It’s some sort of crazy nerdtastic Data Structure Deathmatch!
The Adobe Actionscript 3 Dictionary Class Vs Object Vs Array! Man it’s awesome to have a language to work in, just like a great RPG where everyone’s got their strengths and weaknesses and it all works together to make awesome flashlove all over the web.
“What is a Dictionary Class and Why Should I read this post?”
Here’s the results from my testing right up front and I feel like it’s a good rough estimate of where each excells.

So I’ve been working pretty hard on what started as a TowerDefense game for a tutorial here. It has since become more complex, less tutorialtastic, and awesome. … sort of. I’m happy with where it’s going. Now that I’ve stroked my ego, let me stroke a few more.
First off I have to say one of the single-most priceless pieces of code ever is TweenMax. I know I seem to mention them in every blogpost these days. When I buy programming books, or browse thru Adobe AS3 Live-Docs , I’m reading to solve a problem. My brains don’t encyclopedia-ize all of the things I come across. I don’t need to keep them in my memory, that’s why they’re written elsewhere… in APIs and documentation and stuff that I don’t care about. …Until I need something.
