Description
Conversion function; creates a new, empty array or converts specified elements to an array. Using

Example
Usage 1: The following example adds items to an array by using the array's index and then by
using the Array class's
var myArray:Array = Array();
myArray.push(12);
trace(myArray); //traces 12
myArray[4] = 7;
trace(myArray); //traces 12,undefined,undefined,undefined,7
Usage 2: The following example creates an array of length 4 but with no elements defined:
var myArray:Array = Array(4);
trace(myArray.length);
trace(myArray); // traces undefined,undefined,undefined,undefined
Usage 3: The following example creates an array with three defined elements:
var myArray:Array = Array(["firstElement", "secondElement", "thirdElement"]);
trace (myArray); // traces firstElement,secondElement,thirdElement
Note: Unlike the Array class constructor, the Array() function does not use the keyword new.
