Flash / Flex / ActionScript/String/length

To determine the number of characters a string object contains you can check its length property.

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){

        var bigWord:String = "CONIOSIS";
        trace("Number of letters: ", bigWord.length); // Displays: 45
   }
 }

}

       </source>
