looking for array assignment syntax

Hi Fellow code-naughts. How is it going.

I m trying to do this:

Dim $myArray[4]

;long arduous codes insert here

$myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4] ; <======= and obviously this gives you an error.

#cs 

so besides doing the 

$myArray[0] = 1;

$myArray[1] = 2;

.....

any faster way of doing this?

thanks

#ce

Second question: all local variables, even arrays are destroyed at the end of their scope right? I am not sure about array being a pointer or not in autoit.
