replaceText

programming flash

I have two text boxes,

  1. Instance “myinput”
  2. Instance “htmltext”

When user types something in “myinput” ( some basic text ) is automaticaly displayed in “htmltext”


function getIndexs() {
    if (Selection.getBeginIndex() != -1 && Selection.getEndIndex() != -1) {
        startIndex = Selection.getBeginIndex();
        endIndex = Selection.getEndIndex();
    }


    trace(_root.htmltext.text);
    _root.htmltext.text = myinput.htmlText;
}

I came a problem, i would like to replace “:(” with “sad.jpg”

Like str replace in php.
i tried with replaceText but wont work

Can any1 help me with this ?
Thank you,
