RE: [flexcoders] Dictionary class?
I've used it in the past to get all the unique values from an array or array collection. See http://kennethsutherland.com/2009/04/02/find-all-unique-values-from-arra y-or-collection/ Kenneth.

One case is if you don¹t want to use loops. On 5/11/09 12:11 PM, luvfotography ygro...@all-digital-links.com wrote: What are some good uses for the dictionary class? I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure if I knew more, I might. . . .
RE: [flexcoders] Dictionary class?
Dictionary is similar to Associative Aarray (Object, hashtable) except that it can use an object reference as a key. You might use to associate some data, perhaps an isModified flag with some instance of a class, perhaps an item in a dataProvider.

One of the things I use Dictionary for is for storing weak references to objects. http://manishjethani.com/blog/2008/07/31/using-weak-references-in-actionscript-3/ You can see for instance the EffectManager class in the Flex 3 framework uses a Dictionary object to store references to effects.
