  Thank you very much for the script.I was looking for something like that

• sale

  or even simpler:

  return this.split(searchStr).join(replaceStr);

• Ain Tohvri

  Yes, why not.

• nathan

  thanks!

• Enes Tanrıöver

  thank you !

• Yehia

  it display “undefined”

• Ain Tohvri

  Yehia: as you can see, quite a few people have found it working and I can assure you it is. Check your implementation, it’s a trivial and straightforward approach.

• M.B.O

  thanks , But How do I use more than one word to replace it

• SparK

  String.prototype.replace = function(search, replacer):String{
  return this.split(search).join(replacer);
  }

• Plamen

  The script is for AS 3.0, not 2.0 :/

  This is why @Yehia gets “undefined”

• Ain Tohvri

  Plamen: This snippet was used in the AS2 Flash CMS framework and is certainly AS2. In AS3 all this is a bit simpler.

  should i create a as file ? if so , how to call it via php !! pls more explication

• Ain Tohvri

  The code in this post is ActionScript 2, a dialect of ECMAScript similar to JavaScript. It will not work in PHP.

  To change words within the text in PHP, you should use str_replace() function.

  For example:

  // The following code will output: You should eat pizza, beer, and ice cream every day $phrase = "You should eat fruits, vegetables, and fiber every day."; $wordsToReplace = array("fruits", "vegetables", "fiber"); $replacements = array("pizza", "beer", "ice cream"); $newphrase = str_replace($wordsToReplace, $replacements, $phrase);

  For a more complex solutions check preg_replace() although you should be aware that preg_replace() should be avoided whenever possible due to the performance. str_replace() is much faster.
