No, certainly you don't. However, you may have something like
var a = new Array();
a[0] = ...;
a[1] = ...;
In the VB version I read data in from text files - is there a similar
feature in JavaScript -
Reading files or rather accessing resources is not a feature of the
language, but a feature of an API that can be used by the language.
As for reading text files/resources, you can load the file per URI in an
iframe and read its contents using the DOM, or you can use the
IXMLHTTPRequest interface to make a request and retrieve the response text.

or at least soem thing mroe flaxible than lines and lines of assignments?
var a1 = new Array(
...,
...
);
Since JavaScript 1.3:
var a2 = [
...,
...
];
