1180: Call to a possibly undefined method arrays

Question

Greeting, I just started to learn scripting and am trying to make a memory game for a school project. I have been able to solve most of the issues myself but now I stumbled a ERROR i can't fix :/

1180: Call to a possibly undefined method arrays on line 80, in the Function setupGame() the cardValues = new arrays();

package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.ui.*;

public class Memory extends MovieClip

Answer 1

arrays is not a class, you probably wanted to create an Array.

See your error actually tells you everything you need to know:

1180: Call to a possibly udefined method arrays on line 80

Says that you are trying to call a not existing method which is called arrays on line 80. I don't understand why people fear the errors and warnings of the compilers, they meant to help you, you just got to understand english.
If you don't understand the error, then there is the error code, search for the error code on google and you will find a solution. :)
