Here, I’ve created multidimentional array which has multiple categories that caries multiple images. And I’m trying to make it so that you can paginate through categories and once you click on a category you can also paginate through images. You guys have any idea how I would do this? Should I use slice function to do this? What is the most effiecient and easiest way to do this?

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

for(var i=0; i\<catTotal; i++) { //looping through categories  
myGallery\* = new Array();  
myGallery\*[“name”] = gallery.category\*.attributes.name;  
myGallery\*[“image”] = new Array();  
//trace(myGallery\*[“name”]);  
var imageCount = gallery.category\*.image.length;  
for(var k=0; k\<imageCount; k++) { //looping through images  
myGallery\*[“image”][k] = new Array();  
myGallery\*[“image”][k][“date”] = gallery.category\*.image[k].date.getValue();  
myGallery\*[“image”][k][“title”] = gallery.category\*.image[k].title.getValue();  
myGallery\*[“image”][k][“desc”] = gallery.category\*.image[k].desc.getValue();  
myGallery\*[“image”][k][“thumb”] = gallery.category\*.image[k].thumb.getValue();  
myGallery\*[“image”][k][“img”] = gallery.category\*.image[k].img.getValue();  
//trace(myGallery\*[“image”][k][“date”]);  
}  
}
