character index?
Thanks

Does this not work for you?
// Change the first instance only
var myPattern:RegExp = /sh/;
// Change all instances
//var myPattern:RegExp = /sh/g;
var str:String = "She sells seashells by the seashore.";
trace(str.replace(myPattern, "sch"));
// She sells seaschells by the seashore.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Equivalent of setCharAt to change a character
in a string
Probably something really simple but can't for the life of me recall
the syntax to change a particular character of a string.
For example if I have the word "Flash" and want to change the letter
"a" to an "e", I was hoping there was a function like setCharAt(2,
"e");
Btw I am coding in AS3.
Thanks
