An "associative array" has nothing to do with Array. It was a bad choice of names, they should have just called it a "hash table".

It will help to catch the errors during compile time I think flex allows this because of associative arrays. var data:object = new Object(); new data.length means data['length'] Is there any way I can tell flex compiler that don't assume objects as associative array unless I specifically declare as Array.
