I don't see what the problem is, everything you've done should work. — Richard Dalton

yes but right now bgCustom.items is static values i want dynamic values — Pathik Gandhi

Still not clear what you mean by saying static or dynamic. In that array you can push values, remove values, change values... so what exactly are you trying to achieve? — mamoo

You can add arrays to the end of the array:

bgCustomer.items.push(['val1_1','val1_2','val1_3']);
bgCustomer.items.push(['val2_1','val2_2','val2_3']);

You can also assign arrays at specific indexes. The array will automatically expand if you use an index outside the current size:

bgCustomer.items[0] = ['val1_1','val1_2','val1_3'];
bgCustomer.items[1] = ['val2_1','val2_2','val2_3'];

bgCustom = { 'items':[], 'items_num':3, 'element':'#bg_custom_thumbs', 'next': '#bg_custom_next_thumb', 'prev': '#bg_custom_prev_thumb', 'width':165 };

function PushToItems(a,b,c) {
    var ar = [a,b,c];
    bgCustom.items.push(ar);
}

PushToItems("images/backgrounds/bear-ears_thumb.jpg", "bear-ears.jpg", "Bear-Hair");

That should work for making it a little more dynamic.
