Array 253

Example

The following code creates the array

myPets_array array containing four elements, and then

removes its last element:

var myPets_array:Array = new Array("cat", "dog", "bird", "fish");

var popped:Object = myPets_array.pop();

trace(popped); // Displays fish.

trace(myPets_array); // Displays cat,dog,bird.

push (Array.push method), shift (Array.shift method), unshift (Array.unshift

method)

push (Array.push method)

public push(value:Object) : Number

Adds one or more elements to the end of an array and returns the new length of the array.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5

Parameters

value:Object - One or more values to append to the array.

Returns

Number - An integer representing the length of the new array.

Example

The following example creates the array

myPets_array with two elements, cat and dog. The

second line adds two elements to the array.

Because the

push() method returns the new length of the array, the trace() statement in the

last line sends the new length of

myPets_array (4) to the Output panel.

var myPets_array:Array = new Array("cat", "dog");

var pushed:Number = myPets_array.push("bird", "fish");

trace(pushed); // Displays 4.
