I tried it like you said, putting them in different frames, and it works
fine for me.
Frame 1:
_root.cat_colors = new Array();
_root.cat_colors[0] = "bob,john,betty";
Frame 3:
for (i=0; i<_root.cat_colors.length; i++) {
trace("String: "+_root.cat_colors[i]);
var tempColor:Array = _root.cat_colors[i].split(",");
trace("Total: "+tempColor[i]);
for (j=0; j<tempColor.length; j++) {
trace("Color: "+tempColor[j]);
}
}
stop();
Trace result:
String: bob,john,betty
Total: bob
Color: bob
Color: john
Color: betty
As expected.
