string replace in flash

How to replace loaded var. value like this one
"test1" into "test2" ?

Let me explain this a little bit, when I load variable I get this value
"test1"
I need something that`ll replace it to this variable value
"test2"

Hiya

Under what conditions do you want to change the variable? You could do this :

code:

---

if (x == "test1") {

x = "test2"

}

---

... which is pretty pointless. Depends on what you want to do with test1 and test2 and when you want it to change.

well that is not what I had in mind.. see
if I have one string with this value
"mystringtest1mystring"
So I need script that will work like convertor of every string with "test1" as a part of it`s value.
so my result after conversion will be
"mystringtest2mystring"

I hope you know what i mean, thanks!

If you familiar with AS2.0. Build a customized class as it is very useful in your future project:

code:

---

class SwapChar {

	public function SwapChar (){}

	public function swap(s:String,findS:String,replaceS:String):String  {

		return s.split(findS).join(replaceS);

	}

}

---

You can make this class as extend class to String Object.


otherwise, make it into a function:

code:

---

function swap(s,findS,replaceS){

   return s.split(findS).join(replaceS);

}

---

swap(s,findS,replaceS)
s = string to be modified
findS = string bloack to be identified
replaceS = string to replace located string block (findS)

In you case
swap("mystringtest1mystring", "test1", "test2");


This serves exactly the same as string.replace() in VB

That is what I`m looking for, but is there a version for AS 1, I`m using flash MX ?

The swap function, described above, will work in AS 1.
