Hello all,

I’m still fairly new to Flash but think I have a grasp of the basics of actionscript.

However, the one thing I can’t really understand is the ‘array’.

I know that they are used to store information and I’m sure that they’re incredible useful - I just don’t know how!

If anyone can give some examples of when they use arrays in their scripts and for what reason I’d be grateful and do a bit of experimenting.

Cheers for any advice / ideas,

David
