Simple syntax query

[hisdirt]

Hi there Gurus!

Just a quick noob problem, could anyone please tell me how I need to imput these array values?

Arrays:
var houseRef = new Array();
houseRef['L1a'] = new Array (250,100,350,700);
houseRef['L1b'] = new Array (600,100,350,700);
houseRef['L1c'] = new Array (950,100,350,700);

Using array values:
Goal:
context.drawImage(img, 250, 100, 350, 700, 0, 0, 200, 400);

This works:
context.drawImage(img, houseRef['L1a'][0],houseRef['L1a'][1],houseRef['L1a'][2],houseRef['L1a'][3], 0, 0, 200, 400);

This doesnt:
context.drawImage(img, houseRef['L1a'], 0, 0, 200, 400);

Thanks for your help in advance!

You have to do it the way it works. The other way is just setting the 2nd parameter to an array. It will not break an array out to 4 arguments.

Awesome, thats really good to know Eric!

One other query then, can you see a way to accomplish with a less code intensive method? Like a series of numeric variables rather than an array?

Not too sure what the options are when youre wanting to use a series of numbers like this.

Thanks again!

for(var ind in houseRef){
    var pnt = houseRef[ind];
    context.drawImage(img, pnt[0], pnt[1], pnt[2], pnt[3], 0, 0, 200, 400);
}
