Try something like:
my_str = new String( outputArray );
_global.listResult += my_str.slice(0, 50);
The slice method doesn't do anything on the source string, it returns a
sliced version of the string.
Also, the "new String" is redundant. my_str = outputArray will do the
same thing, since outputArray is already a string.
