flash - Reading the text file line by line and push to an array in AS3

Question

I need some code in AS3 that will read a text file line by line and insert it into an array. Is this possible without having any special character?

sample.txt

    car
    van
    scooter
    bike

I need to read the file and insert it into an array like:

Array[0]=car
Array[1]=van
Array[2]=scooter
Array[3]=bike

Answer 1

Something like this may work:

var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
    var myArrayOfLines:Array = e.target.data.split(/
/);
}

myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));

The array in the onLoaded function will have your array of items.

Edit- for fun, I ran the code with a sample file and it worked like a charm.
