Millie,


As far as I can see, you're right; the last sentence in the manual is

incorrect.


text="hello you";

letter=text.split("");

for (i=0;i<letter.length;i++) {

  trace(" letter[" + i + "]: " + letter[i]);

}


returns --> letter[0]: hello you


(not letter[0]: h, letter[1]: e, etc)


and that sure looks like an empty string delimiter to me.


I'm sure you know this already, but you could get every letter into an

array element with this if you want:


nletter = new array();

for (i=0;i<text.length;i++) {

  nletter[i] = text.substr(i,1);

  trace(" nletter[" + i + "]: " + nletter[i]);

}


Regards,

Helen
