Try this, 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) ); trace( myArray1); // the function with recursion function removeElements(arr, level) { for (var i = 0; i<arr.length; i++) { var tempArr = arr[i]; if(Number(tempArr[1] ) < Number(level)) { arr.splice(i, 1); arguments.callee(arr, level); } } } removeElements(myArray1, 0); trace( myArray1); ---- Arindam

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?
