[F8] splice array

[alhurayas]

hi all hope every is in good health

my problem is I have 3 MC in an array which i want visible= false for 2 of them so i tried to splice one out of the array but could not this is the code

on (release) {
	sums_array = new Array("0", "1", "2");
	index = Math.round(Math.random()*sums_array.length);
	sums_array.splice(index, 1);
	trace(index);
	//trace(sums_array);
	for (i=0; i<sums_array.length; i++) {
		_root["ball"+i]._visible = false;
	}
}

hope i made myself clear
by the way i am not too good with array
thankssssssssssss for any help

why not just use an if statement in your for loop to exclude the MC you want to be visible.

for (i=0; i<sums_array.length; i++) {
              if (i!=clipPointer){
                      	_root["ball"+i]._visible = false;
              }
}

try -

on (release) {
arr = [0, 1, 2];
arr.sort(function(){return Math.floor(Math.random()*3)-1});
arr.pop();
trace(arr);
for (var i=0; i<arr.length; i++) _root["ball"+arr[i]]._visible = false;
}
