Re: [Dynapi-Help] Array Manipulation

[Michael Pemberton]

There is usefull method of the Array object that you may find of use here.  Splice() allows you to splice a section of the array.  The sintax is arrayName.splice(startIndex,lengthToRemove,valuesToAdd). If you use ButtonArray.splice(buttonToRemoveIndex,1) it will remove that element of the array for you.
