Difference between Array and ArrayCollection(Flex)

actionscript, apache-flex

Solution

First, the ArrayCollection is designed for the Flex framework. It acts like a `Proxy` for a given `Array` instance. This means it can listen for modifications made to the source `Array` and update it self when this happens. It also contains a subset of additional methods required specifically by the framework (have a look at the IList implementation for instance).

Problem
