i'm trying to make an array of objects, each changeable and easy to query, which is the reason i chose JS over regular max.

everything worked fine on one onject, but with an array things go wrong, i'm propbably missing something basic; all my function calls give the same error as in the title.

i'm using the o'reilly book, i know several people on here use it, so a pointer there might be useful.

for (var i = 0; i < netsize; i++){    

i hope this isolates the problem clearly.

btw is there a way to import code as in java? it's not very practical to have everything in a single textfile.

any help of course greatly apreciated, thanks!

here's the code:

//globals
inlets = 1;
outlets = 2;
autowatch = 1;
post("init");

var net = new Array(netsize);
for (var i = 0; i < netsize; i++){	
	net[i] = new node(i);	
}

//create array in object
node.connectArray = new Array(100);

//adding a property to the object
node.depth = 1;

net[1].connectArray[1] = 1;
var x = net[1].connectArray[1];
post(x);//error!

    this.connectArray = new Array(100);

    //adding a property to the object

//startnode
function node(i){
	//create array in object
	this.connectArray = new Array(100);
	//adding a property to the object
	this.depth = 1;
}

net[1].connectArray[1] = 1;
var x = net[1].connectArray[1];
post(x);//error!

thanks, i'll try that rightaway, but i should be able to do it from outside the function or am i mistaken?

or can i only change properties from outside the function and add them from inside?

or maybe only an instance of a function?


some oo-problems i think:TypeError, x has no properties
