Operators

var my_array:Array = new Array();
my_array[0] = 15;
my_array[1] = "Hello";
my_array[2] = true;
You can use brackets ([]) to add a fourth element, as shown in the following example:
my_array[3] = "George";
You can use brackets ([]) to access an element in a multidimensional array. The first set of
brackets identifies the element in the original array, and the second set identifies the element
in the nested array. The following lines of code send the number 6 to the Output panel.
var ticTacToe:Array = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]];
trace(ticTacToe[1][2]);// output: 6
Usage 3: You can use the array access ([]) operator instead of the
eval()
function to
dynamically set and retrieve values for movie clip names or any property of an object. The
following line of code sends the number 6 to the Output panel.
name["mc" + i] = "left_corner";
