Alex, you mentioned that you've already been in contact with Apache trademarks
about this issue, so if could please tell them that yes, I have read the

If it were me, I'd wait until Tuesday to contact trademarks@a.o. I've
already asked trademarks for their guidance on this matter and they
haven't responded yet. I did see trademarks answer another email, but
they may not be fully engaged and caught up on everything until Monday.

Hey Mike, good to see your name again ;) Interesting point, something I was
not thinking about to take into consideration indeed. I think we got it
convered for the purpose of this thread and each party / role expressed
their concern. I'm looking forward to reading the feedback from Apache
lawyers
Hi,
Perfect that fixes the issue and all the XMLListCollection tests pass.
Thanks for the contribution - perhaps we should make you a committer? :-)

Hi,
Thanks for that (slightly) slower and working is preferable to not working :-)
I'll apply the patch and run the tests and see if any other changes need to be
made.
Thanks,

With a getter no - I'll give it a go.

Here is my proposed fix in XMLListAdapter:: addItemAt() :

source[i] = source[ i - 1 ];

source[ index ] = item;

Did you actually try it? I seem to recall people complaining about
actually getting an uncaught error so maybe if you have a bug there it
will cause a problem much sooner.

Actually, It shows a worse problem... and infinite loop, cause length() keeps
growing so the loop will never terminate. If you save the invariant to a local
variable first, obviously it works better... but the XMLList still grows.

In XMLListAdapter, addItemAt() we see this after the first addItem()

this effectively sets source[0] to the unchanged item... and the parent do

See what you mean now. If you data field is set to a user defined setter and
that RTEs before the error would get silently eaten.
That seems like a bad idea to me but it is existing SDK behaviour. So
Again there is what the Apache lawyer wants and there is what we can do.
They defend Apache's interest, not ours. Amd there is what they want, and
what they can't do anything about. And then there is what they can do
something about with huge risk to hurt Apache's reputation more than
protecting it
Hi,
Actually it's even more broken that i thought.
trace("Length before adding: " + mainXML.item.length());
var some:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection();
var length:int = mainXML.item.length();
for (var i:int = 0; i < length; i++) {
trace("adding " + mainXML.item[i].@id);

Hi Tom,
Thanks for trying it. I think these scripts are expecting to be run

package from the out folder, expand that somewhere and then run the

I wish I'd thought of this last night, but the try/catch also absorbs
errors in getters, so these changes could break folks who've been relying

Lots of folks have getters that don't have null checks and other stuff
like that, although it may be that an exception will get thrown earli

It is. The issue exists with XMLList as well and also Dictionary (although less
reproducible with the latter)
In all cases using the in while modifying prop
So one of the goals of rewriting the installer is to get us out of the

further installs are done by having the Installer execute an ant script in

I'm not going to be reusing any code from flexexamples.com: the point of
apacheflexexamples.com is to revisit the micro-tutorial format, but with all new
content geared specifically for Apache Flex. The examples will be "one-pagers",
just like flexexamples.com, so there will be nothing to download,

And the same code is called when using an index loop (which works as expected)
