The movie the script is in gets loaded into another movie. I can trace
out _root.cat_color[0] etc... with no problems, even doing so in the for
loop outputs proper values for _root.cat_colors[i]. If i trace out
tempColor.length after the split, it always comes back undefined, thus
the loop after that never happens.
trace("String: "+_root.cat_colors[0]);
// traces out bob,jim,john
var tempColor:Array = _root.cat_colors[0].split(",");
trace("Total: "+tempColor.length);
// traces out undefined when it should be 3

Just took your code and plonked it in a new .fla and it works for me. Is
anything else happening in the movie or any included movies?

Subject: [Flashcoders] Wierd split
Im having a wierd problem with using .split on an array. I create an
array 3 frames before in the same timeline like so:
_root.cat_colors = new Array();
_root.cat_colors[0] = "bob,john,betty";
Then 2 frames down the timeline I run a loop like so:
for (i=0; i<_root.cat_colors.length; i++) {
trace("String: "+_root.cat_colors[i]);
// The string traces properly here ex. bob,jim,john etc...
var tempColor:Array = _root.cat_colors[i].split(",");
trace("Total: "+tempColor[i]);
// traces out undefined for the next loop never happens
for (j=0; j<tempColor.length; j++) {
trace("Color: "+tempColor[j]);
}
}
Anyone know why this doesnt work? is there another way to achieve this?
If i create the array on the same frame as the loop, everything works
like it should.
Thanks!
