Search and Replace a String in AS2 and AS3

What an incredibly useful bit of code! Thanks to “the Pope’s Flash Blog:”

function strReplace($str:String, $search:String, $replace:String):String

{

return $str.split($search).join($replace);

}

“The ‘split’ function splits the string at the word ($search) you’re searching for. And the ‘join’ inserts the new word ($replace) between the elements, concatenates them, and returns the resulting string.”
