Returns
An integer representing the length of the new array.
Description
Method; adds one or more elements to the end of an array and returns the array’s new length.
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
log file.
var myPets_array:Array = new Array("cat", "dog");
var pushed:Number = myPets_array.push("bird", "fish");
trace(pushed); // displays 4

Description

var numbers_array:Array = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);
trace(numbers_array); // displays 1,2,3,4,5,6
numbers_array.reverse();
trace(numbers_array); // displays 6,5,4,3,2,1
