| Array.toString( ) Method | Flash 5 |
| convert an array to a string of comma-separated element values | | Returns A comma-separated list of array's elements, converted to strings. Description The toString( ) method creates a string representation of array. The string returned by toString( ) is a list of array elements converted to strings and separated by commas (the same as is returned by the join( ) method when join( ) is invoked without parameters). An array's toString( ) method is invoked automatically whenever the array is used in a string context. Therefore, it is rarely necessary to invoke toString( ) manually. Normally, when we want a precise string representation of an array, we use the join( ) method, which offers more control over the string we're creating. ExamplemyList = new Array("a", "b", "c"); // Create an array trace(myList.toString()); // Displays: "a,b,c" myList = new Array([1, 2, 3], "a", "b", "c"); // Create a nested array trace(myList.toString()); // Displays: "1,2,3,a,b,c" See Also Array.join( ) |
