This is a question about AS3.0 split

[Choi24652308akbg]

I wrote the code as below, but the list is not separated and saved in the array sm.
What's wrong with my code?
Any help would be appreciated.

var sm:Array = [];

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://.............../Text/soundList.txt");
// txt file : "a,b,c,d,.........."
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
	var str:String = event.target.data;
	//trace(str);  // "a,b,c,d,..............."
	sm = str.split(",");  // comma
	//trace(sm);  // "a,b,c,d,..............."
}
trace(sm.length); // result => 0

in Animate

Is there any way to insert(or import) a fla file from another remote directory into the fla file?

I think, you check the result before assign a value to the array.
completeHandler() executes asynchronously with a big delay, so to check the actual result, AFTER the assignment, you need to put the trace() within the completeHandler() function, right after the line

sm = str.split(",");

Thank you so much.
"completeHandler() executes asynchronously with a big delay"
I would like to know why

sm is fine after completeHandler executes. but you're not checking sm's length in that completeHandler. 

when you check sm it is equal to  []. that is the problem, and this is the solution:

function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
	var str:String = event.target.data;
	//trace(str);  // "a,b,c,d,..............."
	sm = str.split(",");  // comma
	//trace(sm);  // "a,b,c,d,..............."
trace(sm.length); // result => 0
}

Thanks for the solution

you're welcome.

Hi.

Reading data from the file system usually takes seconds or minutes. So you can't rely on having the data you're requesting in the same tick.
