Java Collections in ActionScript 3

July 14, 2008 – 2:40 pm

One framework that i started using more and more is the as3commons. This contains the most important collections from Java (ArrayList, HashMap, Set etc.) along with helper classes like Arrays and Collections to be used on ActionScript projects. Although it misses some functionalities for Sorted and Tree collections for example, it makes a very nice building block for data intensive applications.

Really nice to use it when you’re working on both client (ActionScript) and server (Java) side as you’re basically using the same classes. Credits goes out to Dr. Steffen Leistner and idmedia.

Download source code, api documentation and examples from here.

Is there anyone else using this framework in his projects ?

  3. Hello Mark,

    Just took a look at the vegas.data.* package. I must admit it’s far more complete than the as3commons lib.
    Nice work, will surely give it a try too and add it to my CoreLib project if better.

    Thanks for sharing.
