Question

I would like to delete a item from my array and still have the same index for every item afterwards.

Example

var arr:Array = new Array();
arr[1] = 'One';
arr[2] = 'Two';
arr[3] = 'Three';

arr.splice(2, 1);

for(var index in arr) {
    trace(index+':'+arr[index]);
}

Outputs:

1:One
2:Three

And should ouput

1:One
3:Three

Anyone that could help me a little bit here? 🙂

Answer 1

I found a solution to my problem.

Instead of using a array, i’ll use a object to hold my items. Like this

var objArr = {1: 'One', 2: 'Two', 3: 'Three'};

And when I delete i do like this.

delete objArr[1];

I know I wont get the array functions then. But in my case I don’t need them.
