Array from ASP to Flash?

[Andy Petroski]

I'm trying to get the value of variables from an ASP page where the variable
name is created dynamically in the ASP page based on the number of records
returned from the database search:

55 records returned =
compName1 = "xxxxx"
compName2 = "xxxxx"
.. . . . . .
compName55 = "xxxxx"

ASP returns all of these variables in the string back to Flash. But I can't
figure out how to get these variables out of the string for use in Flash.

I've tried:

for (var i = 0; i<dataReceiver.intCounter; i++) {
x = i+1;
trace("dataReceiver.compName" + x);
}

This only returns . . .

compName1, compName2 . . . . compName55

How do I get the values of those variable names?

You might wanna try:

trace(eval("dataReceiver.compName" + x));

By the way: what is that x = i+1; doing there?

Thank you, thank you, thank you . . . I thought that might be it but
couldn't quite put it together.

try:
for (prop in myArray){ // or any object for that matter.
trace("variable :"+prop+" value: "+[prop])
}

// remember this iterates backwards.

hope this helps
