Dictionary lets you index by object instead of string. We use one to keep track of loaded modules. We don't want to have worry about whether the modules have a unique string identification, so we can just use the module object instead.
Dictionary also supports weak references so you don't have to worry so much about cleaning up. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2007 1:44 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] to use object or array -- 'Adobe Flex 2 Training from the Source' book On Thursday 05 Apr 2007, Gordon Smith wrote: > Use a Array when you look up a value by a numeric index.
