Yeah! Only when ArrayUtil.getItemIndex() is able to find Objects inside nested arrays it will serve a purpose

I would assume the point of a util function would be to aggregate several common steps, but it seems to me like they just changed name? Array.indexOf() == ArrayUtil.getItemIndex() (functionality-wise) So, what's the deal? Troy.

I'm thinking native method should be faster public static function getItemIndex(item:Object, source:Array):int { var n:int = source.length ; for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++) { if (source[i] === item) return i; } return -1; } Is there a specific reason?
