Vectors in AS3

[kizza0]

To represent vectors in AS3, is it anything like this?
v={
p0:{x:10, y:5},
vx:2,
vy:1
};

Do you want to draw the vector? Cod here's a good tutorial on how to draw them > Drawing Vectors

Why don't you just make an array?
var v:Array = newArray(10, 5, 2, 1);

No, i understand how to draw lines, thanks anyway. I'd usually use an array but this gives no errors.
var v={p0:{x:10, y:5},vx:2,vy:1};
What is it?

It's just an object with an object and two variables attached.

How would you locate those variables? would it be v.p0.x, v.p0.y, v.vx & v.vy?

Yeah:

var v ={p0:{x:10, y:5},vx:2,vy:1};
trace(v.p0.x); //outputs 10
trace(v.p0.y); //outputs 5
trace(v.vx); //outputs 2
trace(v.vy); //output 1

That's good. Would this work in AS2?

Certainly would.

flash.geom.Vector3D, exactly what you wanted, and implemented in native code for that extra speed boost.
