**Hi. So there is a problem now. Lets show some code:**

_x = new Array();_  
_x[‘kamil’] = new Object();_  
_x[‘kamil’].name = “kamil”;_  
_x[‘madzia’] = new Object();_  
_x[‘madzia’].name = “madzia”;_

**then, an output:**

_Variable \_level0.x = [object #1, class ‘Array’] [_  
_kamil:[object #2, class ‘Object’] {_  
_name:“kamil”_  
_},_  
_madzia:[object #3, class ‘Object’] {_  
_name:“madzia”_  
_}_  
_]_

**And now - QUESTION:**  
**How to remove any element from that array when instead of indexes we have names; such as kamil or madzia.**  
**pop, shift, slice, splice and so on… dont work at all.**

**Regards,**  
**Kamil**
