hi klaus,

i just wanna inform you that subtxt doesn't work on flash.
this simple example works correctly in html5, but output an empty string in flash.

Code

set(a,"hello");
		trace(a);
		subtxt(a,a,2);
		trace(a);

Hi,

thanks for the note!

Sorry, I've missed that - the reason is that the underlying substr function has different default values for the length parameter in JS and AS3.

and in AS3 (Flash) it's a large number by default (using there undefined as length parameter causes that problem):

That will be fixed in the next release.

Best regards,
Klaus
