AS 3.0 Collections framework

[Alexander M Patrikalakis]

My PixelCheckerboard implementation used a Dictionary but I found the Dictionary class very limiting as a collection, especially when you compare it to the Map Collection in the Java.util collections framework.

Is there an AS 3.0 analogue to the Java Collections framework?

If you define your keys as what the toString method returns on the location, it makes keeping track of the images pretty straightforward.

If you do that, you don't even need to use a dictionary as there's a function called getChildByName(string)

I mapped checkers to images and got it to work. I was asking more in general terms. I think a map/dictionary could be more useful if you could iterate over the keys.
