Funny. I didn't realize we were talking about iterating arrays with for..in until just now. I don't think we do that in Flex code. If the docs say arrays will iterate via for..in in index order then I'd probably trust that, especially if you stuff your arrays in index order

Does this non-guarantee apply to numerically indexed arrays and ArrayCollections too? Or just to associative arrays and object properties? The docs imply that the order is maintained by for...in with numerically indexed arrays. It would be a big change if that were not the case.
