Best design for your 2D array depends on what it's intended for?: var reactionStoichiometry:Array = new Array (); public function addItem( newArr:Array ):Number { //returns len(?) return reactionStoichiometry.push( newArr ); } used like: var yorObject:YourClass = new YourClass(); var newArr:Array = new Array (1, 3, 2, 0), yorObject.addItem( newArr ); yorObject.addItem( new Array( 1,2,1,0 ) ); ...etc.... -Scott On 1/20/07, Ron Wheeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > BTW, Classes love Objects of all types regardless of the arrays. > > Just a hint. > Often multi-dimensional arrays are just crying out to be single arrays > of objects and if their wish is granted, your code becomes amazingly > small and elegant as your reward for granting their wish. > > Help make an array's wish become true!!!
