If I am understanding your question correctly: myData[0].series3 = value;
Another way to think of an associative array is as a dynamic Object. Do you mean you need to search the indexed array to find the element where dataType == 3? You'll just need to do that in a for loop.

Hello... Stuck on another issue here. Searched the archive but I didn't really see anything that I could use using AS3.0. I am quite a newbie to AS3.0, not a newbie to programming, but I'm stumped since I haven't done much with associative arrays. Here is what I have: indexed array of associative arrays. example: var myData: Array = new Array(); myData.push({dataType: 3, timestamp: 0}); myData.push({dataType: 1, timestamp: 0}); myData.push({dataType: 2, timestamp: 0}); myData.push({dataType: 4, timestamp: 0}); What I need to do is add a new element to the associative array based on the dataType value: for the first element in my example, I'd like to add {series3 : value} to the associative array. this array will be eventually used as a dataprovider for a PlotSeries. thanks for any suggestions!
