I’ve got some dynamic text (from coldfusion) coming in to my flash movie and I need to turn what’s coming in into a bulleted list. right now it’s a list of features delimited by commas like this:

anodized aluminum deck construction, anodized aluminum t-rail, extra heavy vinyl, Nextwave electrical system, etc., etc.

Is this possible with actionscript?

thanks for any help!
