my_array[3].age = 35
Performing a descending numeric sort on the age field produces the following results:
my_array.sortOn("age", Array.DESCENDING | Array.NUMERIC);
// my_array[0].age = 35
// my_array[1].age = 29
// my_array[2].age = 4
// my_array[3].age = 3
When using the Array.RETURNEDINDEXARRAY sorting option, you must assign the return
value to a different array. The original array is not modified.
var indexArray:Array = my_array.sortOn("age", Array.RETURNINDEXEDARRAY);

Array
Adds elements to and removes elements from an array. This method modifies the array
without making a copy.
Parameters
startIndex:Number - An integer that specifies the index of the element in the array where
the insertion or deletion begins. You can specify a negative integer to specify a position relative
to the end of the array (for example, -1 is the last element of the array).
deleteCount:Number [optional] - An integer that specifies the number of elements to be
deleted. This number includes the element specified in the startIndex parameter. If no value
is specified for the deleteCount parameter, the method deletes all of the values from the
startIndex element to the last element in the array. If the value is 0, no elements are deleted.
value:Object [optional] - Specifies the values to insert into the array at the insertion point
specified in the startIndex parameter.
Returns
Array - An array containing the elements that were removed from the original array.
Example
The following example creates an array and splices it by using element index 1 for the
startIndex parameter. This removes all elements from the array starting with the second
element, leaving only the element at index 0 in the original array:
