And furthermore, what's the point of having that method? I would assume the
point of a util function would be to aggregate several common steps, but it
seems to me like they just changed name?

Array.indexOf() == ArrayUtil.getItemIndex() (functionality-wise)

So, what's the deal?

Looking at mx.utils.ArrayUtil class I'm wondering why it does not make use
of native method Array.indexOf for getItemIndex() method. I'm thinking
native method should be faster

public static function getItemIndex(item:Object, source:Array):int
    {
        var n:int = source.length;
        for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
        {
            if (source[i] === item)
                return i;
        }

        return -1;
    }



Is there a specific reason? If so, I would like to know

Thanks & Regards,
