Here's what I would do.
In your loop:
for(var i:int = 0; i<rows.length; i++)
{
//you would include an if statement here to not include lines that begin
with //
var columns:Array = rows[i].split(",");//split each row into columns
temp.push({id:columns[0],name:columns[1],position:columns[2]});
}
I would add this:
for(var i:int = 0; i<rows.length; i++)
{
//you would include an if statement here to not include lines that begin
with //
var row:String = rows[i];
if (row.substr(0,2) == "//") {
continue;
}
var columns:Array = rows[i].split(",");//split each row into columns
temp.push({id:columns[0],name:columns[1],position:columns[2]});
}
Hope that helps.
