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

Eric Feminella's HashMap is very nice.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Hi,

Have a look at AS3 Data Structures (AS3Ds) by polygonal

Answer 4

AS3Commons Collections (formerly Lite Collections) include (besides others):

• Set, LinkedSet, SortedSet
• Map, LinkedMap, SortedMap

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 which hardly can be beaten (since almost only bare algorithms are in use).
