  I know to declare an array:

  var a:Array<Dynamic>=[....];

  
  I am making a tile.I tried:
  

  class Map 
  {
      public static var myMap:Array<Int>;
      public function new() 
      {
           myMap = [
             [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1], 
             [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], 
             [1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], 
             [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1], 
             [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], 
             [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
             ];
      }
      
  }

  
  I get Array<Int> should be Int.
  How to declare this array in haxe?
  thanks

  public static var myMap:Array<Array<Int>>;

  However since it's a static var it scopes to the class not the instance so you don't need to define it in new ( each instance will effectively be redefining it to the same thing ), not sure what difference inline makes in this situation but maybe...
  

  public static var myMap:Array<Array<Int>> = [
             [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1], 
             [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], 
             [1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], 
             [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1], 
             [1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1], 
             [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
             ];

  
  If you only need 1 and 0 then Bool maybe better, but more typing :)
