Josh Tynjala commented on FLEX-36:
----------------------------------
I guess using the top-level Array function to do the conversion to simply use
an ArrayList or ArrayCollection is the obvious easy thing to do:
var myArray:Array = Array(myVector);
But it always feels weird not to have dedicated collections for Vectors. I
realize that we can't type custom classes like collections, so we lose the
advantage of vectors, but I always twitch a little when I need to first convert
to an Array and then wrap in the collection. I'd be happy to do a code review.

> In case anyone is unaware, you can cast Vector.<WhateverTypeYouWant> as
> Vector.<*>. Works with the "as" and "is" keywords, as you can see below:
> var strings:Vector.<String> = new <String>["One", "Two", "Three"];
> trace(strings is Vector.<*>); //true
> var generic:Vector.<*> = strings as Vector.<*>;
> trace(strings) //One, Two, Three
