I have some 2D arrays. I would like to add a 3rd dimension. How do I add this 3rd dimension? Thanks.

I don’t know if I’m stating this correctly but what I would like to do is have an array that holds a bunch of [thumb.jpg, number, bigpic.jpg]. This way all the values entries are related. So if I wanted to get any of these values I could use the same key value.

I don’t know if this makes sense. Plus, do I get the values of the 3rd dimension by using \*[2] in a for-loop? I know that \*[0] gets the 1st dimension and \*[1] gets the 2nd dimension.

Thanks in advance for any direction or help.
