indexOf (String.indexOf method)
length (String.length property)
public length : Number
An integer specifying the number of characters in the specified String object.
Because all string indexes are zero-based, the index of the last character for any string x is
x.length - 1.
Example
The following example creates a new String object and uses String.length to count the
number of characters:
var my_str:String = "Hello world!";
trace(my_str.length); // output: 12
The following example loops from 0 to my_str.length. The code checks the characters
within a string, and if the string contains the @ character, true displays in the Output panel. If
it does not contain the @ character, then false displays in the Output panel.
function checkAtSymbol(my_str:String):Boolean {
for (var i = 0; i
