Global Functions 45
Array function
Array() : Array
Array(numElements:Number) : Array
Array(element0:Object, [element1, element2, ...elementN]) : Array
Creates a new array of length 0 or more, or an array populated by a list of specified elements,
possibly of different data types.
Use
Array() to create one of the following:
■ An empty array
■ An array with a specific length but whose elements have undefined values
■ An array whose elements have specific values
Using this function is similar to creating an array with the Array constructor (see
"Constructor for the Array class").
You can pass a number (
numElements) or a list of elements containing one or more different
types (
element0, element1, ... elementN).
Parameters that can accept more than one data type are listed in the signature as type
Object.
