I'm not sure I understand the problem here, what prohibits the use
of the following way to achieve the above?
on mouseUp
put "people" into theFirst
put "1" into theSecond
put "Name" into theThird
put "some string" into theArrayA[theFirst][theSecond][theThird]
end mouseUp
Besides less readability, more lines of code, etc. of course. Still
if you don't know what the keys will be beforehand, then you'll have
them individually in vars anyway, right?
Probably not understanding the problem correctly
Hi Björnke,
In your example above you assume that you know there are three
dimensions. But what if you do not know how many dimensions you will
be referencing? When this is the case then your variable is going to
have the full path (from 1 to x number of dimensions) but the engine
does not have a means of using that variable to grab the keys value
without resorting to 'do'.
And yes, there are times when having this ability is very useful.
Make sense?
