Why have the step with the semicolon? You can just do this:
var foo:Array = ["a", "b", "c", ["d", "e", ["d", "e", ["d", "e", ["d",
"e"]]]], "f", ["g", ["h"]], [[], "i"], "j"];
var fooFlat:Array = foo.toString().split(",");
Potential problems with this approach:
- It does not preserve the type of the elements, converting them all to
string.
- Any element that equates to a string with a comma in it will be
evaluated as two elements. E.g, if foo is set to ["a,b", "c"], it will
flatten to a 3-element array.
So it's only useful if the atomic elements are strings, and they are
guaranteed not to include commas.
I have no idea how efficient it is, processor-wise, although I would
suspect it is rather slow.

I don't know if I understand this correctly, but is it making a array
flat?
Then this is the fastest way I think:
var foo : Array = ["a", "b", "c", ["d", "e",["d", "e",["d", "e",["d",
"e"]]]], "f", ["g", ["h"]], [[], "i"], "j"];
var fooString:String = foo.join(";");
fooString = fooString.split(",").join(";");
foo = fooString.split(";");
output:
a,b,c,d,e,d,e,d,e,d,e,f,g,h,,i,j
