fromCharCode (String.fromCharCode method)
public static fromCharCode() : String
Returns a string comprising the characters represented by the Unicode values in the
parameters.
Returns
String - A string value of the specified Unicode character codes.
Example
The following example uses fromCharCode() to insert an @ character in the e-mail address:
var address_str:String = "dog"+String.fromCharCode(64)+"house.net";
trace(address_str); // output: dog@house.net
indexOf (String.indexOf method)
public indexOf(value:String, [startIndex:Number]) : Number
Searches the string and returns the position of the first occurrence of value found at or after
startIndex within the calling string. This index is zero-based, meaning that the first
character in a string is considered to be at index 0--not index 1. If value is not found, the
method returns -1.
Parameters
value:String - A string; the substring to search for.
startIndex:Number [optional] - An integer specifying the starting index of the search.
Returns
Number - The position of the first occurrence of the specified substring or -1.
Example
The following examples use indexOf() to return the index of characters and substrings:
var searchString:String = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.";
var index:Number;
index = searchString.indexOf("L");
trace(index); // output: 0
index = searchString.indexOf("l");
trace(index); // output: 14
index = searchString.indexOf("i");
