I wanted to use two changeable values to make an array. But the stuff just refuse to work:



This gave me:
main.agc:94: error: Unexpected token "imagewidth", Array dimension must be an integer literal or a constant

I later tried using those fancy 'constants' for imageHeight and imageWidth, but that screwed up in new ways:
main.agc:94: error: Unexpected token "getmemblockint", Array dimension must be an integer literal or a constant

I got so desperate that I even tried looking in the manual. I'm pretty much stuck.

Try this:

dim imgArray[imageWidth,imageHeight] as integer

EDIT: You'll probably want to subtract 1 from imageWidth and imageHeight for the array, too, since the arrays in Tier 1 really deal with upper bounds instead of lengths.

if you not have a constant you can resize with .length=
i agree for a basic language it not should be a stumbling block.
but i recommend the new array commands.

Thanks, dim and subtract fixed it! No clue as to the deeper logic, (I really should read up on this) but things are working now.
