I don't think that will accomplish what you think it will accomplish. If you
are using Flash MX (not 2004), the case of the variable name is irrelevant,
so such conversion would be pointless. If you are using Flash MX 2004, case
IS relevant and performing such an operation would NOT convert the variable
name, it would create a NEW one with the new case, distinct and separate
from the old one.

That's different. That's changing the VALUE stored IN the variable, not the
variable name.

And that would be simply:

myVar = myVar.toUpperCase();

Hi All,
I know I could probably figure this out with trial and error, but kinda in a
rush.

I need to convert a variable to all uppercase. I think I do this by converting
to a string then back to a variable. Using Flash MX.
Appreciate any code clips.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if explained myself well enough. I just need to convert a variable
that is created from a user input to all uppercase. So if a user types in "My
Name" the variable is converted to "MY NAME".

I thought this had to be done using the string.toUpperCase function
