Subject: Re: Objects put into a declared array

Justin & lasitha,

Many thanks for replying, Muchly appreciated.

My aim was to have an array of shapes that can be controlled my the 
array.

I think both this and the other below are what i was after and so 
hopefully i can continue my little shoes program.

>(0..25).each do |p|

>          @myarray[p] = oval(0,0,20,20)
>          @myarray[p].move = x,y

>          @myarray[p] = oval(0,0,20,20).move(x,y)

> The way you've got it ruby will look for an attribute writer
> method[3], #move=, on that object and try to assign the array [x, y]
> to it.  It would be odd to have an attribute named move (since it's a
> verb) - doesn't sound like something _why would create :).

I firmly believed it was my misunderstanding of what i had read that 
caused me the problem regarding the above. I saw the way it was used by 
Karel Mina����k but I'm a bit pig headed (stubborn) and wanted to inject 
something of me into my code.

Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

and I will goto those links and read up some more.

thanks again,

dave.
