AS3 Multidimensional Array

Question

Hi.I'm new to AS3. I would like to know how can I create a multidimensional array (eg. 8x8) using for or while. The values in it must be only: red, blue, green, yellow and black.Thanks.

If you want to pick the colors randomly, place them in an array and randomly pick one of them by using the Math methods...

var colorArray:Array = new Array("red", "blue", etc...)

for(var i:int=0; i<8; i++){

mArray = new Array();

for(var k:int=0; k<8; k++){

mArray.push(colorArray[Math.floor(Math.random()*colorArray.length)]);

}

You will need to use two loops if you want a 2 dimensional array, one nested inside the other. The first loop will create the individual arrays and the second will assign the elements to each.var mArray:Array = new Array();for(var i:int=0; i<8; i++){ mArray = new Array(); for(var k:int=0; k<8; k++){ mArray.push(whichever color you intend); }}
