merging arrays

[MelisaAS3]

Hi,

I am new to as3 and need your help.

I would like to combine two arrays such that the elements of each array follow each other in alternating order.

For example, if Array1=(1,2,3) and Array2=(A,B,C), I would like my combined Array to  look like (1,A,2,B,3,C).

When I use the concatenate function the arrays are combined like this: (1,2,3,A,B,C) and this is not what I want.

Please let me know if you know the answer.

Thank you so much.

One way to do it... you could build a new array from the two using a loop....

var Array1:Array = [1,2,3];

var Array2:Array = ["A","B","C"];

var combinedArray:Array = new Array();

for(var i:int=0; i<Array1.length; i++){
    combinedArray.push(Array1);
    combinedArray.push(Array2);
}

trace(combinedArray);
