Every string has a length property, which is equal to the number of characters in the string:
var str:String = "macromedia";
trace(str.length); // 10
An empty string and a null string both have a length of 0, as the following example shows:
var str1:String = new String(); trace(str1.length);// 0 str2:String = ''; trace(str2.length);// 0
