The answer to this is probably simple but I’m not getting it…

Class ArrayTest:

```auto

package {
 
 import flash.display.*;
 
 public class ArrayTest extends Sprite {
  private var thisArray:Array;
 
  public function ArrayTest(thisArray):void {
   thisArray = new Array();
   trace("in ArrayTest, array = " + thisArray);
  }
 }
 
}

```

fla:

```auto

var myArray:Array = [76, 89, 4];
trace ("myArray = " + myArray);
var aaa:ArrayTest = new ArrayTest(myArray);
addChild(aaa);

```

Resulting trace:

[FONT=Courier New]myArray = 76,89,4[/FONT]  
[FONT=Courier New]in ArrayTest, array =[/FONT]

Question: What am I doing wrong that ArrayTest is not getting the values in myArray?

One thing I tried is changing

trace("in ArrayTest, array = " + thisArray);

to

trace("in ArrayTest, array = " + thisArray\*\*.toString()\*\*);

…but that didn’t work.

Thanks!

EDIT: I fixed it. get rid of **thisArray = new Array();** in ArrayTest.
