Hit object then remove from array

programming flash
1

Hello,

Having a problem with my game. I am running a hittest to see if my avatar hits a food movie clip. When it does I want to remove the child that has been hit. I have put all the food movieclips into an array called prey.

Currently what I have when my avatar hits a food it removes the whole array but I only want the food movie clip which has been hit to be removed.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Thanks in advance



var newFood:Food=new Food(650,randomyFood);
prey.push(newFood);
addChild(newFood);




var foodHasBeenHit:Boolean=false;
			for each (var food:Food in prey) {
				food.moveABit();
				if        (PixelPerfectCollisionDetection.isColliding(avatar,food,this,true)) {
					foodHasBeenHit=true;
				}
			}
			
			for(var i:int = 0; i<prey.length; i++)
			if (foodHasBeenHit){
			
				gameScore.addToValue(20);
				
				prey*.parent.removeChild(prey*);
				prey.splice(i, 1);
			}
