Since javascript arrays are indexed from 0 upwards, your code:

my_array.move(my_array_length,0);

will need to change to :

my_array.move(my_array_length-1,0);

The length of your array has 5 elements, but the last element has an index of 4.

You might also consider changing the function to either pferform a no-op or throw an error if the old index is outside the bounds of the array – roryf Dec 06 '12 at 13:28

The method "move" from the reference page gets old_index, new_index parameters. You supply the array's length as the first parameter, but your array has no element at this position.

If you call "move" with these parameters:

my_array.move(my_array_length - 1,0)

it will work as expected
