Don't understand my trace results

To my knowledge the 'push' command in an array will add one more item. Therefore why does the following script trace 2,4,6,8,10 instead of 1,2,3,4,5

code:

---

var array:Array = new Array(); 



for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) 

{ 

    targ = new en(); 

    targ.x = Math.round(Math.random() * wi); 

    targ.y = Math.round(Math.random() * hi); 

    array.push(targ); 

    addChild(targ); 

	

}

Hi,

It doesn't trace anything as there is no trace in there.
Post the code that you are using the trace in.
The code above even with a trace placed after the addChild(targ) like so trace(i);
traces 0 - 9

??

my apologies. It should have been:

trace(array.push(targ));

Hi,

Not entirely sure why you would want to trace that!

PHP Code:

---

var array:Array = new Array(); 

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) 
{ 
    targ = new en(); 
    targ.x = Math.round(Math.random() * wi); 
    targ.y = Math.round(Math.random() * hi); 
    array.push(targ); 
    addChild(targ); 
    trace(i);
} 

trace("array of objects: " +array);
trace("targeted object: " + array[3].x);

Hi,

In answer to your trace, trace(array.push(targ)); I think it doesn't know what to do so traces the array length
Even when you use the array.push() within a trace it pushes the array,

hence the number being double the for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) amount
