I’m having problems calling a function within my program. The code is:

> find\_New();  
> trace(sequence\_Array[array\_Marker]);

find\_New = function() {  
trace(“ **Find\_New Marker** ”);  
sequence\_Array[array\_Marker] = random(4)+1;  
currentNum+=1;  
}

The output I’m receiving is “Undefined”, telling me that find\_New is never called upon, so the array never receives a value. ((trace(“ **Find\_New marker** ”) never shows up))

any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong? array\_Marker is set at 0 before the call statement.
