actionscript

I've a regex that matches comma separated numbers with an optional two digit decimal part in a given multiline text. /(?<=\s|^)\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d{2})?(?=\s|$)/m It matches strings like 1, 12, 12.34, 12,345.67 etc successfully. How can I modify it to match a number with only the decimal part like .23 ? EDIT: Just to clarify - I would like to modify the regex so that it matches 12 , 12.34 and .34 And I am looking for 'stand alone' valid numbers. i.e., number-strings whose boundaries are either white space or start/end of line/string. This: \d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d\d)?|\.\d\d matches all of the

I have BigDecimal objects serialized with BlazeDS to Actionscript. Once they hit Actionscript as Number objects, they have values like: 140475.32 turns into 140475.31999999999998 How do I deal with this? The problem is that if I use a NumberFormatter with precision of 2, then the value is truncated to 140475.31 . Any ideas? Fraser This is my generic solution for the problem (I have blogged about this here ) : var toFixed:Function = function(number:Number, factor:int) { return Math.round(number * factor)/factor; } For example: trace(toFixed(0.12345678, 10)); //0.1 Multiply 0.12345678 by 10 ;

I have a Flex file upload script that uses URLRequest to upload files to a server. I want to add support for http authentication (password protected directories on the server), but I don't know how to implement this - I assume I need to extend the class somehow, but on how to I'm a little lost. I tried to modify the following (replacing HTTPService with URLRequest), but that didn't work. private function authAndSend(service:HTTPService):void{ var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder(); encoder.encode("someusername:somepassword"); service.headers = {Authorization:"Basic " + encoder

Let's say I have an Array of numbers: [2,3,3,4,2,2,5,6,7,2] What is the best way to find the minimum or maximum value in that Array? Right now, to get the maximum, I am looping through the Array, and resetting a variable to the value if it is greater than the existing value: var myArray:Array /* of Number */ = [2,3,3,4,2,2,5,6,7,2]; var maxValue:Number = 0; for each (var num:Number in myArray) { if (num > maxValue) maxValue = num; } This just doesn't seem like the best performing way to do this (I try to avoid loops whenever possible). The theoretical answers from everyone else are all neat,
