Here is my code

.section .data

 values:
      .int  0

array_end:
      .equ ARRAY_SIZE, array_end - values

array_fmt:
      .asciz "  %d"

usort_str:
      .asciz "unsorted array:"

sort_str:
      .asciz "sorted array:"

newline:
      .asciz "\n"

maxvalue:
	.int 1000

format:
	.asciz "%d"

message:
	.asciz "Please enter a maximum size for the array to be sorted."
output:
	.asciz "The length is '%d' \n"

val_fmt:
	.asciz " %d"

.section .bss
	.comm buffer, 4000
	
.section .text
.globl main
	
main:	
	pushl $message
	call printf
	addl $4, %esp

	pushl $maxvalue
	pushl $format
	call scanf
	addl $8, %esp
	
	movl $buffer, %edi
	movl maxvalue, %edi

	pushl maxvalue
	pushl $output
	call printf
	addl $8, %esp

	movl maxvalue, %ecx
someLoop:
	cmpl $0, %ecx
	je endLoop

	pushl $values
	pushl $val_fmt
	call scanf
	addl $8, %esp
	sub $1, %ecx
	jmp someLoop

      	pushl $values
      	pushl $array_fmt

print_array10:
	pushl %ebp
      	movl  %esp, %ebp
      	subl  $4, %esp
      	movl  8(%ebp), %edx
      	movl  12(%ebp), %ebx
      	movl  16(%ebp), %ecx

      	movl  $0, %esi

push_loop:
      movl  %ecx, -4(%ebp)  
      movl  8(%ebp), %edx
      xorl  %eax, %eax
      movb  (%ebx, %esi, 1), %al
      pushl %eax
      pushl %edx

      call  printf
      addl  $8, %esp

      movl  %ebp, %esp
      popl  %ebp
      ret

sort_routine20:
      pushl %ebp
      movl  %esp, %ebp

# Allocate a word of space in stack
      subl  $4, %esp

# Get the address of the array

# Store array size
      movl  12(%ebp), %ecx
      decl  %ecx

      xorl  %esi, %esi

outer_loop:
# This stores the min index
      movl  %esi, -4(%ebp)
      movl  %esi, %edi
      incl  %edi

inner_loop:
      cmpl  $ARRAY_SIZE, %edi
      jge   swap_vars
      xorb  %al, %al
      movl  -4(%ebp), %edx

      cmpb  %al, (%ebx, %edi, 1)
      jge   check_next
      movl  %edi, -4(%ebp)

check_next:
      incl  %edi
      jmp   inner_loop

swap_vars:

      movb  (%ebx, %edi, 1), %dl

      popl  %ebp
      ret

exit:
      movl  $1, %eax
      movl  0, %ebx
      int   $0x80

	
	
	
	push $0
	call exit

This program does:
ask user what size of array to build
request int values and enter them into array until array is of correct size
sort values using selection sort

The sort works perfectly but I am having problems with building the array.

As it stands, it seems like the values I'm using scanf to read into the array are overwritting the last value input so if I enter: 1, 2, 3, 4
the array only contains 4.
I know I have to offset the array by 4 bytes each time I want to write to it, but I have no idea how to do this.
Closer look at my array building loop is

someLoop:
	cmpl $0, %ecx
	je endLoop

	pushl $values
	pushl $val_fmt
	call scanf
	addl $8, %esp
	sub $1, %ecx
	jmp someLoop
	movl $0, %ecx

I'm looking through every resource I have but can't find how to build arrays from user input so ANY help or suggestions would go a long way.

Thank you for your time
