help accessing global array..

[kphung]

Hi, I'm declaring an array with a global scope, filling with data from end to the beginning ie using the absolute value of the value returned from the function getCurrentBarIndex().....

I can't seem to access the data...
Here's a sample:

var vArrayglobal = new Array (cArrywidth , cArrysze );


function preMain() {

}


function main() {
nIndex = getCurrentBarIndex();
var nAbsIndex = Math.abs(nIndex);

const cOffset1 = 1;

// avoid the 1st and 2nd items since they don't provide data
var nMaxIndex = getNumBars() - 3;

vArrayglobal[nAbsIndex] = [high(), low(), close()];

//if we are the beginning then can't get any items before it
if( nAbsIndex - cOffset1 <= nMaxIndex )
{
// doesn't work here
vArrayglobal[nAbsIndex][3] =
vArrayglobal[nAbsIndex+cOffset1][0];
//should of been able to get the previous item
}

}

any help would be kindly appreciated....
thanks

Hi kp,

the method in which you are declaring the array is not valid in JavaScript. Take a look at this file, it is a primer on setting up arrays

Hey Steve

I looked at the link that you sent and found it to do the trick... Having never done javascript before it was a great help. Thanks for the response...
