Theory
Array vs. ArrayCollection in Flex 2
So what's the difference? Well, the LiveDocs entry for the ArrayCollection class sums it up pretty well, so here it is:
"The ArrayCollection class is a wrapper class that exposes an Array as a collection that can be accessed and manipulated using the methods and properties of the ICollectionView or IList interfaces. Operations on a ArrayCollection instance modify the data source; for example, if you use the removeItemAt() method on an ArrayCollection, you remove the item from the underlying Array. "
The first sentence in that explanation is the key: The ArrayCollection class is simply a wrapper around the Array class. So if they're both Arrays at some level, why is this important? Well, with a standard Array, what you have available to you are the basic methods and properties that you'd expect in any language: push() (for adding an element to the end), pop() (for removing the last element), length (the number of indices), etc. However, the ArrayCollection class provides a suite of immensely convenient "extra" methods that can act on the Array.
For example, say I have an array with the values in the color spectrum:
var spectrumColors:Array = ["red","orange","yellow","green","blue","indigo","violet"];
However, a new theory releases that there's no such thing as "green," and mandates that it should be removed from the color spectrum. How would you do it using the Array class? Honestly, it's not worth getting into the code because it's a waste of keystrokes. However, there's a really easy way to do this: Use the ArrayCollection class. The ArrayCollection class extends the ListCollectionView class. Without getting into the boring details, the ListCollectionView class has a bunch of extremely handy methods for manipulating its elements, namely the addItemAt(), removeItemAt(), and getItemAt() methods. Going back to the example, if the spectrumColors variable is datatyped as being an ArrayCollection, accomodating new theory becomes immensely easier:
var spectrumColors:ArrayCollection = ["red","orange","yellow","green","blue","indigo","violet"];spectrumColors.removeItemAt(spectrumColors.getItemIndex("green"));
All the code above does is create the spectrumColors variable of type ArrayCollection, and then removes the item from the array based on the returned index value that matches the value "green." See? Easy. No need to manually loop over the array to find an index or verbose constructs like that.
So what's the difference? Well, the LiveDocs entry for the ArrayCollection class sums it up pretty well, so here it is:

Flex 3 Beta 3 Documentation
Flex 3 Beta 3 on Adobe Labs. Here is a summary of doc changes between Beta 2 and Beta 3:
Advanced DataGrid, OLAP DataGrid, advanced charting, and automation agents are now part of the Advanced Data Visualization Developer Guide. Advanced Data Visualization is available when you purchase Flex Builder 3 Professional, although a watermarked version is available in Flex Builder 3 Standard.
For the core Flex documentation, we reorganized the online table of contents to display information in a topic-oriented (as opposed to book-oriented) manner. Go to http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex3/html/index.html to see what I mean.
Of course, the big news is the release of BlazeDS. You can get more information at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/blazeds/ and Mike Peterson will be blogging about the docs later today.
Other than bug fixes, these are the final docs, so please let us know if you find any problems. In particular, we're interested in non-functional context-sensitive help in Flex Builder. You can report bugs either by adding comments to this post or by using the public bugbase.

Bugs and known issues
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDOCS-282 - 'Create Self-Signed Digital Certificate' help button does not open a help topic.
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDOCS-307 - Printing a topic and its sub topics spews out duplicates at the sub-topic level resulting in huge printouts
Search within the Beta 3 docs on LiveDocs is funky. We're working on this and hope to have it fixed soon.
