Yea I feel the same, the implementation around the Vector typing has some... issues. So I felt like I was hacking it together the whole way through because of the typing doesn't behave as expected.

> VectorList and VectorCollection, similar to ArrayList and ArrayCollection. Feels weird that I need to convert Vectors to Arrays to use in Flex collections.
> In case anyone is unaware, you can cast Vector.<WhateverTypeYouWant> as Vector.<*>. Works with the "as" and "is" keywords, as you can see below:
> var strings:Vector.<String> = new <String>["One", "Two", "Three"];
> trace(strings is Vector.<*>); //true
> var generic:Vector.<*> = strings as Vector.<*>;
> trace(strings) //One, Two, Three
