public static function isHighSurrogate(charCode:int):Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Returns true if the charCode argument is a high word in a surrogate pair. A surrogate pair represents a character with a code point that requires more than sixteen bits to express and thus requires a combination of two 16-bit words, a high surrogate and a low surrogate, to embody its code point.

This method can be used when processing a series of characters to ensure that you do not inadvertently divide a surrogate pair into incomplete halves.

Parameters

charCode:int — An integer that represents a character code. Character codes are usually represented in hexadecimal format. For example, the space character's character code can be represented by the number 0x0020.

Returns

Boolean — true if charCode is the high surrogate in a surrogate pair.

public static function isLowSurrogate(charCode:int):Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Returns true if the charCode argument is a low word in a surrogate pair. A surrogate pair represents a character with a code point that requires more than sixteen bits to express and thus requires a combination of two 16-bit words, a high surrogate and a low surrogate, to embody its code point.

This method can be used when processing a series of characters to ensure that you do not inadvertently divide a surrogate pair into incomplete halves.

Parameters

charCode:int — An integer that represents a character code. Character codes are usually represented in hexadecimal format. For example, the space character's character code can be represented by the number 0x0020.

Returns

Boolean — true if charCode is the low surrogate in a surrogate pair.

public static function isWhitespace(charCode:int):Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Returns true if charCode is a whitespace character.

Parameters
