can i put vars and expressions into an array?

@webewitchJun 12.2007

hello – i have this code (and other variants) which i need to put into an array but i can’t figure out how:

var so = new SWFObject(“../lasdunashibiscos/dunas3.swf”, “las dunas”, “468”, “60”, “9”, “#ffffff”); so.useExpressInstall(‘../2007flashes/expressinstall.swf’); so.write(“flashcontent”);

I need it in this kind of manner but this of course doesn’t work:

contents[0]= ‘var so = new SWFObject(“../lasdunashibiscos/dunas3.swf”, “las dunas”, “468”, “60”, “9”, “#ffffff”); so.useExpressInstall (“../2007flashes/expressinstall.swf”); so.write(“flashcontent”)’;

Any help will be much appreciated.

@jsakalosJun 12.2007 — #You are putting [I]string[/I] with code into the array. If you want to run it the eval should help you.

[code=php]
 
 eval(contents[0]);
 
 [/code]

@webewitchauthorJun 12.2007 — #sorry but I can't get that to work either - tried this both with and without the obliques before the semicolons but doesn't work:

eval (contents[3]); var so2 = new SWFObject("../uktv/z132.swf", "goldacre", "468", "60", "9", "#ffffff"); so2.useExpressInstall ("../2007flashes/expressinstall.swf"); so2.write("flashcontent2");

Am I doing it all wrong?

@toicontienJun 12.2007 — #

var so = [];
 so.push(new SWFObject("../lasdunashibiscos/dunas3.swf", "las dunas", "468", "60", "9", "#ffffff"));
 so[0].useExpressInstall('../2007flashes/expressinstall.swf');
 so[0].write("flashcontent");

Let's make it simplest possible. Try to run this code:

[code=php]
 
 var contents = new Array();
 contents.push('alert("Hello World");');
 eval(contents[0]);
 
 [/code]

Got the idea?

@toicontienJun 12.2007 — #Using eval in this instance is like hitting a thumbtack with a hammer. All you need is an array. The code I posted will work just fine. No need to make a copy of the window object and fire up eval() for this.

@jsakalosJun 12.2007 — #He is writing he wants to put [B]code[/B] into the array. I don't what for but I answered exactly his question.

Your code works for sure putting [B]object[/B] into array. So let him choose what he really needs in the context of his application.

I'm also trying to avoid eval as much as possible. ?

@webewitchauthorJun 12.2007 — #sorry guys and thank you both for trying to help me - i hadn't ecplained myself clearly.

I'll have several flashes in this format :

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

var so = new SWFObject("../lasdunashibiscos/dunas3.swf", "las dunas", "468", "60", "9", "#ffffff");

so.useExpressInstall('../2007flashes/expressinstall.swf');

so.write("flashcontent");

var so1= new SWFObject("../lasdunashibiscos/dunas2.swf", "las dunas2", "468", "60", "9", "#ffffff");
   so1.useExpressInstall('../2007flashes/expressinstall.swf');
   so1.write("flashcontent1");

</script>

etc etc.

...and I have a code that will put them in random order based on the array contents[0] etc.

var contents=new Array()

contents[0]=

etc - I've been using this with gifs and jpgs and it works fine - so I was hoping to be able to put the arrays with the above two examples (and more) in in place of the gifs. I apologise for testing your patience again.
