Hey,

So I have a php file which is grabbing data from the database, flash is then taking this and putting it into an array. But, how can I use a for loop to progressively name the array. I know you can do it for object names (\_root[“name”+variable].whatever), but how can i do it the other way round:  
array.push(id:“id”+i,players:“players”+i)  
To do this i currently have to do a huge list which is kinda annoying, and then if I had something to the database I have to manually tell flash to do it.

Any help appreciated.
