Array.pop( ) Method
Flash 5
remove the last element of an array
array.pop()
Returns
The value of the last element of array, which is also deleted.
Description
The pop( ) method deletes the last element of an array, reduces the array's length by 1, and returns the value of the deleted element. Compare it with the shift( ) method, which deletes the first element of an array.
Example
myList = new Array("one", "two", "three"); trace ("Now deleting " + myList.pop()); // myList is now: ["one", "two"]
