in the following function, there is an array 'myArray' which is filled with data from SoftVNS. I want to call a number of functions on it - myArray.length works, but many others do not including 'indexOf' and 'lastIndexOf' as in

var index = array.lastIndexOf(searchElement[, fromIndex]);

could anyone tell me if I am missing something or is the entire JavaScript API not implemented in Max?

// list -- populates the array with the list

    myArray = arrayfromargs(arguments);

    post("n received list " + myArray);

    post("n the list contains :" + (arguments.length-1) + " elements");

    post("n itemNumber: " + itemNumber + " is: " + arguments[itemNumber] + "n");

    post("The largest number in the list was: " + num + " at index: " + theIndex + "nn");

array-lastindexof

In your example I don't see the use of lastIndexOf.

But, just in case, mind you that 'arguments' is -not- an array (made that mistake myself). You first need to call arrayFromArgs. Have another close look at the arrayfromargs documentation in JavascriptInMax.pdf
