are multiple big arrays allowed?

[integrality]

I need to use 4 arrays: numeric with slots= 30x 200y 0z.

is this gonna to be painful, and/or would be better to have them stored in a global one?

I believe that in MMF2 you can have more than one global array. Is that true?

I don't really understand your question.

You can easily have four different array objects in your frame and it would work perfectly. Thats part of the idea of "object oriented" systems.

I don't know why it would be a pain. Why would making them global making it lesser painful to use?

sorry, I've mistaken: I just wondered if making one single array with ALL values would be better than have it split in 4 ones, I would make it/them global in both cases tho.

and if all this is not too 'painful' (about 2400 values) to be managed by the cpu trough MMF. Hope not <img src="/center/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Well, you have to choose whether the array is for numbers or strings. If you have both, that would be one reason that you would want to have two.

Another, would be that some information would require a large array - large values of x,y,and z. Other information might not. You would save space if you used two arrays, one for the large value of z (as one example), the other for a small value of z.

Only one global array was allowed in MMF1.5 and I don't know if two will work in MMF2, although that was supposed to tbe the case.

I am using several arrays for different things and it works fine. <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I am using MMFdev.

Are they global arrays?

+ how big they are?
