Array.pop()

SWiSH Player Support
SWF5 or later - Supported Internally

Syntax
arrayName .pop()

Arguments
None.

Returns
Nothing.

Description
Method; removes the last element of an array and returns its value.

Sample s
onLoad() {
pets = new Array ("fluffy","spot","Mr.Kitty");
trace(pets.pop());
}
// displays 'Mr.Kitty' in the debug window

Since this method actually removes the last element in the array , using it consecutively will produce different results:

onLoad() {
     zoners = new Array ();
     zoners[0] = "David M.";
     zoners[1] = "Hugh B.";
     zoners[2] = "Roger O.";
     zoners[3] = "David P.";
     trace("1st: " add zoners.pop());
     trace("2nd: " add zoners.pop());
     trace("3rd: " add zoners.pop());
}

// The script above will display the following in the debug window:
1st: David P.
2nd: Roger O.
3rd: Hugh B.
