I agree with previous, however, it is good to deal with references in
classes. 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....

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!!! If you pass this on to 6
programmers in the next 24 hours, you will be granted good karma for a
year.
