Help! Flash Array

alohachow · 09-11-2008, 07:24 AM

Can I change the length of an array in flash?

Example:

if(a==true)
{
array.length=5;
}
else
{
array.length=6;
}

You could fill it with temporary values but I am struggling to think of any reason why you'd want to have an array lengh to differ from the actual amount of values contained.

What exactly are you trying to achieve - there may be a different way to do it?

I'm pretty positive that you can't modify the .length property directly like that, you'll have to look into:

Why would you need to change the length of an array. If you just want to add values use the .push method..
