You can also supply sorting and filtering
criteria to an array collection. This would be like a chest of drawers that
folds your socks and tosses the ones that have holes in them. From: To add to Jester's imaginative response,
ArrayCollection actually wraps an Array. So inside, there is an Array,
which can be accessed through the source property. But if you directly
access the array, you don't get the cool events the make data binding work. On 7/25/06, JesterXL

goes, "Dude, you just put something in me!". It does this by emitting an event, collectionChanged, when
this happens. Controls can listen for this event and know when the
array is updated in order to redraw themselves, like the DataGrid,
List, etc. An Array is like a drawer in the real world. You can
put something in it, but it doesn't talk to you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Brown

is the difference between an Array and an ArrayCollection? This is a pretty newbie programming question, but
coming from an AS1/AS2 background I'm not familiar with the difference between
an Array and an ArrayCollection.
