[AS 2.0] Problems with arrays

programming flash
1

I’m trying to store the initial X position of five movieClips in an Array by looping through it. Should be no worries, but I only end up with “Undefined” when I trace the array afterwards…

// how many menu items
var numMenuItems:Number = 5;

// create two arrays which will hold information
var navStatus:Array = new Array(numMenuItems);
var ballX:Array = new Array(numMenuItems);

// put data in arrays
for(var i:Number = 0; i < numMenuItems; i++){
	navStatus* = "closed";

	var clip = ((i+1)+"_mc");
	ballX* = this.ball[clip]._x;
}
// check array
trace(ballX);

Ok, it’s the last bit I’m having trouble with. I want to read the X coordinate of the five ball movieClips (ball1_mc, ball2_mc…ball5_mc), and store that number in the BallX array. So I need to get the loop to work so I don’t have to type this in manually…

…any help at all would be great.
