Dictionary class use cases

Hi! I sometimes use the Dictionary class. But frankly, not so often. Still I think that it’s probably a powerful class, so I’d like to ask you all how you usually use it.

For example, I recently used it to assign a value (that I don’t want to be the same as label) to some checkBox:


checksDict = new Dictionary()

//checks is an array of checkboxes
checks.forEach(function(check,index){
   check.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,click);
   checksDict[check] = index + 1;
});

I can then access the value of each check like this:

trace(checksDict[the-checkbox])

( note: maybe is this a poll? I never used the poll option, I don’t know)

So, I’d really like to have a lot of answers here, just to share ideas! :slight_smile: Come on!
