Associative Array, not array.
Basically, he means Flash's Object.
var o = {};
o.prop = "val";

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;
}
