Character count in as3?

[Guest]

Hello guys,

I need some help making a program that count vowels.

The user inputs a sentece, then clicks a button and the OutputText.text=The number of vowels

I'm quiet sure where to start the function.

I've tried

trace(string.match(/[a|e|u|i|o]/gi).length);

but the output in this case renders to Flash CS and not to the Flash player or OutputText.text

use:

var n:int = string.match(/[a|e|u|i|o]/gi).length;

OutputText.text=n.toString();

Once again, thank you kglad!
