JavaScript For Loops

[jumpOnCommand]

I think this is the correct forum;

I'm used to using ActionScript, and I think thats where Im making my mistakes
when scripting with Javascript.

This is a simplified script of what I need. myNumber3 should output 10, yet
nothing comes back. Can you see what I'm missing?

for( x=0; x<5; x++){
var myNumber[x]=10;
alert (myNumber3);
}

Thanks

You never create a myNumber3 variable. Your syntax for creating the variable -
myNumber[x] - is going to generate an array, with each element of the array set
to 10. You could then have alert(myNumber[3]); however, the script will error
out on the first loop, as the fourth element of the array (myNumber[3]) won't
yet exist. Taking the alert out of the loop should work.

You have to declare your variables and ( almost always ) initiate your
arrays.

function num(){
var myNumber = [];
for( var x=0; x<5; x++){
myNumber[x]=10;
}
alert (myNumber[3]);
}
