Stop push from overwriting values in an array

[brucegray]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an array containing scores and usernames which I can then sort and display in a table, but I'm stuck on one issue. When I try to push a second score to the highscores array, it saves again at position 0 rather than adding new data to position 1 and so on. In the following code, myScore contains the score that the user just achieves and myName contains their set username.

var highscores:Array = new Array();highscores.push({score: myScore, player: myName});highscores.sortOn("score", Array.DESCENDING | Array.NUMERIC);for (var i:int = 0; i < highscores.length; i++){  trace(highscores[i].score, highscores[i].player);}

How can I get this to add to the array rather than overwriting current data?

Thanks.

Hi!

Do you always call the new Array() line when you want to update the array? Because if you do this, the push method will always find an empty array.

This was the issue, not sure how I missed that.

Many thanks!

It happens all the time! No worries.

And you're welcome!
