AFAIK there is no way to explicitly set the internal pointer of the array to a spcified place. I used a function which basically looped trough the array until it got to the correct depth, and then returned it by reference....but it's not very efficient :SWhy would you ever want to do that other than to waste cycles? can't recall what it was exactly, but I believe it was a case where I didn't know the key of the array, nor the value, but knew the "place" in the array.
