like - replace the last character with something else?

for more information - look up the String class here: [adobe livedocs](http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00002708.html)

```auto

var str:String = "asdfasdf";
// the substr method will take all characters starting at index 0 up to the last character minue one.
var strreplace:String = str.substr(0,-1)+"Q"
trace(strreplace); // output: asdfasdQ

```
