Delete won't actually remove the element of the array. Itll just remove
whatever was in it. So if your array was length 3 before, it'll still be
length 3 after delete.
function deleteThisFromArray(a:Array, o:Object):Boolean{
for(var i = a.length;i--;){
if(a[i]==o){
a.splice(i,1);
return true;
}
}
return false;
}

Thanks Muzak, I have never used the delete command! I always set
references to null etc.

Subject: [Flashcoders] removing a entry from an associative array?
The only solution I see is to create a new array by looping through
the array like this:
function removeAssociativeEntry (startArray, entryName) {
newarray=[];
for (var i in StartArray) {
if (entryName<>i) {
newarray [i]=startArray[i];
}
}
return (newarray);
}
This seems a bit silly, especially since I don't know how long these
arrays are gonna be. Is thery any inbuilt function for getting the
index of a associative entry?
