what should be prefferd Arrays or ArrayCollection in Flex ??and also please tell me when one should be used ??

Whichever suits your purpose. ArrayCollections can be bound, arrays cannot. They also implement interfaces arrays do not. If you read a sentence or so on in the help files from where you got that quote you'll see a link to Using Data Providers and Collections. Have a read of that and you should be able to make a choice.

Paul what you said is absolutely fine .

But my basic query or the question i wanted to ask is that

For example basically we will be going for a HashMap in case of Name Value pairs and HashSet in case of a single value , so are there any such data types related to Flex ??

[Paul Sturrock]

Nope.
