Just checking on a few bugs of mine...

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi Andrew. Item 1 is not a bug. Livecode has to parse the entire array, and very large arrays will be sluggish. It would be better to check the contents of your array with a script and just put the element you are interested in in the message box, or else, if it is formatted right, that is the first level key being a numbered key and the second level being the names of columns in a datagrid, you could just set the dgdata of a datagrid to your array. Since a datagrid only parses the visible data for display, it will be much faster to view your data. 

eg 
myArray[1][column1]
myArray[1][column2]
myArray[2][column1]
myArray[2][column2]
