Splitting strings

programming flash

Hi there,

I’m having a big issue getting a string to split into two pieces, and I can’t for the life of me work out why. This is a function that is run, with the midText var, being a number between 0-100, spat out from a loader. I’ve traced it, and it seems fine, but my splitter function just wont work!

The function works fine if you simple define a var in the code

function splitter(){
	midText.toString();
	firstSpot = midText.slice(0,1);
	secondSpot = midText.slice(1,2);
}

I basically just need to get the percent loaded split into 2 seperate text fields

Anyone ?
