Loading data into flash array from an XML file

programming flash
1

Hi,

To keep things simple I will just ask the question verses explaining why I want this functionality.

Say I have:

var sString:String = “1,2,3,4,5,6”
var aArray:Array = new Array(sString)

When I trace the aArray.length, obviously it is 1. What I would like is if aArray would see the string as if I did this:

var aArray:Array = new Array(“1”,“2”,“3”,“4”,“5”,“6”)

I understand that I could run a for loop on the string and with each iteration put in the data, but this seems sloppy, is there a better way?

Thanks,

waffe
