Is there a script which will check if a certain text or number is in a value. I am adding a ip blocker onto my flash document, so let say I want to block a user with ip of ‘100.200.30.4’ and I want an actionscript that checks if the ip address contains 100.200, if it does, it will block the user. How do I do that?
