I don't know...you could try doing a string.split(",") call and then
putting your string back together from the array it generates....

This works wonderfully-- the only problem is that this is an event that
updates often, and it's bogging down the movie A LOT.

What is happening:: user drags mc unto an area. mc triggers addition of
item into an array. array prints into a text file (it reads like a story,
so the commas are removed).

Every time I drop the mc unto the target area the whole movie freezes for a
second.

Is there a less processor intensive (fast?) way of doing this?

Thanks so much!!
Olga
