Flash Tutorial - Excess Space Remover

Free Flash Tutorial

If you have ever wanted to remove excessive spaces from a string, whether it be a text box, variable, xml loaded file or etc. Well now you can, this handy script will remove excessive spaces (That's tab spaces, enter or new line spaces and normal spaces/same as space bar spaces.) from a sentence.

It will convert to sentence like:

"This      has      too      many      spaces      in       it."

To sentence like this:

"This has normal spaces in it."

I have tried to make this script work logically, by that I mean it will allow a maximum of two enter spaces between words as that seamed the most logical thing. It will also do the following:

• Where there are one or more Tab spaces and normal spaces together, it will leave only the one Tab space.
• Where there are one or more Tab spaces and enter spaces together, it will leave only the one Enter space
• Where there are one or more Tab spaces, normal spaces and Enter spaces together, it will leave only the one Enter space

Again following in each case, the most logical thing to do. To get a better understanding of how it works why not give it a try, use some of the examples if you wish by pressing the example button on the left (their are 5 examples available by pressing this button more than once).

Example: Download the Flash file  Int 157a

Examples: Try typing text with spaces in the text box.
