Collections in Adobe Flex

Question

Is there any open source collection framework, written in ActionScript that would emulate HashMap, HashSet, LinkedHashMap and LinkedHashSet Java class implementations.

Answer 1

Check the Lite Collections for ActionScript 3. We are currently talking with the author about making this an AS3Commons project.

Answer 2

Eric Feminella's HashMap is very nice.

Answer 3

AS3Commons Collections include (besides others):

• ArrayList, SortedList
• Set, LinkedSet, SortedSet
• Map, LinkedMap, SortedMap
• LinkedList, Treap

The project is currently the first address for a serious AS collections framework: It consists of a high level framework architecture, the most comprehensive set of different collections and the fastest collection implementations. Additionally, most of the collections come in a bindable version to be connected to user interfaces.
