How do you create a multidimensional array in Adobe Animate?

as both the above stated, use "this" to reference a timeline (outside a function body).  then to reference, use

var Pirate0 = [setup0,answer0];

var Pirate1 = [setup1,answer1];

this.jokes = [Pirate0,Pirate1];

// setup0 = this.jokes[0][0];

// answer0 = this.jokes[0][1];

but @JoãoCésar17023019's suggestion to use an object is probably preferable (or even an array of objects):

this.jokes = [{setup:"setup 0",answer:"answer 0"},{setup:"setup 1",answer:"answer 1"}, etc];

then for the 2nd joke:

var setup=this.jokes[1].setup;

var answer = this.jokes[1].answer;

Array syntax in ActionScript and JavaScript is exactly the same. Your example code works perfectly in Animate.

The global variable exportRoot is automatically created in canvas documents and points to the root timeline.

Alternatively, "this" in any timeline will always reference that timeline (except for in event handlers).

Hi.

Maybe is this what you want?

// questions is a property of the current timeline
// so it can be accessed in other frames
this.questions =
[
	{ title:"Pirates", setup:"How...?", punchline: "It Waves!" },
	{ title:"Pirates 1", setup:"How...1?", punchline: "It Waves 1!" },
	{ title:"Pirates 2", setup:"How...2?", punchline: "It Waves 2!" },
];

Please let us know.

As a follow up... How do I make the array accessable throughout the entire timeline if my array is created in frame 0?
