Array issues

[dannc]

Im using Flash MX 2004 Pro.

in my HTML i have these two lines:
<param name="Maxnum" value="3" >
<param name="Dirname" value="imagedir/" >

In the actionscript I would like to remove the line that manually sets the array, and replace it with something 'like' this:

Code: Select all

var Maxnum = 3;    // the html does this, but for the sake of arguement
var Dirname = "imagedir/"   // I will include it hear anyway.

for (i=0;i<Maxnum;i++) {

this.pArray[i] = [Dirname + (i +1) + ".jpg]; 

}

thus resulting with the equivilent of :

this.pArray = ["imagedir/1.jpg" , "imagedir/2.jpg" , "imagedir/3.jpg];

nomatter how i try this i cannot set the value of the array correctly. Any ideas ?

what are you getting? imagedir/.jpg ? imagedir/ ?

just looking at that I can't really see any reason why it shouldn't work

Your code is fine, you just need to declare that pArray is an array object:

pArray = new Array();

before you use it, and your code works fine.

You can check your results with

trace(pArray);

For clarification, you would have been getting "undefined" as the contents of pArray (if you used trace) and not any result at all, which clearly shows that you simply didn't tell flash that pArray was an array.

trouble with not having to declare variables, and loosely typed languages :-)
