Just so you know there’s no ‘t’ in Nazi or ‘e’ in ‘grammar’ (admittedly spelling not grammar), nothing like undermining your own argument(!)

Hi! Great blog.

Just so you know, you used “you’re” where you should have used “your”.

“NOTE: you instead of “substring(0,5)” you can use a shorthand of “substr(0,5)”.”

Hey, just wanted to point out something in case anyone was using this for a reference. substr() and substring() do two different things.

var str:String = “A test string”;
trace( str.substr( 2, 4 ) ); // traces “test”
trace( str.substring( 2, 4 ) ); // traces “tes”

“Thanks! have you seen a way to calculate how many rows a textfield has? im trying to reveal each line one at a time but cant seem to figure out how that could be done.”

You can use the numLines property on any TextField to find out how many lines of text it contains.

A better book to start with is Learning ActionScript 3.0 by Shupe and Rosser (O’Reilly). Awesome book for those getting their feet wet with AS3.
