if statement vars from xml, length unknown

[mgason]

Hi,
I read up a bunch of vars and pop them in arrays to use in a series of if statements. That works fine. Right now I have a fixed number of items so I can just write the code below.
How could I set this up to work so that it could deal with any number of items in the arrays.
The length of all the arrays will always be the same.
It could even be one array I think, as items could be fed in in order.
Thanks in advance, Mark

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);

function loop(e:Event):void {
    if (this.currentFrame==1) {
        if ((videomask_mc.height != vidHeightArray[1]) && (_ds.time >= startPoint[1]) && (_ds.time < endPoint[1])) {
            TweenMax.to(videomask_mc, .5, {height:vidHeightArray[1]});
            TweenMax.to(video, .5, {y:vidBase - topCropArray[1]});
            TweenMax.to(controller_mc, .5, {y:masky + vidHeightArray[1]});

        }
        if ((videomask_mc.height != vidHeightArray[2]) && (_ds.time >= startPoint[2]) && (_ds.time < endPoint[2])) {
            TweenMax.to(videomask_mc, .5, {height:vidHeightArray[2]});
            TweenMax.to(video, .5, {y:vidBase - topCropArray[2]});
            TweenMax.to(controller_mc, .5, {y:masky + vidHeightArray[2]});

        }
        if ((videomask_mc.height != vidHeightArray[3]) && (_ds.time >= startPoint[3]) && (_ds.time < endPoint[3])) {
            TweenMax.to(videomask_mc, .5, {height:vidHeightArray[3]});
            TweenMax.to(video, .5, {y:vidBase - topCropArray[1]});
            TweenMax.to(controller_mc, .5, {y:masky + vidHeightArray[3]});

        }
    }
}

Are you able to grab a predetermined length before this loop function is called? For example xml_object.length()?

I could load all the xml and parse into arrays.
Then when xml load is done go to next frame where I trigger video connections and most of my other code lives.
That is where the enterFrame needs to start and call loop.
So I could know the xml object length, but also the array length which may be easier to work with.

thanks for the reply
