charAt (String.charAt method)
public charAt(index:Number) : String
Returns the character in the position specified by the parameter index. If index is not a
number from 0 to string.length - 1, an empty string is returned.
This method is similar to String.charCodeAt() except that the returned value is a character,
not a 16-bit integer character code.
Parameters
index:Number - An integer specifying the position of a character in the string. The first
character is indicated by 0, and the last character is indicated by my_str.length-1.
Returns
String - The character at the specified index. Or an empty String if the specified index is
outside the range of this String's indeces.
Example
In the following example, this method is called on the first letter of the string "Chris":
var my_str:String = "Chris";
var firstChar_str:String = my_str.charAt(0);
trace(firstChar_str); // output: C
