You can also try this:
var myArray:Array = ["one","two","three"];
//order myArray in reverse
myArray = myArray.reverse();
for(var i in myArray){
trace(myArray[i]);
}
//order myArray as it originally was
myArray = myArray.reverse();
But as was already brought out for...in can be unpredictable

Why is any order better than another. one,two,three is not the correct
alphabetic sort order.
How would you order
var myArray:Array = ["cat", "pig", "dog"];
Alphabetic, by average weight, by popularity???
If you want an associative array to have some sort of order that depends
on some interpretation of meaning, you will have to do that yourself.
What are you really trying to do? There is probably a simple solution.
Perhaps you do not really want and associative array at all?
