Yeah, I get tired of doing this just to get code completion: var thisCustomObject:CustomObject = myObjects[i] as CustomObject; thisCustomObject.alpha = .5
Besides the obvious type checking benefits, with Vectors, I won't have to do it that way anymore to get good code completion from what I have read about them since the array knows the types it contains. From what I understand about them anyway, haven't had a chance to use them yet.

Also autocompletion and member verification and such for IDEs like FDT and FlashDevelop since it already knows the type of each list item. It's a god-given once you get used to it. I've been using Vectors like there's no tomorrow on a particular project of mine and it's really awesome. Going back to arrays is just weird, feels like I'm going back to AS2.
