Agreed, and I really would love to create an osflash pattern study group that specifically takes that book and implements the examples in various languages. Given they are not realworld examples, but the easiest way to really compare, contrast and learn about languages and best practices is with implemented examples compared side to side and I sense that as the flash player really makes good it's claim as a platform in the coming years, there will be a lot of folk that would appreciate ways to compare the various language options that are developing and since as2 is the common language of flash and since it is so close to java I think that books a good starting point. It's pretty much all relevant, irrelevant! :D
I hope nothing I said came across too aggressive - I'm a pacifist,
honest :-)

At the same time, consider that the book is presenting an example
implementation of the pattern - and not suggesting that every menu you
ever build should use the Iterator pattern. I don't believe for a
second that you aren't aware that there are other ways to build a menu
in an OOP language :)
