Array values

1

Hi everyone! I’m trying to assign values to my array. Here is what I have so far.


_root.createEmptyMovieClip("Placement", 2);
var shapes:Array = new Array("square", "circle", "triangle");
function selectshape():String {
    //get the index for the letter
    var index:Number = random(shapes.length);
    //assign the letter to a var
    var s:String = shapes[index];
    //display letter
    return s;
}
trace(selectshape());
//calls the function that will place the shapes on the stage
pulltogether(shapes);
function pulltogether(test:Array) {
    for (var i = 0; i < test.length; i++) {
        Placement.attachMovie(shapes*, shapes*, i+10, {_x:random(200), _y:random(200)});
    }
}

What I want to do is say if “circle” is selected than I want to assign a value of “yellow circle”.

 
     if ("circle" ){
            storedvalue="yellow circle"
   ]
     else if ("square"){
           storedvalue="blue square"
}
     else if ("triangle") {
           storedvalue="green triangle"
}

Hope this makes sense???
