Splitting a string with delimiters, i.e. commas, into an array was easy.

I had an XML-file with multiple possible values for one start value. These would be used to populate a drop down:

<startValue>1</startValue>
<endValue>1,2,3,4,5</endValue>

Alas, I needed to split the endValue property into an array:

var tmp:String = xmlList.endValue.text();
var array:Array = tmp.split(",");
trace(array);
