Title: problem with arrays Doing this: testArray[0] within the loop will always insert the value in the 0 slot of the array, so your loop is pointless. Use the num variable to increase the array postion targeted. Also, addItem is not necessary. To get the expected results, do this:

as you go, do use additem() or addItemAt(). Though usually, if you are building an entire dataProvider, you want to wait until you are done, then re-assign the array to the dataProvider. Tracy From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Merrill

Thanks. So could someone confirm my reasoning on building an app for Flash 7, having to buy two licenses. Do I really need two licenses? One for development at my company and one for deployment on my clients server? So I have to recommend purchasing two expensive Flex 1.5 licenses

Why not just set up a development server that could be used as the final production server as well, and develop your code on it? Then you buy one license and use it for development and deployment. You could still just deploy the SWFs. Just develop on the client's servers to begin

I agree with your comment about navigation it was too linear, you never knew where you were in the application so a menu breaking things out would be nice instead of feeling like you have to watch the whole thing in one long linear fashion. Kudos though for using Flex, nice use of the
