Array

1

How would one go about loading an external array into flash?

2

from where? You can create arrays from loaded text files etc… Just wondering where you will be pulling your array from?

3

I will be pulling the array from an asp file on a server.

4

TO load variables threw Asp file in flash u can use

loadVariables(“data.asp”, _level0);

but i dont have idea how to get array variable threw asp.

5

have asp output the array as a delimited string then use String.split() to parse the string into an array.

say it was string “arrayString” delimited by “:”:


loader = new LoadVars();
loader.onLoad = function(){
   _root.importedArray = this.arrayString.split(":");
}
loader.load("gimmeThatString.asp");

Thanks, works great.

If you have some time take a look at my post called “parse of the array”

Its the next step.
