Removing Elements with the length Variable

 

To delete elements from the end of the array: set the array's length variable to a number smaller than the current length:


package{
  import flash.display.Sprite;
  
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){


        var toppings:Array = ["p", "t", "c", "g", "b"];
        toppings.length = 3;
        trace(toppings);  //p,t,c
    }
  }
}
