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.tx

Answer 1

Here is an example of loading and reading different file types with ActionScript 3:

      import flash.filesystem.FileMode;
      import flash.filesystem.FileStream;
      import flash.filesystem.File;

      var myFile:File = File.appResourceDirectory; // Create out file object and tell our File Object where to look for the file
      myFile = myFile.resolve("mySampleFile.txt"); // Point it to an actual file

      var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream(); // Create our file stream
      fileStream.open(myFile, FileMode.READ);

      var fileContents:String = fileStream.readUTFBytes(fileStream.bytesAvailable); // Read the contens of the 
      fileContents_txt.text = fileContents; // Display the contents. I've created a TextArea on the stage for display

      fileStream.close(); // Clean up and close the file stream

After reading the string, you can use the int.valueOf() to convert the string to the integer.
