Hi.  
I’m interested to fill a simple array with variable names, NOT with strings! , because I need it for catching the data from asp file.  
I tried something like that but it doesn’t work

for(i=0; i \< 9; i++)  
{  
Variables\_array\* = Variable + i;  
trace(Variables\_array\*);  
}

if I initialize the array in this form it works:

var Variables\_array:Array = new Array(Variable1, Variable2, Variable3, …);

any ideas ?
