Awk question

I am having a problem with an awk program.
What I'm trying to do is have an array element
match on a pattern in the first field.
I can match on the fixed string
but not the pattern. Can anyone help?
This works.
if (myarray[i] == $1 )
print $0
This doesn't work. It won't give me a match although there is one.
if (myarray[i] ~ /$1/ )
print $0
Also, while I'm posting, could someone tell me if it's possible
to have nested case statements in shell?
Thanks in advance,
Bill Bruncati
