In fact, it isn't necessary to set the the customPropertySet if you 
don't need to access elements of it directly. If you simply want to 
store an array you can do this:

on saveArray tMyArray
set the customProperties["storedArray1"] of this stack to tMyArray
end saveArray

to retrieve:

function getArray
put the customProperties["storedArray1"] of this stack into tMyArray
return tMyArray
end getArray

you can store as many arrays as you like this way, as 
customPropertySets are creatable and accessible using the above array 
notation.
