  4. // PUSH
  5. // Adds one or more elements to the end of an array and returns the new length of the array.
  6. myArray = ["a","b","c","d"];
  7. trace(myArray);
  8. myArray.push("e");
  9. trace(myArray);
  10. // OUTPUT
  11. // a,b,c,d
  12. // a,b,c,d,e
  13.  
  14.  
  15. // POP
  16. // Removes the last element from an array and returns the value of that element.
  17. myArray = ["a","b","c","d"];
  18. trace(myArray);
  19. myArray.pop();
  20. trace(myArray);
