I have a person object and wants to store it into a global ArrayCollection I have made. Works great in normal scope:

var s = new ArrayCollection();
s.add(new person("Knud", "Mikkelsen", 35));

The problem is when I want to add people inside my jQuery function "mainFunction".

I can't seem to get it right. I know it's something to do with scope and I have to wrap something in functions like in my ArrayCollection. Please help me - thanks a lot.

function ArrayCollection() {
 var myArray = new Array;
 return {
  empty: function () {
   myArray.splice(0, myArray.length);
  },
  add: function (myElement) {
   myArray.push(myElement);
  },
  getAll: function () {
   return myArray;
  }
 }
}

function person(firstName, lastName, age) {
 this.firstName = firstName;
 this.lastName = lastName;
 this.age = parseInt(parseFloat(age));
}

function mainFunction() {
 //....
 var s = new ArrayCollection();
 s.add(new person("Knud", "Mikkelsen", 35));

 $.getJSON(url, function (data) {
  for (var x = 0; x < data.length; x++) {

   var myPerson = new person(data[x].FirstName.toString(), data[x].LastName.toString(), data[x].Age.toString());
   s.add(myPerson);
  }
 });

 alert(drawArray(s.getAll()));
}

function drawArray(myArray) {
 var v = "";
 for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
  v += myArray[i].firstName + " " + myArray[i].lastName + " (" + myArray[i].age + ")\n";
 }
 return v;
}
