Michael Labriola commented on FLEX-36:
--------------------------------------
yep, agree completely. I wrote it so that I could keep vectors the original
vectors typed even if the interface demands that we abstract it for use in
controls.

> Key: FLEX-36
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-36
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Josh Tynjala
> Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: List, collections
>
> VectorList and VectorCollection, similar to ArrayList and ArrayCollection.
> Feels weird that I need to convert Vectors to Arrays to use in Flex
> collections.
> 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
