyone know how to get all the items that are flagged inside the Inbox using Microsoft Exchange Web-Services?
Apparently they are neither inside Tasks folder (even though they appear there in Outlook), nor do they have IsReminderSet set to true.
Following attempts either return only appointments or true tasks only, but not flagged messages:
var msgsView = new ItemView(100);
var msgsFilter = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(ItemSchema.IsReminderSet, true);
var flagged = exSvc.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, msgsFilter, msgsView);
or
var taskView = new ItemView(100);
var tasks = exSvc.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Tasks, taskView);
neither work.
I know this question is old, but I just found list sample code which looks like it might do the trick (I haven't tested it myself yet)
source: http://independentsoft.de/exchangewebservices/tutorial/findmessageswithflag.html
IsEqualTo restriction1 = new IsEqualTo(MessagePropertyPath.FlagStatus, "1"); //FlagStatus.Complete
IsEqualTo restriction2 = new IsEqualTo(MessagePropertyPath.FlagStatus, "2"); //FlagStatus.Marked
Or restriction3 = new Or(restriction1, restriction2);
FindItemResponse response = service.FindItem(StandardFolder.Inbox
, MessagePropertyPath.AllPropertyPaths, restriction3);
for (int i = 0; i < response.Items.Count; i++)
{
if (response.Items[i] is Message)
{
Message message = (Message)response.Items[i];
Console.WriteLine("Subject = " + message.Subject);
Console.WriteLine("FlagStatus = " + message.FlagStatus);
Console.WriteLine("FlagIcon = " + message.FlagIcon);
Console.WriteLine("FlagCompleteTime = " + message.FlagCompleteTime);
Console.WriteLine("FlagRequest = " + message.FlagRequest);
Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------------------");
}
}
