Custom Object Collection as3

Question

In c# I can do this:

   public class Widget{
      public int value1;
      public int value2;
   }

and elsewhere define a list of Widgets:

   pulbic List<Widget> widgets = new List<Widget>();

Is it possible to make a list of Widgets in actionscript or am I stuck with jamming all the widgets into an array collection and casting each item when I use it?

Answer 1

You are looking for the Vector class:

public var widgets:Vector.<Widget> = new Vector.<Widget>();

update In case you need a ListCollectionView, respectively an ICollectionView and/or IList, check out David Beale's VectorCollection.
