Problem with Duplicate Movie Clip which is tracked in an Array

Question

I have a problem with my inventory code using Shared Objects.
What i did was to track the collected items in an array. Each time
the user collects an item, the original iconMC is duplicated and
loads a picture of the item (function loadImage). However, my
problem is that this retains the original array so even if I
already added new items into the inventory, the newest item doesn't
show. original array length = 2, new array length = 3; the last
item doesn't show. If I reload my flash, its the only time that
this shows. Now if I get an item and lessen the inventory, it still
retains the original length and doubles (or triples, depending on
how many items i lessened) the last item.
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("lakbayUser",
var i:Number = so.data.currentUserIndex;
var ctr = 0;
var iconCtr;
var iconArray: Array; //temporary storage of items placed
inside icon
function selectIcon(num){
eval("iconMC"+num)._alpha = 0;
so.data.users
[15][0] = true;
so.data.users[15][1] = iconArray
//loads the next icon
function setNextIconMC(itemCtr, iconCtr){
if(iconCtr > 0) {
newName = "iconMC" + iconCtr;
newPos = 130 * iconCtr;
_root.itemaHolderMC.iconHolderMC.iconMC0.duplicateMovieClip(newName,iconCtr+1);//does
not duplcate if unloadMovie is called
this[newName]._x = newPos;
this["iconMC"+iconCtr].enabled = true;
this["iconMC"+iconCtr]._alpha = 100;
loadMovie("gamit/icon"+itemCtr+".jpg",_root.itemaHolderMC.iconHolderMC[newName]);
trace(_root.itemaHolderMC.iconHolderMC[newName]);
else {
iconMC0.enabled = true;
iconMC0._alpha = 100;
loadMovie("gamit/icon"+itemCtr+".jpg",_root.itemaHolderMC.iconHolderMC.iconMC0);
//loads all the icons into the container
function loadImage(){
iconCtr=0;
iconArray = new Array();
for(itemCtr = 0; itemCtr < so.data.users
[14].length; itemCtr++){
if(so.data.users[14][itemCtr] == true){
iconArray[iconCtr] = itemCtr;
setNextIconMC(itemCtr,iconCtr);
iconCtr++;
if(iconCtr==0){
iconMC0._visible = false;
else iconMC0._visible = true;
loadImage();
so.flush();
stop();

hey there yenniie - each time you update the array you must
also call 'flush' to update the SharedObject. also please use the
'attach code' button to post code, as you can see what happened in
your post with the ' i ' value. So assuming I'm interpreting the
the missing characters correctly the method should be:
