Initializing multidimensional array in a class

Hi,
How can I initialize a multidimensional array in C++. Below doesn't work. Is there any way other than looping?

Code:

---

//Header file
class Arena {
        private:
                int map[2][2];
};

//CPP file
Arena::Arena() {
        map= {
                    {1,2},
                    {3,4}
                  };
}

---

I am using MS 2005 C++ express edition.

Thanks for the reply.

How can I do the initialisation?

You would normally initialize a class member in the initialization list. However, you cannot initialize an array in this way. You have to assign new values to each entry in the array. Just give a new value for each one, e.g. map[0][0] = 1;.
