Detecting the shake of a device can be used for gaming or for simply clearing form fields in a Flash app. In this video by Paul Trani, learn how to easily do just that.

Reversing a string is not something you might implement on a daily basis, however, having a handy way of doing so is always a great go to option. Here is a function that allows you to input a string of any length and it will then be outputted being reversed. This is definitely one function to add to your Flash utilities.

Enjoy!

Reverse Any Given String

function reverseString(tString:String):String {
var tmp_array:Array=tString.split("");
tmp_array.reverse();
var tmpString:String=tmp_array.join("");
return tmpString;
}
