animals = [[dogs, cats, fish],[bird, lizards, snakes]]; dogs = [[dog1,dog2,dog3]]; cats = [[cat1,cat2,cat3]]; fish = [[fish1,fish2,fish3]]; trace(animals[0][1]); //returns undefined How can you get an array value if the value is an array itself? I want to get a trace/output of cats (not cat1,cat2,cat3). Is this possible?
