Cant assign value to MD array...??

[Ahhhk]

Ive done this a thousands times, and for some reason its just not working for me this time.

In the first line of the root timeline, I define a new array as such:

_global.movieSpecs = new Array();

In a function (also in root) I have a for loop as such:

for (i=0;i<=result.fileName.length;i++) {
  fileName = result.fileName[i];
  fileSize = result.fileSize[i];
  movieSpecs[i][0] = fileName;
  movieSpecs[i][1] = fileSize;

  trace(i);
  trace(fileName);
  trace(movieSpecs[i][0]);
}

But, the trace on movieSpecs[i][1] comes back undefined.

i traces fine (0..1..2..3..etc) as well as fileName and fileSize.

No matter how I change the array name, placement, order, etc...the whole array comes back undefined.

What the heck am I missing here? :0

Thanks,

Ahhhk!

You need to create the nested arrays...

for (i=0;i<=result.fileName.length;i++) {
  fileName = result.fileName[i];
  fileSize = result.fileSize[i];

  movieSpecs[i] = new Array();

  movieSpecs[i][0] = fileName;
  movieSpecs[i][1] = fileSize;

  trace(i);
  trace(fileName);
  trace(movieSpecs[i][0]);
}

Get out!

hehe...ok...now it all makes sense. In the past, I always defined some sort of defaults for the array before actually assigning values to the indexes in a function/for loop.

Duh.

Thanks Lexicon!
