Split() external text by return?

1

Hi,

I got a external .txt with

delay=50&
&bannerText=line 1
line 2
line 3
&eof=true

Now is it possible to split &bannerText so i get something like

bannerText = [“line 1”, “line 2”, “line 3”];

So i split by “return” ?

i’m not sure exactly what you mean. what do you want the end flash product to look like?

hmm,

i rewritten my external text file to
delay=50&
&bannerText=line 1|line 2|line 3
&eof=true

and used
bannerTextArray = this.bannerText.split ("|");

what i am trying to do is a simple banner with the lines scrolling from down - up - pause and then the next line.

Yes it is possible.
If your textfile looks like this:

bannerText=this
is
your
text&

Then use this code:

	var banner_text = new LoadVars();
	banner_text.onLoad = function(success) {
		if (success) banner_array = this.bannerText.split("
")
	};
	banner_text.load("textfile.txt");

thnks

i was looking for ("
") didn’t knew that is equal to the “return” button. gonna rewrite it back and see if i can make it work.

btw i notice that when i use
&delay=50&
…
instead of

delay=50&
…

delay is seen as a string instead of a number is this right?

Both ways should return a string.
If you want to use it as a number, use:

parseInt(this.delay)
