Really strange, and annoying, and, maybe i guess the flash player 9 is still on a early version with strange and buggy things( there is some annoying bugs i discovered http://www.rgenerat.org/iileyblog/).
I think EventDispatcher is a really native class too so it can have very different speed on different platform, Adobe should have ideas to improve, or they just don't kown the speed difference so not have chance to optimize it yet(Or this is just the real truth)? Can you post the EventBroadcaster source then we may can get more infomation, Francis? -- iiley AsWing http://www.aswing.org Personal http://www.iiley.com
