Here is my code to generate random names:  
**[size=2][/size]**  
**[size=2] function GenerateName() {  
names = new Array(“Dean”,“Brian”,“Erik”,“John”);  
numberofnames = names.length;  
generator = random(numberofnames);  
equals = names[generator];  
trace(equals);  
trace(names);  
}  
GenerateName();  
[/size]**  
[size=2]How can i make it so that it deletes the random name that it choose from the arrays???[/size][size=2]
