Sounds like you're trying to do something like this, but even still your
approach seems overly complex. Maybe a more detailed explaination of
what you're trying to do and what "combinations" are would help.
Meanwhile, if I understand you, would something like this work?
a = false
b = false
c = true
d = true
e = true
f = false
g = true
h = false
i = false
//etc.
myArray = [2,3,6,12,34,54,345,45,76,34]
vars = ["a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j"]
counter = 0;
counter_arr = [];
function checkVars(){
for(i=0; i<myArray.length; i++){
if(this[vars[i]]){
counter_arr.push(counter+=myArray[i])
trace(vars[i]+" in vars array is true.");
trace("counter is at: "+counter);
}
}
}
checkVars();
