Data stored as Objects instead of Arrays

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As AS3 is an OOP language, I find it odd that you chose to store the data in 
Arrays. The data would be much easier to work with if you would store the data 
as an Array filled with Objects, that have all the properties the header Array 
has.

In my own instance of csvlib I've added these two functions, I hope you will 
consider implementing something similair.

public function decodeToObject():void {
            decode();
            var dataArray:Array = data as Array;
            var voList:Array = [];
            var i:int;
            var length:int = header.length;
            for(i = 0; i <length; i++){
                voList.push(toObject(dataArray[i]))
            }

            data = voList;
        }

        public function toObject(entry:Array):Object {
            //the length of the entry should be the same as that of the header array

            var vo:Object = new Object();
            var i:int;
            var length:int = header.length;
            var propertyName:String;
            for(i = 0; i < length; i++){
                propertyName = header[i];       
                vo[propertyName] = entry[i];
            }

            return vo;
        }
