RE: [Flashcoders] Multi-dimensional array problems in classes
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. I agree - IMO best and most flexible way is an array of objects (which objectg may have properties that are arrays of objects, etc.).

Hello :) If you can compile your code in AS2 you can use my openSource framework VEGAS and this ADT package (vegas.data) ... you can find in this library all JAVA collections (Collection, Map, Iterator, List, Queue...) i think you can find good tools for you problem :) 1 - go in the project pa: http://vegas.riaforge.com 2007/1/22, Merrill, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Just a hint.

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

Help make an array's wish become true!!! If you pass this on to 6

There aren't any limitations on multidim. arrays in objects,
classes, or objects in classes and so on. I suspect the particular
syntax you used was not correct, hence your issues. It'd help to
post this instead.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Multi-dimensional array problems in classes
Hi there,
Does anyone know if it we are supposed to use multi-dimensional
arrays (an array consisting of arrays) within a class? If so, what
is the best, legal way to create them?
The only way I have managed to do it is by this method:
var reactionStoichiometry:Array = new Array (
new Array (1, 3, 2, 0),
new Array (1, 2, 1, 0),
new Array (2, 1, 2, 0),
new Array (2, 0, 1, 3),
new Array (2, 0, 2, 1),
new Array (1, 0, 1, 1),
new Array (1, 1, 2, 0),
new Array (1, 1, 2, 0),
new Array (1, 1, 1, 1));
Any other ways of creating them give me a compile error saying that
they
are not allowed within a class. I need to assign these values
dynamically, the above ones a for testing, and would prefer to do
it by addressing the locations in the main array by position number
for inserting the other arrays within it. Classes don't seem to
like Objects containing arrays either.
Many thanks,
Gareth Hudson. ___
