|
public static function hasUnresolvableTokens():Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
If the LoaderConfig.url property is not available, the replaceTokens() method will not
replace the server name and port properties properly.
Returns | Boolean — true if the LoaderConfig.url property is not available. Otherwise, false.
|
public static function isHttpsURL(url:String):Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Determines if the URL uses the secure HTTPS protocol.
Parameters

|
Returns | Boolean — true if the URL starts with "https://".
|
public static function isHttpURL(url:String):Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |

Parameters
| url:String — The URL to analyze.
|
Returns | Boolean — true if the URL starts with "http://", "https://", or "rtmp://".
|
public static function objectToString(object:Object, separator:String = "", encodeURL:Boolean):String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Enumerates an object's dynamic properties (by using a for..in loop)
and returns a String. You typically use this method to convert an ActionScript object to a String that you then append to the end of a URL.
By default, invalid URL characters are URL-encoded (converted to the %XX format).
For example:
var o:Object = { name: "Alex", age: 21 };
var s:String = URLUtil.objectToString(o,";",true);
trace(s);
Prints "name=Alex;age=21" to the trace log.
Parameters
| object:Object — The object to convert to a String.
|
| |
| separator:String (default = "property:value pair in the String.
|
| |
| encodeURL:Boolean — Whether or not to URL-encode the String.
|
Returns | String — The object that was passed to the method.
|
public static function replacePort(uri:String, newPort:uint):String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Returns a new String with the port replaced with the specified port.
If there is no port in the specified URI, the port is inserted.
This method expects that a protocol has been specified within the URI.
Parameters
| uri:String — String containing the URI in which the port is replaced.
|
| |
| newPort:uint — uint containing the new port to subsitute.
|
Returns | String — The URI with the new port.
|
public static function replaceProtocol(uri:String, newProtocol:String):String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Replaces the protocol of the
specified URI with the given protocol.
Parameters
| uri:String — String containing the URI in which the protocol
needs to be replaced.
|
| |
| newProtocol:String — String containing the new protocol to use.
|
Returns | String — The URI with the protocol replaced,
or an empty String if the URI does not contain a protocol.
|
public static function replaceTokens(url:String):String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Returns a new String with the port and server tokens replaced with
the port and server from the currently running application.
Parameters
| url:String — String containing the SERVER_NAME_TOKEN and/or SERVER_NAME_PORT

|
Returns | String — The URI with the port and server replaced.
|
public static function stringToObject(string:String, separator:String = "", decodeURL:Boolean):Object| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Returns an object from a String. The String contains name=value pairs, which become dynamic properties
of the returned object. These property pairs are separated by the specified separator.
This method converts Numbers and Booleans, Arrays (defined by "[]"),
and sub-objects (defined by "{}"). By default, URL patterns of the format %XX are converted
to the appropriate String character.
For example:
var s:String = "name=Alex;age=21";
var o:Object = URLUtil.stringToObject(s, ";", true);
Returns the object:
{ name: "Alex", age: 21 }.
Parameters
| string:String — The String to convert to an object.
|
| |
| separator:String (default = "name=value pairs in the String.
|
| |
| decodeURL:Boolean — Whether or not to decode URL-encoded characters in the String.
|
Returns | Object — The object containing properties and values extracted from the String passed to this method.
|
public static function urisEqual(uri1:String, uri2:String):Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Tests whether two URI Strings are equivalent, ignoring case and
differences in trailing slashes.
Parameters
| uri1:String — The first URI to compare.
|
| |
| uri2:String — The second URI to compare.
|
Returns | Boolean — true if the URIs are equal. Otherwise, false.
|
public static const SERVER_NAME_TOKEN:String = "{server.name}"| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The pattern in the String that is passed to the replaceTokens() method that
is replaced by the application's server name.
public static const SERVER_PORT_TOKEN:String = "{server.port}"| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
