Yeah i had understood the part about the array size conceptually, but im having trouble understanding how to implement it..

Also a problem is how to pull information from the array sequentially.

Am I correct in hearing that array.curX is more or less like loopindex?

If that?s the case then there is no need for me to have that incrementing variable - ticker.

what i?m trying to do is have 2 rows of information : row one with the X position and row 2 with the Y position. The idea that i might be able to record all the sprites positions or the mouse position for example.

But also looking for something incredibly simple. A lot of times programming examples can get too complex to understand fundamental concepts. I think the manual needs more information on this feature. or more practical examples. the best video i found was this youtube.com/watch

incidentally i actually got it working saving and displaying the value of the x position...then i got confused about how to save both X and Y. do you do it in the same loop?

conceptual problems.

hey im newby...trying to store x and y positions of instances in an array then print out the array to a text object

not quit sure how to go about it. got it working for the x diumension but confused about storing and accessing x and y together..

looks like there is no loopindex for array loops so i created a variable and am incrementing on each loop which seems to work
