itemsArray = ["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 2", "Item 4"]
If I want to remove all elements that match "Item 2" from the Array I would use the following code
for (var i:int = itemsArray.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
if (itemsArray[i] === "Item 2")
{
itemsArray.splice(i, 1);
}
}
If you notice I am setting my i value to the length of the Array and then thus starting at the end of the Array ("Item 4") and working towards the front ("Item 1").
Once I run through the removal process the Array will look like this:
itemsArray = ["Item 1", "Item 3", "Item 4"]
Removing items from an ArrayCollection is almost identical with the exception of the removal process:
for (var i:int = itemsAC.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
if (
itemsAC [i].items === "Item 2")
itemsAC .removeItemAt(i);
}
