need to make an equation into a variable

[fiuPikeOY]

Hello,

I have several arrays that are like this...

ch1sounds['test1.mp3', 'test2.mp3'...]
ch2sounds['test1.mp3', 'test2.mp3'...]
ch3sounds['test1.mp3', 'test2.mp3'...]

and I have the following expression to get the correct sound file to play

soundToLoad = "ch" + chapter+ "sounds[" + i + "]";

but this is returning for ch1sounds[0], and I need it to return the value of ch1sounds[0], which is test1.mp3. I tried the eval function and it's returning undefined.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Try using eval like this:

soundToLoad = eval("ch"+chapter+"sounds")[i];

i think you are trying to complicate it

soundToLoad = "ch"+chapter+"sounds"+i;

ought to do given that chapter and i are the variables

Actually, I solved the problem by using a 2-dimensional array.

Bill, remember that it's reading from an array so you would need the [] there somewhere right?

Thanks to both.
