Method Detail

add

add(values : Object...) : boolean

Adds the specified objects to the collection. The method can also be called with an ECMA array as argument. If called with a single ECMA array as argument the individual elements of that array are added to the collection. If the array object itself should be added use the method add1().

Parameters:

values - the values to add.

Returns:

true if the values were added, false otherwise.

add1

add1(object : Object) : boolean

The method adds a single object to the collection.

Parameters:

object - the object to add.

Returns:

true if the object was added, false otherwise.


addAll

addAll(objs : Collection) : boolean

Adds the collection of objects to the collection.

Parameters:

objs - the objects to add.

Returns:

true if the objects were added, false otherwise.


clear

clear() : void

Clears the collection.


contains

contains(obj : Object) : boolean

Returns true if the collection contains the specified object.

Parameters:

obj - the object to locate in this collection.

Returns:

true if the collection contains the specified object, false otherwise.


containsAll

containsAll(objs : Collection) : boolean

Returns true if the collection contains all of the objects in the specified collection.

Parameters:

objs - the collection of objects to locate in this collection.

Returns:

true if the collection contains all of the specified objects, false otherwise.


getLength

getLength() : Number

Returns the length of the collection. This is similar to to a ECMA array of 'products.length'.

Returns:

the length of the collection.


isEmpty

isEmpty() : boolean

Returns true if the collection is empty.

Returns:

true if the collection is empty, false otherwise


iterator

iterator() : Iterator

Returns an iterator that can be used to access the members of the collection.

Returns:

an iterator that can be used to access the members of the collection.


remove

remove(obj : Object) : boolean

Removes the specified object from the collection.

Parameters:

obj - the object to remove.

Returns:

true if the specified object was removed, false otherwise.


removeAll

removeAll(objs : Collection) : boolean

Removes all of object in the specified object from the collection.

Parameters:

objs - the collection of objects to remove.

Returns:

true if the all of the specified objects were removed, false otherwise.


retainAll

retainAll(objs : Collection) : boolean

Removes all of object in the collection that are not in the specified collection.

Parameters:

objs - the collection of objects to retain in the collection.

Returns:

true if the collection retains all of the specified objects, false otherwise.


size

size() : Number

Returns the size of the collection.

Returns:

the size of the collection.


toArray

toArray() : Array

Returns all elements of this collection in a newly created array. The returned array is independent of this collection and can be modified without changing the collection. The elements in the array are in the same order as they are returned when iterating over this collection.

Returns:

a newly created array.


toArray

toArray(start : Number, size : Number) : Array

Returns a subset of the elements of this collection in a newly created array. The returned array is independent of this collection and can be modified without changing the collection. The elements in the array are in the same order as they are returned when iterating over this collection.

Parameters:

start - the number of elements to iterate before adding elements to the array. Negative values are treated as 0.

size - the maximum number of elements to add to the array. Nonpositive values always result in empty array.

Returns:

a newly created array.
