Casting between a Dictionary and HashMap doesn’t seem to work . Any solutions?

First, I want to thank you for such a good HashMap class. Even though we have such a nice HashMap class, we cannot bind it to the Java HashMap. is there a tutorial/link to an article where I can learn about the assemblers to convert the Java HashMap to your Actionscript HashMap.

The HashMap class has a direct dependency on the IHashMapEntry interface, therefore when using the Hashmap API you will need the dependencies as well, all of which can be found at:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: IHashMapEntry.

Can anybody help me with as I’m a newbie to flex

Thanks
Prakash

One comment – I would change implementation of the HashMap.isEmpty() so it does not call size() method – after all there is no need to iterate over each element to identify that it is empty. I would Implement it like this:

public function isEmpty() : Boolean
{

for (var key:* in map)
{
return false;
}
return true;

}

Let me know as I’d love to be using your work… keep it up!
Nick.
