I'm wondering, when I remove the movie clips should I also be popping them from the array?
I have an onEnterFrame function that attaches the movie clips and pushes them into the array, so I'm worried that if I don't pop them the array will continue to increase in size and slow down the movie. Is this the case, or will they be automatically removed from the array by the removeMovieClip() method above?

I have two arrays of objects. Each object has a unique name property besides few others. One of the array is a local copy and the other one is sent from server after regular intervals. The local copy of arrays is then used to add a movieclips into a container.Now, I want that when I receive an array from the server, I compare it with the one which is already with me locally such that the items which were not in the received array but were there in the local array, get removed from the container and the newly added ones only get added. The items which were present in both local and remote array remain as it is.

How can I make an array that accepts only a single kind of element?For example, this:var arr:Array of MovieClip = [ mc1 , mc2 ];Basically, I want to do something like this:for ( var i:Number = 0; i<arr.lenght; i++ ) arr[i].alpha = 0.5;Of course, I could to it manually, but that's ugly, and I'll have to add a bunch of "if"s if I want to access the next element (as "if ( element == mc1 ) mc2.alpha = 0.5;")

I have a script that creates arrays based on certain events. These are all stored in one main array like so: mainArray = [[3,6,5,1],[4,5,6],[5,3,5],[4,5,6]]; As you can see, sometimes I end up with duplicate arrays within the mainArray. How can I check if any duplicate arrays exist and remove them from mainArray?

Can I use Flash builder to create flash game? Or I have to buy Flash professional? Or are there other good softwares? I hope I could create flash games with Flash builder, because Flash pro is much more expensive than Flash builder. If I have to buy Flash pro, I'll buy it. But is it normal to pay more than 600 dollars for developing a free game? There are a lot of free flash games on the Internet. Did their developers pay 600 dollars to create their free games?

how do I completely remove a movieclip that is created as a new class.I have an event listener that does a removeChild like this
e.target.parent.removeChild(e.target);
is this enough or do I have to 'null' the object? I can't just do 'e.target = null' because the property is read only. Will the internal garbage collection do the rest for me if I have no references somewhere else?
