flash AS2. one line returns "Identifier expected!" the hell?

[ACCE69]

i'm trying to make a variable that is dynamically changeable, the first part being "v" then having a variable v that counts up every time a "v" variable is made. heres my code for a new "v" variable...

[QUOTE]var ["v"+v]:objectArray = new objectArray(pX, pY, vX, vY);[/QUOTE]for some annoying reason it returns "Identifier expected" on that line.
i have done stuff like this before but with the attachMovie(); method.
but not a custom method (objectArray). (which is in an .as file if it makes a difference)

Learn the basic syntax of ActionScript, then come back

What is this this doesn't even make sense

Use an array. I don't think you can do stuff like this in AS3.
I'm pretty sure you can do this["image"+imageNum] but I don't think you can declare a variable like that.

This isn't even AS3, it's AS2. What the hell is this?

I think it's asking you to identify the language because this is not actionscript.

He's asking you to help him and all you guys are doing is spitting out stupid answers.

[Darwin226]

Some of you really don't know what you are talking about.
For example, this is works
[cpp]var variable1:Number=1;
var variable2:Number=2;

var i=0;
while (i<2){

trace(this["variable"+(i+1)]);
++i;
}[/cpp]

The problem is you can't declare a var like that.

ActionScript 2.0 seems to have an array-class (dynamically sizable), so can't you simply do

var vector:Array = new Array();

for(i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
  vector[i] = new Object(pX, pY, vX, vY);

[ACCE69]

hows bout this?

[QUOTE]vecs = new Array();
Vecs = 0;
v = 0;

this["v"+v] = new Objcet{X:250, pY:150, vX:50, vY:20};
Vecs = vecs.push("v"+v);[/QUOTE]

could this be valid?

[Darwin226]

What are you trying to do?
Much simpler solution would be an array.

var myArray=[];
var v = 0;

myArray[v]=new Object(X:250, pY:150, vX:50, vY:20);

I didn't try to compile it so don't take it literally.

[ACCE69]

basically im trying do what this website describes

[QUOTE][URL]http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/vectors/start.html[/URL][/QUOTE]

but with arrays.

[Darwin226]

The site describes a lot of things, you will have to be more specific.

[ACCE69]

sorry. basically i want to be able to create a vector with arrays and make it able to effect an object or make multiple vectors effect an object. using functions (not in .as files)

[ZeekyHBomb]

var vector:Array = new Array();

for(i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
  vector[i] = new Array();
