I want it to match the expression “lol” in a sentance… I entered “lol 234234” for the main string for a test (remove the "`s, their not part of the expression) and I put the expression as “lol”.

I didn’t touch parameter or flags, because I’m not really sure I know what they are heh :).

I guess it works because I got :  
String.match(expression): true  
[0] = lol

The only problem is how do I put it in flash… I have no clue, and when I did it told me there are syntax errors…

Also, how would I add expressions with it like : a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p, etc… so if he says a, or b, or c etc it would match it.

Heh this is confusing.

Please help if you can :-\

p.s. someone posted the link in my other thread

I don’t get it really :\

All I want it really to do is to play a sound when a, or b, or c, or d, to z is typed in a textbox, it would sound a wav file…
