The issue is that you can't specify a replacement like that. You are effectively replacing every match with "$1".toUpperCase(), which (since .toUpperCase() doesn't do anything with '$' or '1') just replaces it with '$1'--the original lowercase match. What you want is to use the second version of replace, where you provide a function to get the replacement (see examples at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/String.html#replace() ). -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com

I've tried several variations of: var s:String = t.replace(/-([a-z])/g, "$1".toUp
