Figure 5-8. Shots exploding into Flak

Now, we need to iterate through our Flak explosions. Unlike Shot 's, when Flak 's explosions are
set to finished , we simply remove them from the screen. We don't create anything else or play
any sounds. You will notice that the rest of the objects we iterate through operate in a nearly
identical manner.
for each (tempFlak in flakArray){
if (tempFlak.finished) {
removeItemFromArray(tempFlak,flakArray);
} else {
tempFlak.update();

}
}
Updating Enemy , Explosion , and BonusPlane objects works just like updating Flack explosions.
for each (tempEnemy in enemyArray){
if (tempEnemy.finished) {
removeItemFromArray(tempEnemy,enemyArray);
} else {
tempEnemy.update();
}
}

for each (tempExplode in explodeArray){

if (tempExplode.finished) {
removeItemFromArray(tempExplode,explodeArray);
} else {
tempExplode.update();
