arrays

[hypersdc]

I have a list of variables that I want to store in an array.
Each variable has a category and subcategory it belongs to. How do I make the category, subcategory and variable an array and then match that to the variables that are in an array?

Category1[[color]variable1, variable2],[[size]variable3,variable4],[[depth]variable5, variable6]

Category2[[color]variable1, variable2],[[size]variable3,variable4],[[depth]variable5, variable6]


This of course isnt the correct syntax, but what is?

Not to up on arrays, but try this:

myArray = newArray();
myArray[category1] = (color.variable1, variable2, size.variable3,variable4, depth.variable5, variable6)

That's probably way off, but it may spark something in someone else's brain

this work?

myColor = new Array("v1","v2");
mySize = new Array("v3","v4");
myDepth = new Array("v5","v6");
Category1 = new Array(myColor,mySize,myDepth);
trace("---cat1  is ---");
trace(Category1[0][0]);
trace(Category1[0][1]);
myColor = new Array("v7","v8");
mySize = new Array("v9","v10");
myDepth = new Array("v11","v12");
Category2 = new Array(myColor,mySize,myDepth);
trace("---cat 2 is ---");
trace(Category2[0][0]);
trace(Category2[0][1]);
trace("---cat 1 is still same---");
trace(Category1[0][0]);
trace(Category1[0][1]);

I changed color to myColor and size to mySize since color and size are keywords... bad idea to use as variable names...
