I think you may be correct. It's an option in the search of flash (the application), but not in actionscript itself. I was just hoping I was wrong. If it is a size issue, then some sort of dynamically linked library might be nice. If you want RegEx, you include it in. If not, then it just isn't included in the FLA/SWF. This can have a distinct advantage in the long run of allowing people to decouple all of actionscript if its not needed.Make some really tight flash files.
There is an add on that allows RegEx in Actionscript, but it's not 'official'. > > If it's ECMA 4 then it has RegEx, right? > > RegExp were actually introduced with JavaScript 1.2 (NN 4 and IE 4) and > improved with 1.5 (lazy quantifier, non capturing parenthesis, lookahead). > > As for RegExp in Flash, I don't think they are supported, long time ago I > read an something from a MM engineer explaining it would affect the player's > size.
