Hello, I am fairly new to actionscript, and I’m trying to learn more under the heat of a deadline. I am working on a project for a client where they want the user to be able to build a package of 10 items from the available 41 items.

These are the restraints I am looking to place on my array:  
[LIST]  
[_]Each time an item is clicked, it’s description is added to the array.  
[_]There can only be a maximum of ten items in the array.  
[_]The array cannot have the same item more than once.  
[_]The current items in the array will be listed in ten dynamic textboxes (game1Target.gameInfo\_txt, game2Target.gameInfo\_txt, etc).  
[\*]The user needs to have the ability to remove a specific item from the array if desired, and the other descriptions in the textboxes will shift to fill in the gap (I plan on adding a remove button next to each textbox).  
[/LIST]

I’d greatly appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.

```php
selectedGames = new Array();

var obj = {
	IP:"Game1", 
	WW:"Game2", 
	BC:"Game3", 
	CC:"Game4", 
	MT:"Game5", 
	NK:"Game6", 
	MB:"Game7",

var pickGame = function (text, frame) {
return function () {
s = selectedGames.length;
// This is where I try to add each new description to the array
selectedGames[s] = text;
trace(selectedGames);
_root.gotoAndStop(frame+1);
// This is my way of saying if there is one or more items in the array, show each description in a textbox
if (s>=0) {
	_root["game"+(s+1)+"Target"].gameInfo_txt.text = selectedGames[s];
	}
};
};

chooseTeams.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (_root._currentFrame<11) {
		for (var prop in obj) {
			chooseTeams.playerLineup[prop+"_btn"].onRelease = pickGame(obj[prop], _root._currentFrame);
		}
	}
};
