I am building a game and thought it would be cool to have an Array that holds different animated MC of short explosions as the player shoots down flyng objects.

The Array seems to work but I am getting error #1009 which is flooding my output window.

The game is made up of all external AS Classes. Each Explosion has it's own class with a simple:

public function enterNFrame(e:Event):void

                    {

                              if (this.currentFrame == totalFrames)

                              {

                                   if (this.parent.contains(this))

                                        {

                                                  SpaceGarbage.main.removeChild(this);

                                                  trace(this);

                                        }

                                          removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterNFrame);

                              }

                    }

          }

This works great with one explosion but using the Array has,I suspect, created a loop where the other explosions are generated with nowhere to go.

This is the current Array:

public function kill()

                    {

                              var e1:Explosion = new Explosion(x, y);

                              var e2:Explosion2 = new Explosion2(x, y);

                              var e3:Explosion3 = new Explosion3(x, y);

                              var exploArray:Array = new Array(e1, e2, e3);

                              for(var j:int = 0; j < 1; j++)

                              {

                                        exploArray.push(j);

                              }

                       var myArray:Array = new Array();

           while (exploArray.length > 0)

           {

                    var r:int = Math.floor(Math.random() * exploArray.length);

                    myArray.push(exploArray[r]);

                    exploArray.splice(r, 1);

                    trace(exploArray);

           }

                       SpaceGarbage.main.addChild(myArray[0]);

ths a parial snapshot of my output window:

I am new to Arrays so I'm sure that I am missing something imoprtant.

I just want to sort through the Array and select the first element and then use addChild();

Thanks for helping
