Remove item from Array: Array.splice [AS3] vs List.Remove [C#]

In AS3, you can’t remove an item directly from an Array. You have to find out the index of the item first, before you can take the remove action.

// AS3
var array:Array = new Array();
var item:Object;

array.push(item);

var index:int = array.indexOf(item);
// remove 1 element starting from index
array.splice(index, 1);

While in C#, by using the List Class, manipulation of item is very simple.

// C#
Listarray = new List();
Object obj = new Object();
array.Add(obj);
array.Remove(obj);
