RE: AS 2.0 optimising.. 2004-03-15 - By Ahmet Zorlu

in AS2, now that flash finally has a concept of type, do we finally
get "real" (i.e constant-time access) arrays?
</quote>
afaik, only the compiler (lexer, parser) has the concept of *Type*, all type
information are lost when AS 2 is compiled to swiff bytecodes. At runtime, the
good old type inference engine should be doing all the work.
So -correct me if I'm wrong-, we have no strongly typed arrays, yet. Array
lookup should take 0(n) time, not a constant time.
I am guessing that they are using a dictionary internally, a hashtable where
values are indexed as strings [String name, Object value].
