I was wondering… i thought this might be a dumb question to ask but ive been wondering if it is possible to remove all the data that was inserted into an array?

i.e.

```
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] loadAllThumbnails:[COLOR=#0000FF]Array[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **new** [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]Array[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#FF0000]"poop1"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#FF0000]"poop2"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#FF0000]"poop3"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#FF0000]"poop4"[/COLOR], [COLOR=#FF0000]"poop5"[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

```

someBtn.[COLOR=#0000FF]onRelease[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080]_//clears/emptys the array when released_[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]  
[/LEFT]  
[/FONT]
