well - if it's an associative array, then the name of the element is its
index, so that answers your second question. And if you set the element
to undefined, you will get the same result as the loop you are doing...
startArray[entryName] = undefined;
(also, perhaps your code works but I'm not aware that <> is a valid
operator in Flash - generally you'd use != instead)

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?
