Seperating digits using flash substrings

[Brorobin56]

Hello All.

I am trying to retrieve data from a server and display it in a font that does not space dynamically the way that my boss, the art director wants it to look. The server will send me 2 and three digit numbers thaty need to be displayed, but because of graphical issues, each digit (first, second, or third) needs to be placed in different dynamic text boxes. I asked the programmer to break up the number in asp and send it as three different variables for me to rearrange in flash but this is a no go. SO i need someone to show me how to "seperate the digits using substings" any takers?

any help would be appreciated.

thanks.

String.substr() is the function you want. It is pretty strait forward to use. Here is a quick link I found on macromedia'a site on its syntax. Here
