I’m a big fan of AS3, waiting for your Part 3 This is very interesting.

Seems you made a good progress for FB4, so get() will be available in the auto-complete dropdown?

A similar issue comes up when you try to name any part of your packages with reserved words… like those poor folks at Icelandic Air:
import is.icelandic.myClass

that will fail because “is” is a keyword. It’d be nice if, by context, AS would know when is is a keyword or not–insert reference to Bill Clinton

Same problem: it’s an operator

How about this as an alternative:

var myVector:Vector.^String^ = new Vector.^String^;
var anotherVector:Vector.^Vector.^Boolean^^ = new Vector.^Vector.^Boolean^^();
