Andreas, you got any links to your benchmarking? Id be interested to see them (Im not planning on migrating to AS3 just yet).

I did an l-system implementation in AS2 recently. In FP8 i could only do simple systems with a couple of recursions before the player choked, and playback was slow as well (i animated the growth with perlin noise for a wind effect). Porting to AS3 let me quadruple the l-system complexity, still get instantaneous results and far, far better playback speed. Not hard numbers, i know, but pretty mindblowing for me to watch as a developer. AS3 doesn't wrap AS2, this is important to remember. AS2 was pretty much AS1 with knobs on, AS3 is a new language to learn (albeit not a tough one to learn if you're used to AS2). - Andreas neo binedell wrote: > Of course it will be faster only if you port the code over to AS3 > (otherwise it will still use the old AS2/1 VM1). > > I posted about the 3D engine I wrote and the speed increase I got when > I converted it to AS3 a few days ago so you can check that out as an > example of just how much faster it is ;p > > ~neo > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Patrick Matte > Sent: 06 July 2006 05:47 PM > To: Flashcoders mailing list > Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 faster ?? > > Hi people, they say that AS3 is 10 times faster than AS2 but what does > that really means ?
