String List in ActionScript-3?

How can I have a string list in ActionScript-3 ? I don't want to just use an array and always check for type or be type vulnerable. If I could make arrays type specific that would help me. In C# I can do:

List<string> list = new List<string>();
list.Add("hello world");
string str = list[0];

I wished I could do more or less the same in AS-3.

You can use the Vector type, like this:

var list:Vector.<String> = new <String>[];
//                      or new Vector.<String>();

list.push("hello world");
var str:String = list[0];

Note that AS3's Vector class lacks some functionality found in C#'s List<T> like Remove(), and includes some functionality you would find in other classes of C# such as pop(), typically found in Stack<T>.

In AS3 you can use Vector datatype.

See More info on Vector data type

Vector class works the same way as you need.
