Associating string with array?

[Gibson221]

Hi, I'm just trying to associate a string with a previously declared array but I'm unsure how to do so.

In this instance, I'm taking the literal string from a combo box label:

thisString = comboBox.text

Where thisString is an array I've declared before,and I would like to treat it as the array I made before.


Thanks guys

Little more detail explanation on how you want the thisString Array?

Sorry. I mean that I would like to manipulate it like as an array that I've previously made i.e:

someArray = new Array(....)

comboBoxString = comboBox.text


Where the text from comboBox.text is now equal to 'someArray' such that I can manipulate 'comboBoxString' and retrieve the same data from 'someArray'.

comboBoxString[x][y][z] = data


I hope I haven't been too vague,

Thanks.

If I understood you correctly, then you have to keep updating the array to retrieve the same values

Sorry I guess I'm still not being coherent. I mean when I trace the string comboBoxString for an array value ie:

trace(comboBoxString[0][0][1])

I get an undefined value because it's a string, when actually I want to treat the string as the array I defined before.

What kind of text does the comboBoxString contain, and how do you want it divided/seperated?
