how to create an array in Flash4?

[MikeThe]

Hi,

i need an array for storing some math things I calculated before. I am using Flash5, but I have to do that for a typical Browser, i.e. just with the Flash4-plugin.

Is there any way I can create an array for flash4?

Or is there anyone out there who has got the big solution?

Is there any possible way to get my flash5-stuff ready for flash4-browsers?

I dont want to do an flash5-thing, because the majority of you is still using flash4-compatible browsers.

Please mail, poste, ect. any kind of infos, hints, links...

thanx

Mike

You can simulate an array in Flash4 using sequentially-numbered variables. So for example:

Set Variable: "name1" = "Bob"
Set Variable: "name2" = "Ben"
Set Variable: "name3" = "Bill"
Set Variable: "random_number" = random (3) + 1
Set Variable: "random_name" = Eval("name"&random_number)

...this creates an 'array' of three names, then picks one at random by generating a random number and appending it to the string "name" using '&'.

Hope this makes sense.

seems that Flash5 is the much more powerful tool.
