Declare it with only one element, then use _ArrayAdd to add on however many are needed. Include Ubound() to keep element [0] = number of elements:

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $MyArray[1]

For $n = 0 to Random(0, 10, 1)
     _ArrayAdd($MyArray, $n * 2)
Next

$MyArray[0] = Ubound($MyArray) - 1

_ArrayDisplay($MyArray, "Table of numbers")

Hope that helps!
