Initiating array prob

[dogdgey5]

hello. I have a problem with initiating an array for another movieclip. For example, a movieclip with an instance name of MC, and a variable number of type of number named varia, can be initiated by:

_root.mc.varia = 5;

Given that varia exists on that MC.
How do I do this for an array? I tried this on the MC:
var arr:Array;

and this on another movieclip:
_root.mc.arr.push(5);

when I traced arr[0] on the first movieclip, it was undefined. What do I do?

[WolfAkela]

var arr:Array = new Array();

ty but still doesnt work. here's what I have for the 'initiation' of the movieclip's array:

for (q=0; q<arr.length; q++) {
_parent[_root.bullN].arr.push(arr[q]);
}

ignore the _parent[_root.bullN] part. both movieclips have an array with a name of arr, so it might be confusing. But what I want is for the second movieclip's arr to recieve all of the first movieclip's arr variables.

It's as simple as array2 = array1, so it's just like:
_root.mc2.arr = _root.mc1.arr;

ok, but it still doesn't work. god this is annoying.

this is what I have for the 1st MC:
var arr:Array = new Array();
arr.push(ind);
trace(arr.length);

and for the second:
_parent[_root.bullN].arr = arr;

and that trace always traces 1, meaning only the push function worked, and the initiation of the arr didnt work.

Huh... you did declare an initialize the second MC's arr with = new Array(), right?

From the code, if it traced "1", it means first MC's array is fine. Trace the array of the second MC and see if it's fine.
