Heya, I’m new to action script and I was wondering if you could run a loop in an array?

I’m having to make an array that has each value increase by a 10, like 10, 20, 30, etc. is there an easier way to put in those values without adding them ‘manually’?

and I have another question that is related. For this same project, on the stage there will be a text box and the user will put in a number–how can that value be run through the array? like say I input the number 500, how does it find it in the array? is there a passed id, a listener and a broadcaster?
