"Is thery any inbuilt function for getting the index of a associative entry"
Associative arrays in Flash don't have indexes. They just have keys.
The following are equivalent:
var a:Array = [];
a["foo"] = "bar";
var a:Object = {};
a.foo = "bar";
var a:Object = {foo:"bar"};
In any of these cases, you can just say:
delete a["foo"];
