Dear all

I seek help in converting the following working code of _Associative Arrays_ into the _Indexed Arrays_.

```auto
 
var arrAnimal1: Object = new Object();
var arrAnimal2: Object = new Object();
var arrAnimal3: Object = new Object();
arrAnimal1 = { animal: "Cat", sound: "Meows", pet: "Yes" }; 
arrAnimal2 = { animal: "Dog", sound: "Barks", pet: "Yes" }; 
arrAnimal3 = { animal: "Lion", sound: "Roars", pet: "No" };
 
var arrAnimals: Object = new Object();
arrAnimals = [arrAnimal1, arrAnimal2, arrAnimal3];
for (var keyAnimals in arrAnimals)
{
[INDENT]for (var keyAnimal in arrAnimals[keyAnimals])
{
[INDENT]trace (keyAnimal + ": " + arrAnimals[keyAnimals][keyAnimal]);
[/INDENT]}
[/INDENT][INDENT]trace ("
");
[/INDENT]}

```

Would an AS3 guru like to extend his help to a miserable beginner, please!
