funny, because two years ago I wrote something similar in AS2. But there wasn’t any RegExp features…that was fun :)

Cool Util Mims, thanks. I’ve seen some people pass their token values from the query string, which could compromise an app’s security. You didn’t do it but I’ve seen it done; usually with ajax though.

Wow! Thanks for that. I guess I should have looked closer before writing this.
I guess the way I’ve done it is a little bit nicer because it lets you insert data without being aware of what order it will appear in the string but that’s still good to know.

a similar feature is supported by the original ResourceManagerImpl class by Adobe: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/resources/ResourceManagerImpl.html#getString()

If a parameters Array is passed to this method, the parameters in it are converted to Strings and then substituted, in order, for the placeholders “{0}”, “{1}”, and so on, in the String before it is returned.

So you can use
receivedMessage=At {0}, you received a message from {1}.
ResourceManager.getInstance().getString( “myBundle”, “receivedMessage”, [ "11:49", "Mims" ] )
