Greetings,
I am trying to convert "letters" into a split string where I can call on
spacific points in the string.
_____________
letters = new String("Once upon a midnight dreary");
letter = letters.split("");
trace(letter[2]);
-----------------------
The above works fine, and returns "s", but when I put into a project I am
working on, it doesn't split the string! Instead, it puts all the text on
"letter[0]" !!! "letter[2]" is stated as "undefined" ! What am I doing
wrong?

You can download the fla here:

You forgot the space in your split ;)

letters = new String("Once upon a midnight dreary");
letter = letters.split(" ");
trace(letter[2]);

Thanks JRH, but I guess I worded my problem bad. I want each section of the
string to be a single letter. That's not the problem. The script in my above
post works exactly as I want it to... ALONE. The problem is that when I put the
same scripts in ANOTHER project im working on, it messes up, and puts all the
text on "letter[0]" .

hmmmm, Well something is conflicting with it within this movie, because I tried
it in another similar past project, and it worked fine. Im going to try and
rewrite the movie simpler and on one frame. It's probably something sloppy on
my part, thoe I've been at it for 2 days now, and have gone through it several
times to find the problem, with no luck. It's wierd that it would work one way
in one file and differenty in another. I'll post the solution if I ever find
one. Thanks JRH for taking the time out to help. What's so frustrating is that
I know when I get it to work, it will be awesome... the anxiety...

-If anyone else has experienced this same problem, please tell...

regards-Fredy

Lookie here :)

letters=new Array();
myString = "Once upon a midnight dreary";

for (i=0; i < myString.length; i++)

Well, there are several ways of doing it then.

letters = "Once upon a midnight dreary";
letter = new Array();
for (k=0;k<letters.length;k++) {
letter[k] = letters.charAt(k);
