Hey Erik!
Thanks! The only thing i did different was instead of: var day_array:Array = month_obj[day_str]; if (!day_array) I had to do: var day_array:Array = month_obj[day_str]; if (day_array.length == undefined) Again thanks for the help. -Michael --- In [email protected], "Erik Westra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So if I understand it correctly u have a series of events.
