As far as I know the size issue belong to the Flash Player, basically, in order to support RegExp, the Flash Player should integrate a full RegExp interpreter. It's the same reason why XPath isn't supported. > There is an add on that allows RegEx in Actionscript, but it's not 'official'. I remember seeing at least 2-3 RegExp libraries implemented in Actionscript, but I don't use Flash myself, I just try to follow things to interact with the Flash geeks :-) ---------------------------- Massimo Foti Certified Dreamweaver MX Developer Certified Advanced ColdFusion MX Developer http://www.massimocorner.com/ ---------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
