Looping through text boxes with a number in the variable, to assign data from an array

Question

I know this question was probably already asked, however I cant seem to find it.

I have an multi-dimensional array var values=[["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thur", "Fri", "Sat"],["Jan", "Feb","Mar"]] I then have a text fields labeled textField0 and textField1 and so on.

I would like to create a loop that assigns the array values to the text boxes. Somthing like this (I know this wont work)

//x is the current array
var x=0;

var i=0;
while(i<values[x].length){

textField[i].text=values[x][i];

}

The user can now change the value of x to choose to display the second sub-array of the months, and the text fields will be populated. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Put the TextFields in an array as well:

var textFields:Array = [textField0, textField1];

Then use a loop to iterate over both arrays:

for (var i:uint = 0; i< textFields.length; ++i)
{
   textFields[i].text =  values[0][i];
}
