In the absence of a formal Map I am using an object as a key/value
pair map as follows:

var map:Object = new Object();
map["A"] = some_object_A;
map["B"] = some_object_B;
map["C"] = some_object_C;

and then looking up by the key

var object_A:Object = map["A"];

etc.

This works really well for random lookup by the key, but what I also
need is a way to iterate through the objects I have put on the map
object.  

Is there a for each(* in map) construct I can use?  

Does anyone know if there are any plans to support HashMaps in AS3 or
flash?  Is there anything synonymous to a HashMap already that I am
clearly not aware of?

Thanks
Simon
