Answer 1

I hope I have misunderstood what you needed, tell me.

.....chargeArray(1,4)


private function chargeArray(indexA:int,indexB:int):void
    {
        var myArray:Array = new Array();
        var expenses:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([ {Label:"Taxes", Value:2000}, 
        {Label:"Rent", Value:1000},
        {Label:"Bills", Value:100},
        {Label:"Car", Value:450},
        {Label:"Gas", Value:100},
        {Label:"Food", Value:200},
        {Label:"Taxes1", Value:2000} ]); 

        myArray = expenses.source.slice(indexA, indexB);     
        expenses.source.splice(indexA,(indexB-indexA));
        expenses.refresh();
    }

Answer 2

You can work with items using methods from Array class:

var myArray:Array = myCollection.source.slice(0, 5);
myAnotherCollection.addAll(new ArrayCollection(myArray));

Looks a bit tricky but there is no loops.
