RE: [SPAM] RE: [Flashcoders] String Empowerment
Here's toTitleCase:
String.prototype.toTitleCase = function() {
var a = this.length;
if (a == 0) return "";
var c;
var w;
var s = "";
while (--a -(-1)) {
c = this.charCodeAt(a);
w = this.charAt(a - 1);
w = (w == " " || w == "\n" || w == "\r" || w == "\t" ||
a == 0);
if ((c > 64 && c < 91 && !w) || (c > 96 && c < 123 &&
w)) c = c ^ 32;
s = String.fromCharCode(c) + s;
}
return s;
};

RE: [SPAM] RE: [Flashcoders] String Empowerment
If you REALLY wanted to be fancy, you could have it accept an array of
words *not* to capitalize (unless they are the first word). For example:
var lowerCaseWords:Array = ["a", "an", "and", "of", "the"];
trace("a tale of two cities".toTitleCase(lowerCaseWords));
trace("THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER".toTitleCase(lowerCaseWords));
// Output:
// A Tale of Two Cities
// The Prince and the Pauper

Title Case in Word is different than capitalize. Title Case capitalizes
every word in a string. Capitalize only capitalizes the first character
of the string. However, toTitleCase() would be a handy method. I'll
code it.

Re: [SPAM] RE: [Flashcoders] String Empowerment
Dear Steven Sacks,
I greatly appreciate the efforts. Long time back we started "ActionScript
Standard Library" project in Sourceforge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/fasl) unfortunately it was discontinued :(
On those days I wrote "Code.Flash MX: String.changeCase(Title || Sentence ||
Toggle)"
http://www.shockwave-india.com/blog/?archive=2002_11_01_archive.xml#83915217
Just a quick note on capitalize()
String.toUpperCase() and String.toLowerCase() are part of ActionScript 1
since Flash 5

toUpperCase (String.toUpperCase method)
public toUpperCase() : String
Returns a copy of the String object, with all lowercase characters converted
to uppercase. The original value is unchanged.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5
Returns
String - A string.
Example
The following example creates a string with all lowercase characters and
then creates a copy of that string using toUpperCase():
var lowerCase:String = "lorem ipsum dolor";
var upperCase:String = lowerCase.toUpperCase();
trace("lowerCase: " + lowerCase); // output: lowerCase: lorem ipsum dolor
trace("upperCase: " + upperCase); // output: upperCase: LOREM IPSUM DOLOR
An example is also found in the Strings.fla file in the ActionScript samples
folder. The following list gives typical paths to this folder:
a.. Windows: boot drive\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\Samples and
Tutorials\Samples\ActionScript
b.. Macintosh: Macintosh HD/Applications/Macromedia Flash 8/Samples and
Tutorials/Samples/ActionScript

Pseudocode examples of usage:
"hello".capitalize() > "Hello"
"HELLO".capitalize() > "Hello"
"123ABC".capitalize() > "123abc"
