Hi Patrick, AS 3 code executes faster in the Player at runtime. This devnet article describes the goals of ActionScript 3.0 - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/actionscript/articles/actionscript3_overview .html.
Currently, there hasn't been any improvement in SWF compilation speed within the Flash IDE. However, the compilation speed should be comparable to AS 2 compilation speed. (Note that the initial compilation after launching Flash will be a bit slower than later compilations because the Flash IDE initializes JVM hooks to call the Java AS 3 compiler during that first compilation.) -Nivesh QA Lead, Flash | Adobe Systems ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Thu, 06 Jul 2006 11:47:02 -0400 From: Patrick Matte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3 faster ?? To: Flashcoders mailing list <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Hi people, they say that AS3 is 10 times faster than AS2 but what does that really means ? Does that mean that my movies will play faster even if I have a few dozens movieclips with graphics flying all over the screen? Or does it just mean that my .swf will be compiling 10 times faster? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
