var ary:Array = new Array
(
     {name:"John", age:35, reason:"mature game playing adult"},
     {name:"Ian", age:5, reason:"whines when he plays DC"},
     {name:"Ryan", age:"?", reason:"has yet to show up in DC"}
)

// send to AdminTool.trace()
_global.AdminTool.trace("what's my array got that I ain't got?", ary);

// output is a tabbed relational view

(495) what's my array got that I ain't got?:
     2 = [object Object]
