Subject: [Flashcoders] removing a entry from an associative array?


The only solution I see is to create a new array by looping through the array 
like this:

function removeAssociativeEntry (startArray, entryName) {
    newarray=[];
    for (var i in StartArray) {
        if (entryName<>i) {
            newarray [i]=startArray[i];
        }
    }
    return (newarray);
}

This seems a bit silly, especially since I don't know how long these arrays are 
gonna be. Is thery any inbuilt function for getting 
the index of a associative entry?

/David
