Description

Try the following AS3:

var array1:Array = new Array();
var array2:Array = [];
var vector1:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
var vector2:Vector.<String> = new <String>[];

It results in the following JS:

var /** @type

{Array} */ array1 = new Array();
var /** @type {Array}

*/ array2 = [];
var /** @type

{Vector.<string>} */ vector1 = new Array();
var /** @type {Vector.<string>}

*/ vector2 = new {}();

vector2 should be initialized with [], similar to how array2 is initialized.
