^ (bitwise XOR) 105

The following example creates an array called employee_array and uses the trace() statement

to send the elements to the log file. In the fourth line, an element in the array is changed, and the

fifth line sends the newly modified array to the log file:

var employee_array = ["Barbara", "George", "Mary"];

trace(employee_array); // output: Barbara,George,Mary

employee_array[2] = "Sam";

trace(employee_array); // output: Barbara,George,Sam

In the following example, the expression inside the brackets is evaluated, and the result is used as

the name of the variable to be retrieved from movie clip

name_mc:

name_mc["A" + i];

You can use the following ActionScript to loop over all objects in the _root scope, which is useful

for debugging:

for (i in _root) {

trace(i+": "+_root[i]);

}

You can also use the array access ([]) operator on the left side of an assignment statement to

dynamically set instance, variable, and object names:

employee_array[2] = "Sam";
