How do I have variables write to an array? I have three variables coming into flash called:

spot1  
spot2  
spot3

and I want to have an array that holds those values. something like:

```auto

initial = [spot1, spot2, spot3]

```

I’ve been reading the tutorials and it looks like everything has to be in quotes, but that won’t work. Any ideas?

Thanx in advance.
