ListCollectionVIew has a disableAutoUpdate() method. You can probably also trap and block CollectionChangeEvents.

ArrayList is the underlying IList implementation that wraps Arrays and is used internally by ArrayCollection. There are relatively few advantages to going straight to an ArrayList. If you pass one into a list class it will just wrap it in an ArrayCollection anyway. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of DannyT Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 4:08 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [flexcoders] ArrayList Vs ArrayCollection var myList:ArrayList = new ArrayList(); // doesn't throw any error var myList:ArrayList = new ArrayCollection(); gives the following error: Implicit coercion of a value of type mx.collections:ArrayCollection to an unrelated type mx.collections:ArrayList.

ArrayList seems to be in the mx.collections package but I can't find any documentation on it. Dan -- http://danny-t.co.uk -- http://danny-t.co.uk -- j:pn \\no comment -- j:pn \\no comment
