Flash / Flex / ActionScript/String/char code

Converting a Character to a Character Code

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
        var band:String = "MC";
        trace(band.charCodeAt(1));
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Getting a Character Code: charCodeAt() takes an index within the string, then returns the character code for the character at that index.

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var sTitle:String = new String("ActionScript Bible");
       trace(sTitle.charCodeAt(12));  // Displays: 32

   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

The fromCharCode() method is a static method of the String class. returns a new string primitive value with the character that corresponds to the character code.

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       for(var i:Number = 0; i < 150; i++){
          trace(i + ": " + String.fromCharCode(i));
       }
   }
 }

}
