cutting up a sentence?

[Brandon?]

Okay, is there a way to split up a sentence say 30 characters each into there own variables. I've seen this done before.
--sum up take in a variable and give out a few other variables, each 30 character cut ups of the first var.
(note: i have a sweet rpg with like every code possibly imagined and a engine thats almost done this is my only draw back i have a metheod right now but i dont like the system i have made to insert data into boxs and you hit space to get info. like a "a" button for a GB game. This will allow me to write an entire sentence.) thanks

One way is to use the String class and use it's methods to split strings, with either substring() or substr() for instance:

First you declare a new String variable that contains what you want to cut up:
var sTitle:String = new String("This is my test sentence");

Then you declare a second variable that will hold the cut up part. Remember that it's zero indexing, so from 0 to 5 is actually from 0 to 4 (so until it reaches 5).
var sExtracted:String = sTitle.substring(0, 5);

trace(sExtracted);

this returns "This "

So to get 30 characters each, you can create new variables (or an array) for 0 to 30, 30 to 60, etc (or something....it's already past midnight, so I can't think too clearly :) )
