FLASH: Flash 5: dot syntax with multidimensional arrays

[Gorsky]

Hi,


I was wondering if someone could tell me whether it is possible in Flash 5 

to use dot syntax to access multidimensional arrays.


For example, If I do the following:

-------------------------------------

// create new array

mainMenu = new Array();

mainTopics = new Array();

// Assign mainTopics array as the 1st value of the mainMenu array

mainMenu[0] = mainTopics;

// Assign Values to array

mainTopics[0] = "Item 0";

mainTopics[1] = "Item 1";

mainTopics[2] = "Item 2";

mainTopics[3] = "Item 3";

mainTopics[4] = "Item 4";

mainTopics[5] = "Item 5";

mainTopics[6] = "Item 6";

mainTopics[7] = "Item 7";

mainTopics[8] = "Item 8";

mainTopics[9] = "Item 9";

// trace these out

trace ("length.array ="+mainMenu[0].length);

trace ("length.dot ="+mainMenu.mainTopics.length);

-----------------------------------

the output window shows:

length.array =10

length.dot =

-----------------------------------

Am I doing this wrong or is it not possible?

Thanks.

Lee
