VectorCollection Class to allow binding to an AS3 Vector
I have added a Flex lib to RIAForge to allow one to use a Vector based collection of objects with Flex binding.
VectorCollection works in the same was as ArrayCollection, allowing one use it as the source for a dataProvider.

Interesting and it begs the question “once you add the bindings, is the performance advantage of vectors nullified?”. Just curious.
Thanks

@John,
I have not done any performance testing, but my expectation is there is still a performance gain over using an ArrayCollection, particularly for sorting and filtering operations.

Good work but please can you make also a benchmark to compare the performance vs ArrayCollection.

This library is completely awesome! Thanks for creating it. I have one request: could you add the license information to the header of each file for the “official” download?

@Tim
Thanks, I’ll make sure I do that.

I found binding to the length property didn’t work for me :
Where *items* is the VectorCollection. However, switching it over to an ArrayCollection worked fine.

Apologies, the code was filtered out.
s:Label text=”items count : {timelinePM.timelineVO.items.length}”

@Matthew,
Hi, I’ve just tried a simple label bound to .length and calling .addItem() works fine.
Can you give steps to recreate the issue?
thanks, David
