How to clear an EventVariable array

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to write a small sequencer/buttonpush-recorder in a SoundToGlobalController.

It more or less works, but now I want to push a single button and clear the entire recorded sequence/EventVariable array.

Is there a clever way to do that? Or do I have to write a zero into every single position in my array going at it one by one?

Here is my code:

| anArray |

anArray := EventVariable new size: 500.

(!clearSeq true: (((anArray @< !WritePtr) <~ 0)) false: (nil)).

(!RecordOn true: ((anArray @< !WritePtr) <~ (!column * (!Row eq: 2))) false: (nil)),

(anArray @< !ReadPtr rounded)

its great to see some EventVariable Array assignment code!  This is such a powerful feature, an event driven array in Capytalk.

Your way will work. But maybe there is a way to have two arrays and alternate between them?

The two array way might be good. I just have to have the same button write a lot of  0 into my original array...
I had just hoped for a magic button that would clear it for me, but this will work.
Thanks!
