Hi,

I have an ARRAY which contains single symbols and DICTIONARY in where every symbol in array is attached to unique string, what I want to do - is to merge ARRAY and DICTIONARY together, and as a result receive RESULT\_ARRAY where order of elements is equal to ARRAY but elements are replaced according to a DICTIONARY.

```auto
//for example
//this is what we have -
var originalA:Array = new Array ();
originalA[0]="y";
originalA[1]="t";
originalA[2]="r";
originalA[3]="e";
originalA[4]="w";
originalA[5]="q";
var dict:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
dict["q"]="text fragment q";
dict["w"]="text fragment w";
dict["e"]="text fragment e";
dict["r"]="text fragment r";
dict["t"]="text fragment t";
dict["y"]="text fragment y";

//and this is what we want to receive -
var originalA:Array = new Array ();
originalA[0]="text fragment y";
originalA[1]="text fragment t";
originalA[2]="text fragment r";
originalA[3]="text fragment e";
originalA[4]="text fragment w";
originalA[5]="text fragment q";

```
