Hi,
Thanks for your reply. When I simplify the code it works perfectly.
var showArray:Array = new Array("1", "2", "3", "4");
add_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addToArray)
delete_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, delFromArray)
function addToArray(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("prior to add and the showArray = " + showArray);
showArray.unshift("x");
trace("after add and the showArray = " + showArray);
}
function delFromArray(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("prior to delete and the showArray = " + showArray);
showArray.splice(0, 1);
trace("after del and the showArray = " + showArray);
}
So that led me to thinking.
When problems like these arise the culprit is usually that the trace is occurring before all the scripts that could affect it have run their course. That one never fails to bite me on the buttocks.
So I looked above and sure enough I saw that there was a script in which I was removing an index showArray.splice(dragIndex, 1) that was executing both when an index was added and when an index was moved as opposed to just when an index was moved. Yikes.
Thanks for helping me think.
