Flash / Flex / ActionScript/Array/slice

slice() accepts negative numbers, which count from the end of the array rather than the beginning.

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var metals:Array = ["iron", "copper", "gold", "silver", "platinum", "tin","chrome"];
       var canMakingMetal:Array = metals.slice(-2,-1);
       trace(canMakingMetal); // Displays: tin
   }
 }

}
