Synopsis
array.pop( )

The value of the last element of array,
which is also deleted.
Description
The pop( ) method deletes the
last element of an array, reduces the
array’s length by 1, and returns the value
of the deleted element. Compare with the shift(
) method, which deletes the first
element of an array.

myList = new Array("one", "two", "three");
trace ("Now deleting " + myList.pop( )); // myList is now: ["one", "two"]See Also
