With the availability of arrays in OBSE 0017, it is quite easy (an useful) to create tree-like arrays to keep data available and organized.

==Introduction==
This sample code allows walking a tree-like array structure
Useful when one needs to access array data sequentially, one at a time, over many frames.
The code allow for returning the previous or the next entry in the structure. When one branch ends, it jumps to the first entry of the next branch.
This sample works on a multi level, tree like array. Each 'branch' of the tree being a StringMap array. The object at the end of the branch must not be a StringMap. Branches mey have different sizes.
==Setup==
This sample uses the following objects:
* qqArrayWalk - a persistent object that holds the script.
* qqGetNext, qqGetPrev and qqReset - persistent objects to be used as actionref
===Usage===
To get the next entry:
qqArrayWalk.Activate qqGetNext 1
let MyObject := qqArrayWalk.aReturnObject
To get the previous entry:
qqArrayWalk.Activate qqGetPrev  1
let MyObject := qqArrayWalk.aReturnObject
To reset the loop to the first entry of the first branch:
qqArrayWalk.Activate qqGetNext, 1
let MyObject := qqArrayWalk.aReturnObject
