var vegetables:Array = new Array("spinach",
             "green pepper",
             "cilantro",
             "onion",
             "avocado");

var spliced:Array = vegetables.splice(2, 2);
trace(vegetables); // spinach,green pepper,avocado
trace(spliced);    // cilantro,onion

vegetables.splice(1, 0, spliced);
trace(vegetables); // spinach,cilantro,onion,green pepper,avocado
