well... i dunno. the only thing i can think of is maybe with the vector you were carelessly throwing around add(), addElement(), iterators, get(), etc... that's all i can think of. i mean, the following code does the same thing (not the SAME, but you know what i mean):
////////////////////////////////
Vector v = new Vector(200);
v.setSize(200);
v.set(myIndex, myObject);
v.set(myIndex2, myObject2);
////////////////////////////////
Object [] a = new Object[200];
a[myIndex] = myObject;
a[myIndex2] = myObject2;
////////////////////////////////
maybe you were accidently doing something like v.add(myIndex, myObject). add() doesn't SET the object at myIndex to myObject, it simply inserts myObject before the current object at myIndex.
maybe this helps
