so i want to create an array with a single member of array which is variable  
i call j:int;  
so i do smoething like this:  
var j:int = 0;  
var ar:array = new array(j);  
trace(ar);  
and it appears as if array ar is blank =?  
than i have tried some testing and found out that if i try to push it it will work just fine…  
but why doesn’t it work the way it is, am I right it is a bug?
