deleting item in array

[sarak]

More on arrays...

I'd like to delete an item from an array that I've been populating with movie clips. I have a variable, mainMC, that stores the name of the movie clip that the user is currently interacting with. When the user clicks a button, I would like mainMC deleted from the array. Because the movie clip referenced by mainMC changes constantly, I can't refer to it by name.

I believe I need to search within the array for the contents of mainMC. However, I've been unsuccessful using indexOf. Has anyone worked through a similar situation and would be willing to shed some light on the steps involved?? Thanks!

for (i=0; i<=yourarray.length; i++) {
if (yourarray==mainMC) {
yourarray.splice(i,1)
}
}

for (i=0; i<=yourarray.length; i++) {
	if (yourarray[i]==mainMC) {
yourarray.splice(i,1);
	}
}

oops, lets try that as 'code' shall we?
