Assigning array to associative array

[neatgadgets]

Hi,

I have an associative array, but the values maybe string, number or array. I have no problem assigning strings or numbers to the associative array, but how do I add an array to the associative array? I have just tried somehting like this but it doesn't work:

assoc_array["sample_id"] = [{label:"a", data:"1"}, {label:"b", data:"2"}, {label:"c", data:"3"}]

Code:

assoc_array["sample_id"] = array({label:"a", data:"1"}, {label:"b", data:"2"}, {label:"c", data:"3"});

Thanks. Now if I want to trace to see the values are being set properly how would I format the trace?

e.g.
trace(assoc_array["sample_id"]][1]);
trace(assoc_array["sample_id"]][2]);

Obviously this doesn't work but I just did this to give you the idea of what I am trying to do.

brackets of any kind should allways be in pairs:

Code:

trace(assoc_array["sample_id"][1]);

should do it.
But then you receive just another array

Code:

trace(assoc_array["sample_id"][1]["label"]);

should give you the label of the second inner element (arrays allways count from zero).
