i haven’t dealt with complex data structures that much and have run across a problem i can’t figure out but that seems should be simple.

i have a loop that populates an array(selectedTeam) with an object(playerInfoHolder)

///this is all in a loop so selectedTeam is an array of playerInfoHolder objects  
playerInfoHolder = new Object();  
playerInfoHolder.name = player.@name;  
playerInfoHolder.number = player.@number;  
playerInfoHolder.position = player.@postion;  
selectedTeam.push(playerInfoHolder);

later i want to be able to remove one of the objects based on the player info(name or number). is there an easy way to do this? is there a way to find the index in the selectedTeam array of a playerInfo object based on it’s data so i can do a split from that index?
