I have a Queue class set up that holds different arrays that have been passed into the Queue.  
there is a array in the Queue class called data that holds all the arrays that have been passed in.

I’m trying to set up a function called trace that traces out the arrays and there elements.

example:

```auto

data=[["element 1","element 2","element 3"],["element 1","element 2"],["element 1"]];

```

I want this to trace out like

```auto

output:
["element 1","element 2","element 3"],["element 1","element 2"],["element 1"]

```

function I wrote

```auto

	public function trace():String{
		for(var i =0; i < data.length; i++){
			var elements="["+data*+"]";
			}
			return elements;
		}

```

This function will only give me the last array in the array

Anyone know how I can get this trace to work
