FLASH: Setting Up A Multidimensional Array

[Paul Steven]

Hi all


Ok - today is my first day of looking at Flash 5 and trying to program a pac

man style game using the new action script. I had originally started this

game in Flash 4 but now I have Flash 5 I thought I may as well use it.


Anyway in my Flash 4 version I stored the game grid as a series of variables

Row1_Data="WBBWBBBWBBBWBBBBW"

Row2_Data="WBB"

etc


Whereby say W=Wall and B=Blank Square


This seemed to work fine - but I am trying to replace these variables using

arrays. So based on the pacmans row and column I could check the content of

the square by using syntax something like Grid_Array[Row][Column]


But how do I set up such an array with all the grid data - it is not very

clear in the manuals.


Any help much appreciated


Paul
