if I type array[1]=array[2] their values are permanently linked. How do I change this

[Scifo]

e.g.

array[2][0] = 4;
array[1]    = array[2];
array[1][0] = array[1][0] + 3;

trace("array[1]= " + array[1]);
trace("array[2]= " + array[2]);

Result:
array[1]=7;
array[2]=7;


The result I want is:
array[1]=4;
array[2]=7;




How do I achieve this?

I believe if you just wanted to copy the values of the array then you have to copy each value. If you say object=object or array=array then they will be linked. Just copy the value you want like so, if there are more then use a loop:

array[2][0] = 4;
array[1][0] = array[2][0];
array[1][0] = array[1][0] + 3;
trace("array[1]= " + array[1]);
trace("array[2]= " + array[2]);

I hoped that wasn't the case, because it's part of program I want to do automatically that could be used to go further into 4d arrays and more.
I'm writing a piece of code that could still get round this but it's a little cumbersome & I was hoping for a one line solution
