- Thanks Michael - that's an elegant solution.
Don't worry about the array name though - just a simplified example for the sake of the list.
Thanks again all. T. Michael Keesey wrote:
Quite simple: for (var key:String in myArray1) { if (myArray1[key][1] < 0) { myArray1.splice(Number(key), 1); } } BTW, "myArray1" is not a great name for a variable ... why not "scoreRecords" or "scores" or something? Also, storing different types of data in an array is a recipe for confusions. The element arrays would be better as objects, e.g.: {name: "A", score: -1}.Then the code would be more readable: for (var key:String in scoreRecords) { var record:Object = scoreRecords[key]; if (record.score < 0) { scoreRecords.splice(Number(key), 1); } } Or the whole thing could just be an associative array (i.e., hash object): var scores:Object = {A: -1, B: -1, C: 0}; // ... for (var key:String in scoreRecords) { if (scoreRecords[key] < 0) { delete scoreRecords[key]; } } On 12/21/06, Mike Cobb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:- Hi everyone, I'm having a braindead moment today, which I was hoping someone could help me with. I have the following array... //Create array with 5 elements var myArray1:Array = new Array(); myArray1.push( new Array("A:", -1) ); myArray1.push( new Array("B:", -1) ); myArray1.push( new Array("C:", 0) ); myArray1.push( new Array("D:", 0) ); myArray1.push( new Array("E:", -1) ); myArray1.push( new Array("F:", 1) ); myArray1.push( new Array("G:", 0) ); myArray1.push( new Array("H:", -1) ); //name, score ...and I'm trying to remove all the elements in myArray1 with a score of less than 0 without sorting/reordering the array at all. I was trying to use a 'for loop', but obviously as the elements are removed, the length of the array changes & causes the wrong elements to be deleted. Can anyone help?
