FLASH: UrlEncode actionscript.

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi flashers,


While we are talking about URLencoding, I generated a short actionscript to

do it for me. I had major problems getting the GET and POST functions to

work, so I stabilised it by hard coding the URL query codes using this

actionscript.

Comment: attach your text variable here

Set Variable: "text2Encode" = yourTextVariableHere

Set Variable: "xx" = 1

Set Variable: "partText" = ""

Loop While (xx<=Length(text2Encode))

Set Variable: "char2Check" = Ord(Substring(text2Encode, xx, 1))

If ((char2Check>63 and char2Check<91) or (char2Check>96 and char2Check<123)

or (char2Check>47 and char2Check<58) or (char2Check>43 and char2Check<47) or

(char2Check>39 and char2Check<43) or char2Check=33 or char2Check=95)

Set Variable: "partText" = partText&Chr(char2Check)

Else

Set Variable: "bitOne" = int(char2Check/16)

Set Variable: "bitTwo" = char2Check-(16*bitOne)

If (bitTwo>9)

Set Variable: "alphaBit" = bitTwo-9

Set Variable: "alphabet" = "ABCDEF"

Set Variable: "bitTwo" = Substring(alphabet, alphaBit,1)

End If

Set Variable: "partText" = partText&"%"&bitOne&bitTwo

End If

Set Variable: "xx" = xx+1

End Loop

Comment: here is the result

Set Variable: "encodedText" = partText

Hope somebody will find it useful.
