The idea behind parallel arrays is to create two (or more) arrays in which the elements with the same indices are related.

  import flash.display.Sprite;
  
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){

        var aEmployeeNames:Array = ["A", "P", "C", "H"];
        var aEmployeePhone:Array = ["555-1234", "555-4321", "555-5678", "555-8765"];
        for(var i:Number = 0; i < aEmployeeNames.length; i++) {
          trace("Employee:" + aEmployeeNames[i]);
          trace("Phone Number:" + aEmployeePhone[i]);
        }

    }
