Hi everybody!
I have had alot of ideas for a chatroom but there's a few problems... i want to make sure certain words can't be said!
I don't want swearing, but I would like to just change the swearing to other things so that the message will still be sent and not just be annoying.
eg: F*** can be fudge
S*** can be Shoot
etc.
please tell me, and i don't want to have to be using PHP!!!
does this method work for you ?
on stage -
input textfield - instance name - inp
button - instance name - btn
PHP Code:exclWords = ["f*ck","sh*t","a*s"]; // fill in the blanks
inclWords = ["fudge","shoot","uss"];
btn.onRelease = function(){
findWords(inp.text);
};
function findWords(str){
temp = str.split(" ");
for(var v=0;v!=exclWords.length;v++){
for(var w=0;w!=temp.length;w++){
if(temp[w] == exclWords[v]){
str = str.split(temp[w]).join(inclWords[v]);
}
}
}
sendTxt(str);
};
function sendTxt(newStr){
trace(newStr);
};
thank you very much a_modified_dog
unless you are doing something, would you mind explaining the script?
i am new to arrays.
excluded words in array - exclWords
replacement words in array - inclWords
on button press -
send inp.text to function - findWords(inp.text);
split inp.text to array - temp
cycle thro' temp comparing against exclWords
if an exclWord is found, replace it with inclWord
when complete, send the new string to function sendTxt and display in output window.
thank u once again!
