var str:String=”  123456789    “;

Trace(str.length); //15
Trace(StringUtil.trim(str).length); //9

StringUtil.trim method removes all whitespace characters from the beginning and end of the specified string.

The StringUtil utility class has some more methods that will be more useful when you work with String objects within Flex:-)

Alert.show(“You are using flash version”+flash.system.capabilities.version.tostring());

this will give you the Flash Player Version installed in your system:-)

Mouse.hide()—–use this method when ever you want to hide windows default cursor

These methods are commonly used when user mouseover any video player,where we can hide the default window cursor:-)

<mx:Label text=”change cursor” useHandCursor=”true” mouseChildren=”false” buttonMode=”true”/>
