Array 257
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 Lite 2.0
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.

RETURNINDEXEDARRAY
(Array.RETURNINDEXEDARRAY property)
public static RETURNINDEXEDARRAY : Number
Represents the option to return an indexed array as a result of calling the sort() or sortOn()
method. You can use this constant for the
options parameter in the sort() or sortOn()
method. This provides preview or copy functionality by returning an array that represents the
results of the sort and leaves the original array unmodified. The value of this constant is 8.
