This should be an easy one for you guys.  
I haven’t doen this in so long I forget how its done…

Ok, so I got an assocaitive object array like this:  
myArray = new Object();  
myArray[0] = {item:“item1”, price:"$1.99", active:0};  
myArray[1] = {item:“item2”, price:"$1.99", active:0};  
myArray[2] = {item:“item3”, price:"$1.99", active:0};

Now, how do I track the length of this object array.

I would have thought it was:  
trace(myArray.length);

But thats not the solution.  
Any ideas?

Thanks!
