Removing items in a Array based on label

[armyvisual]

Hello!

I am looking for a way to remove items from an array, via label. Or find a way to get the index number of an array, by specifiying the label name, so i can dynamically remove array items.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi
Well the truth is, that to my knowledge Flash was no function to retrieve the index number of a specific label in an array or to remove a specific label from an array.
But that’s ok, because you create your own functions and the reuse them as with any other function.

So let’s say I want to find out what index number the word “tree” has in the array
objects = [“apple”,”computer”,”Cd”,”tree”,” girlfriend”]; 
test=”tree”

position_test = findIndex(objects,test);

function findIndex (objects,test) {
i=0;
while (i<objects.length) {
if (objects[i] == test) {indexnumber= i;}
/*please pay attention if you happen to have two objects with the same name, indexnumer will return the last one. To counteract this you can write a after indexnumber =i; i=objects.length; , in this way the first occurrence of the specified label will be returned */
i++;}
return indexnumber };

To remove the specified label just use splice(i.e. object.splice(position_test,1);

Hope it works
