How to push textbox value into Array and recall it - actionscript-3

Question

This is the first time I ask in this website, if there's any mistake and inappropriate thing apologize in advance
I was trying to make my own basketball score board using Action Script 3 but I am stuck on the way of calling a player fouls score and show it individually.
In the picture, the second box is where to type a player number who made a foul and the third box is where the number shows how many times this player has fouled.
I need to know how to code an array store that receives a value from the 'Player' textbox as the player number and stores the fouls count with the specific player's number too (if I type another player number it will count a foul separately and next time I type the exist number it will call out how many times he fouls)

You could use an array, or a dictionary, or even dynamic properties.
Let's assume your text fields are called txtTeam1fouls, txtPlayer, txtFouls, txtTeam2fouls. Let's also say you have a var called curTeam that stores an integer identifier for the team whose player number you enter (for this example, either 1, or 2).
Here is an example of storing a basic object in an Array:
var fouls:Array = []; //create a new empty array
//add a listener for when you type something into the player text input
txtPlayer.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, updatePlayer);
//this function retries a foul record from the array for a specific player
function getFouls(player:int, teamId:int):Object {
//loop through the array until you find a match
for(var i:int=0;i<fouls.length;i++){
if(fouls[i].player === player && fouls[i].team === teamId){
return fouls[i];
}
}
//if no record in the array, return 0
return null;
}
//this function updates the foul text field when you change the what's in the player text field
function updatePlayer(e:Event):void {
var foulRecord = getFouls(int(txtPlayer.text), curTeam);
//if a foul record exists, use it's foul count, if not use 0
txtFouls.text = foulRecord ? foulRecord.fouls.toString() : 0;
}
//call this function whenever you add a new foul record.
function addFoul(player:int, teamId:int):void {
//first, see if there is an existing foul record in the array
var foulObj:Object = getFouls(player, teamId);
if(!foulObj){
//if there was no record, create one, then push (add) it to the array
foulObj = {team: teamId, player: player, fouls: 1};
fouls.push(foulObj);
}else{
//if there is an existing record, increment it.
foulObj.fouls++;
}
//now update the totals for each team
var team1Ctr:int = 0;
var team2Ctr:int = 0;
for(var i:int=0;i<fouls.length;i++){
switch(fouls[i].team){
case 1:
team1Ctr++;
break;
case 2:
team2Ctr++;
break;
}
}
txtTeam1Fouls.text = team1Ctr.toString();
txtTeam2Fouls.text = team2Ctr.toString();
}
