I'm using HLA and having a bit of a problem in accessing Arrays
Declaring them doesn't seem to be a problem.
But accessing it seems to throw abunch of errors

Element_Address = Base_Address + index * Element_Size

Just how the hell do you do the element_address part

i understand the 'base_address index * element_size'
but not that element_address
i've tried for example
a[1] = a + index*4;
and other ways that didn't work

how the heck do you do this? i tried the instructions on the 'Art of assembly Language' to no avail.
 
I think i got it, not sure i will paste it, someone feel free to comment an tell me if i done it right, if not tell me what i did wrong.
thanks in Advance.

program SampleArray;
#include ("stdlib.hhf")
static;

Sample: int32[9] := [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];

begin SampleArray;

mov(8,ebx); //moving element (object) 8 into EBX
shl(2,ebx);
mov(Sample[ebx],eax);
stdout.put(Sample[ebx]); //printing element in ebx

end SampleArray;
 

program SampleArray;
#include ("stdlib.hhf")
static;

Sample: int32[9] := [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];

begin SampleArray;

mov(8,ebx); //moving element (object) 8 into EBX
mov(Sample[ebx+ebx],eax);
stdout.put(Sample[ebx+ebx]); //printing element in ebx

end SampleArray;
