I am curious. Why does the Adobe suite not come with Flex. It seems a bit pointless to me. I use the whole of the master suite and flex. It seems to be the only major product Adobe do that is not in the suite.

Anyone know why???

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.

Not sure what strongly typed arrays are.  What are the advantages?


Being able to type the array means not having to cast array members and
detecting problems at compile time rather run time.



OOooh - strongly typed arrays!  Awesome!  I've been waiting for that

for a long time!  Sweet.
