i need that to have an array with 166 numbers. ("\_parent.\_parent.totalFrames = 167" and “q != \_parent.\_parent.currentframe” ) is the following code correct?

myArray = [];  
for (var q = 1; q != \_parent.\_parent.\_currentframe && q\<168; q++) {  
myArray.push(q);

maybe  
myArray = ;  
for (var q = 1; q\<168; q++) {  
myArray.push(q);  
}  
myvar = this.\_parent.\_parent.\_currentframe;  
myArray.splice(myvar, 1);

not sure how functional this is

i figured it out, and it works 🙂

```
var my = [];
var i = 1;
while (i&lt;168) {
	my.push(i++);
}
var current = _root._currentframe
my.splice(current-1,1)
trace(my.join());
trace(_root._currentframe);

```

thnx to stringy!

now… this wery confusing problem has come while expanding that script…  
while the first part works (when \_root.\_currentframe\<168, it removes \_root.\_currentframe from the array), but the second part does not work (when \_root.\_currentframe\>167, it does not remove \_roor.\_currentframe)  
whats wrong with it???

this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
var current = \_root.\_currentframe-1;  
if (\_root.\_currentframe\<168) {  
var my = [];  
var i = 1;  
while (i\<168) {  
my.push(i++);  
}  
my.splice(current, 1);  
trace(my.join());  
trace(\_root.\_currentframe);  
} [COLOR=DarkRed]else if (\_root.\_currentframe\>167) {  
var my = [];  
var i = 168;  
while (i\<248) {  
my.push(i++);  
}  
my.splice(current, 1);  
trace(my.join());  
trace(\_root.\_currentframe);  
}[/COLOR]  
};

you need to use my.splice(current-167, 1);  
took me a while to work out, deleting variables etc to start with

oh, right… doh  
because the array has only 80 numbers in it ( in the second case )

THNX 😃
