How to use arrays with ActionScript to create randomizers

This short tutorial demonstrates what an Array is and how to use them with ActionScript to create a program that selects a random value from a list. It's a lot more interesting than it sounds :-)

well u wont be displaying trace u will be displaying the array itself. like this

_root.dynamictextname.text = myarray;

if u want just one lement from the array

_root.dynamictextname.text = myarray[a]

where "a" is the element location in the array remember arrays starts at "0".

if its a multidimentional array

_root.dynamictextname.text = myarray[a][b];

where "b" is the location number of the "a" element in the array.

Is there an easy way to display your trace/ result in a dynamic text box?

Great video, nice and clear. I'm programming in C# at the minute and although the languages are different the principles apply.
