ARRAY VARIABLES

I'm having a hard time creating an array that has a dimensional size defined by another variable
    var partCount = size(evaluateQuery(context, definition.sheetMetalParts));
    var flatSizes = [partCount];
When I try to store things into flatSizes, [0] dimension takes a value but when the code loops back to store something in [1], I get a "Array index 1 out of bounds.".  It feels like I not defining the array size properly.

flatSizes[i] = getExtents(boundingBox, 3, inch);That is how I'm trying to store the map values.  I'v been searching and am not finding clear answers on this one.

    You're currently making an array containing the variable partCount. Accordingly, flatSizes always contains a single element, so it always has a size of 1. To make flatSizes properly, use makeArray instead.
