Splitting an array into multiple variables

1

i know how to use arrays in a flash file but i’m not sure if i can split it into multiple from an input text box:

stop();
getcode = [_root.colorskin, _root.coloreyes, _root.colorwing, _root.eyes, _root.mouth];
function post() {
    dragonarray = [postcode.text];
    _root.thing = dragonarray.length;
    trace(_root.thing);
}

when it traces the code it says 1

:confused:

is it possible to split the input box text up like an array?
and split the array up into multiple variables like this:
input box text: 26112,39423,13998489,3,3
_root.variable1= 26112
_root.variable2= 39423
etc
etc…

can somebody help please?
