OK.
I was nearly there:
var changeToSpaces:Array = ["-",",", ":", ";", "\r", "\t"];
var inputString:String = "Dog, cat,squirrel, bird - horse:worm";
var idealArray:Array = [];
for (var i:uint =0; i<changeToSpaces.length;i++){
//clean the string from the inputfield
inputString = String(inputString.split(changeToSpaces[i]));
}
for (var j:uint=0; j< inputString.length; j++){
trace(inputString.substr(0, inputString.indexOf(",", 0)));
}
