Odd numbers of object extraction from an array - actionscript-3

Question

I'm trying to get 2 objects at a time form the array for now. but soon I will be using odd number of length and splicing items.
This works out perfectly so far with Even numbers in the Array, but I am not sure how to make it work with odd numbers. The way I think it may work is ask it to check the objects coming up next and if it is less than 2 than change the counters to 1. but I am not even sure how to put that in code specifically. I posted my code so far be
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.Socket;
var socket_Array_current_position = 0;
var socket_counter = 2;
var socket_Array: Array = new Array ();
socket_Array.push(socket_one, socket_two,socket_three, socket_four, socket_five, socket_six);
go_next_left.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go_left);
go_next_right.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go_right);
function go_left(going_left:MouseEvent)
{
if (socket_Array_current_position > 0)
{
socket_remove();
socket_Array_current_position -= socket_counter;
socket_x_position = 125;
socket_display();
}
}
function go_right(going_right:MouseEvent)
{
if (socket_Array_current_position < socket_Array.length-socket_counter)
{
socket_remove();
socket_Array_current_position += socket_counter;
socket_x_position = 125;
socket_display();
}
}
socket_display();
function socket_display()
{
var s = 0;
for (s; s < socket_counter; s++)
{
addChild(socket_Array[socket_Array_current_position + s]);
socket_Array[socket_Array_current_position + s].x = socket_x_position;
socket_Array[socket_Array_current_position + s].y = socket_y_position;
//socket_Array[s].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, picked);
socket_x_position = socket_x_position + 275;
}
}
function socket_remove()
{
var s = 0;
for (s; s < socket_counter; s++)
{
removeChild(socket_Array[socket_Array_current_position+s]);
}
}

I suppose that you want display X objects (in this case two) at a time from an array. Whatever length. I'm using Math lib. Consider that I didn't try the code below with sdk or Flash.
const X_START_POS:int = 125;
const COLUMN_WIDTH:int = 275;
const QTY_SCREEN:int = 2;
var socket_Array:Array = new Array();
var socket_Array_pos:int = 0;
var socket_Array_target:int = 0; // target is always right
var socket_Array_on_screen:Array = new Array();
// socket_Array.length must be >= QTY_SCREEN, always.
socket_Array.push(socket_one, socket_two, socket_three, socket_four, socket_five, socket_six);
go_next_left.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go_left);
go_next_right.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go_right);
socket_display();
function go_left(going_left:MouseEvent) {
socket_Array_target = Math.max(socket_Array_pos - QTY_SCREEN, 0);
socket_display();
}
function go_right(going_right:MouseEvent) {
socket_Array_target = Math.min(socket_Array_pos + QTY_SCREEN, socket_Array.length - QTY_SCREEN);
socket_display();
}
function socket_display() {
socket_remove();
socket_x_position = X_START_POS;
var limit:int = socket_Array_target + QTY_SCREEN;
for (var i = socket_Array_target; i < limit; i++) {
show_socket(socket_Array[i]);
socket_x_position += COLUMN_WIDTH;
}
socket_Array_pos = socket_Array_target;
}
function show_socket(asocket:DisplayObject) {
addChild(asocket);
asocket.x = socket_x_position;
asocket.y = socket_y_position;
socket_Array_on_screen.push(asocket); // remember me
}
function socket_remove() {
var qty:int = socket_Array_on_screen.length;
for (var s = 0; s < qty; s++) {
removeChild(socket_Array_on_screen.pop());
}
}
