Re: [flasher] array name as a variable

[Muzak]

Not 100% sure what you're asking but if you want to define the array through a variable, then I think this is what you need:


Fish = new Array("somevalue", "otherValue", "aVar", "anotherVar");

X = "3";

itemArray = "Fish";

itemValue = _root[itemArray][X];

trace (itemValue);
