It looks like the second ArrayList was introduced by Justin Mclean in
this commit:
https://github.com/apache/flex-sdk/commit/621e4debe8cd46e9ec5a197256dc2b6e32fc47c3
I can't figure out why it was included though. Justin?
Thanks

Hi,
I am putting together a patch for ArrayList to support square-bracket
indexing and for-each loops, see:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-15159
I am confused by the existence of not one, but two ArrayList classes:
the "original" one at mx.collections.ArrayList and another one at
org.apache.flex.collections.ArrayList.
Why are there two classes? Looking at their diff, I would guess that
mx.collections.ArrayList is newer: it has some additional
optimisations, and an additional toJSON() method.
I could patch both classes, but I would rather not introduce more
duplication that might become a maintenance burden along the line.
Thanks
Gareth
