The FlexScript Array class has methods such as push() and pop() similar to vectors in other programming languages.

The FlexSim Array class is capitalized. Capitalization matters. The syntax in your script gives a compile error:

array channel = Array(0);

Flexscript Error	Unknown type array in declaration of variable channel

This is the syntax you want:

Array channel = Array(num_channels);

See Help > FlexScript API Reference > Array for more examples and documentation on how to use the Array class.

You can set a Vec3 value as an Array into a label. Then you initialize a Vec3 variable with the label values of the Array.

Vec3 curVec3 = Vec3(item.vector[1],item.vector[2],item.vector[3]);
// initialize a Vec3 variable with the array values of a label at item
curVec3.x += 1;
item.size = curVec3;

If you need a multi dimensional storage structure at a label, please store the data as a table at label node. You can try to store the table as a bundle structure.
