Download and decompress the .zip file and navigate to the folder for your version of ActionScript to access the sample. See also substr (String.substr method), substring (String.substring method) split (String.split method) public split(delimiter:String, [limit:Number]) : Array Splits a String object into substrings by breaking it wherever the specified delimiter parameter occurs and returns the substrings in an array. If you use an empty string ("") as a delimiter, each character in the string is placed as an element in the array. If the delimiter parameter is undefined, the entire string is placed into the first element of the returned array. Parameters delimiter:String - A string; the character or string at which my_str splits. limit:Number [optional] - The number of items to place into the array. Returns Array - An array containing the substrings of my_str. Example The following example returns an array with five elements: var my_str:String = "P,A,T,S,Y"; var my_array:Array = my_str.split(","); for (var i = 0; i
output: P A T S Y The following example returns an array with two elements, "P" and "A": var my_str:String = "P,A,T,S,Y"; var my_array:Array = my_str.split(",", 2); trace(my_array); // output: P,A The following example shows that if you use an empty string ("") for the delimiter parameter, each character in the string is placed as an element in the array: var my_str:String = new String("Joe"); var my_array:Array = my_str.split(""); for (var i = 0; i
