Digital Workshop

Hi, I am trying to create an "array loop" so it goes like this:

i have my text box in which i am entering the names and i have an STORE button that stores the names i entered everytime I press it. Then i have my debug button that has the "array loop" on it.
It looks like this

Debug.trace(myArray[count]);
count = count ++;

on my script object i have my variables declared :

var myArray = new Array()
var count

on my STORE button i have this:

Debug.trace(nameEntered) ///nameEntered : store input information in this variable (on the textbox)
nameEntered = ""

now when i click on the DEBUG button it does absolutely nothing.. Any ideas?

It seems that you have code in various places and that makes it difficult to assess what's wrong. It would be best if you zip the IMP file and post it as an attachment.

NOTE: Digital workshop keep moving your posts because scripting questions get asked in the this (advanced) section not the basic one

I see sorry for that...I wil post on the advanced section then. Thank you

There is actually nothing wrong with it.

However, there is no connection between the counter for the ADD and the DEBUG.

This means that if you enter 'house' and click add, then click debug it will show the value BUT if you click debug again it will look for an array element that has not been added.

Not sure what you're trying to achieve. If you simply want to show the ADDED value in the DEBUG pane, the put the code together and use a single variable:

ADD(i)
DEBUG(i)
i++

If you want to add a run of values and then DEBUG through the array, you need a conditional operator such as IF that prevents the DEBUG counter from passing the maximum value of the ADD counter.

ADD(i)
i++
ADD(i)
i++
ADD(i)

if p<i DEBUG(p)
p++
if p<i DEBUG (p)

But as I said above, it depends on what you're trying to do.

BTW, the variables in the script object do not need the 'var' keyword. This is used to scope a variable locally to a function.
