Hello friends!!!

I need to count the numbers of letters of a _root.something (exemple: String="something" to get Number=9, or something like that) and with this number I can use it in a If condition.

Thanks for your supply.

Try:

mystring = "something"
X = LEN(mystring)

X should be 9.

You might be able to just do:

X = LEN("something")

Hey man!!
Thanks but it does not work. Maybe I am not using it in the right way.

Is it case sensitive? Try Len and not LEN? That's the VBA function. Maybe the script function is different. I'll have to check the docs.

I think he meant in Flash and not VB   

This will return the number of your strings length:

MyString.length

this will check to see if the digits are 9:

if (MyString.length == 9) {
trace("Is 9");
} else {
trace("Is not 9 it is:"+ MyString.length);
}
.....but you can take the code they gave for VB  and run it in flash but you have to do it like this and I dont belive you can split and join in Mach's VB

fscommand("VBMacro" "some VB here")

Oops, didn't see that it was in the Flash section.

Thanks Jason

Thanks Zealous!!

That worked. Now I can continue to work.
