Hi there,  
I’m having a problem with for loops and the arrays that were created while those loops. I mostly get the data from an XML and store it during the for loop into an array, am I obligated to use the array imediatley? cause if I want to use some of it, it’s all dissapeared. Ⓜ

Notice that I used this for loop in an onLoad function because I’m used to load the XML data like this…  
Should I load it diffrent?

Cu
