Handling Strings

[Sjekke]

With a URL command in Flash i request his current URL in the form of

http://mywebspace/newmap/myflash.swf

i would like to cut off the swf at the end and replace it by
asp.

Can anybody give me a clear or understandeble tutorial about this?

many thx

Hi,

you have to use substring function, for example you have

SetVariable "url" ="http://mywebspace/newmap/myflash.swf "

SetVariable"tokeep"=substring ("url",0,24)

/*you keep the letters from the first one which is 0 (!) here it is the 'h' of http... to the 24th (included !) here it is the p of ...newmap.
*/

Then your variable 'keep' is http://mywebspace/newmap
so you can add whatever you want to it

for instance
SetVariable "newaddress"= tokeep & "/myflash2.swf"



Hope that helps
