use the 'split' method of the string object.

in other words, when you have a string in a variable, you can say: myArray = myVariable.split();

and it'll break apart the entire string into letters and place each letter into a separate slot in the array. You can also tell it to split the string on different letters or words, eg:
var myVariable = "Hello";
var myArray = myVariable.split( "e" );
//myArray will contain:
"H", "llo";

hope this helps.
