i'm making a game in flash 5 and i want to create a text effect in such away that a variable can be displayed in the form of a series of video clips beside each other each with a png of a letter inside them.
to do this i want to have some code that will split
message = "hello"
in to
ch1 = "h"
ch2 = "e"
ch3 = "l"
ch4 = "l"
ch5 = "o"
i know there's someway to do this with arrays but i'm not too sure. I quite experienced with actionscript but it's the most advanced launguage i know and arrays is something new to me.
