[mtasc] array index, byte and compiler problem

[Lorenzo Sicilia]

Hi to all,

I have an array where I would like to use a byte like a key.
My goal it's a fast function with I can check if a Mask of Bit it's true or 
false than I trigger an event

...
public static var MYINDEX = 0x04;
this.controList = new Array();
this.controList[MYINDEX] = Delegate.create(this,this.myMethod);
...

public function checkMask() {
	for (var mask:Number in this.controList){
				this.controList[mask]((value & mask) != 0 );
	}
}

public function myMethod(status:Boolean):Void{
		if (status){
			trace (ok")
		}else{
			trace ("ko")
		}
	}

in my controlList the key it's the constant MYINDEX and the object it's a 
reference to myMethod.
when I check if the mask it's true myMethod get a true or false. 
With MM it works nice. In mtasc I get this compiler error:
Input.as:35: characters 27-39 : type error String should be Number

the snip:
35->for (var mask:Number in this.controList){
36->			this.controList[mask]((value & mask) != 0 );
37->}

in java when I use an HashMap I can use a byte key like hash.put(byte[] key)
in flash I can put an Objet in the key. Than I think that the best return type 
from a for in it's Object and not String. 
It's just my opinion :)
