Im really new to Javascript and i feel this is probably an obvious one. Im just trying to add a few number boxes to a patch and establish patch cord connections. I can add the boxes okay but cannot make the connections. Ive looked at the example patches and searched a few videos and as far as I can tell the syntax here is correct - although its clearly not :) - so any help would be hugely appreciated.

        if (a = p.getnamed("number1"));

a = p.newdefault(300 + (i*30), 120+ (i*30),"number");

//error message saying number1 is not defined

var a;
var p = this.patcher;
var number = new Array(3);
function bang() {
		if (a = p.getnamed("number1"));
		p.remove(a);
	if (a = p.getnamed("number2"));
		p.remove(a);
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
a = p.newdefault(300 + (i*30), 120+ (i*30),"number");
a.varname = "number[i]";

p.connect(number[1], 0, number[2], 0);
//error message saying number1 is not defined
}
}

Move the closing brace 2 lines from the bottom ABOVE p.connect

(and of course an array index starts from 0 so number[0] is the first one)
