Hi,

_Newbie question…🙂_

I have a function to load text file to array…  
But how do i make a “global array”?  
So that the values are ‘accessible’ outside the function?

function onComplete(e:Event):void  
{  
read values from text file to array…  
trace array[0]…ok  
}  
trace array[0]…nothing

thanks.
