I love the re-tooled Debugger. Just being able to expand and collapse my

at the breakpoint, I don't lose my place. The script doesn't shift, and I'm

My overheated benchmarks show that the chars() function is the winner by as

Lightspan,
Can you set the colors on this sprite so that you can't see it?
(leave it visible, just camouflage it.
That's pricisely the kludge I'm running now. And it works, so I'm not going
to fight it any longer. The QA Mode status text sprite is on-stage, but is
shrunk to a height of only a few pixels
Don't have a clue, but have you thought about leaving the text sprite
there and not worrying about it? What happens if you have the text
sprite, but don't write to it, or only write to it once in the whole
routine?
We ran a test that left the text sprite on-stage, and wrote into it in

Have you tried throwing some put statements in there or commenting out
specific chunks of code to try to determine what portion of the code is
causing the slow-down?
Yes. See my reply to Jakob.
How bulky are the XML files that you are parsing? Could they be slowing
things down?
The XML is
Does the text-fix also work if the member is not on the stage, or
not even in a sprite?
No. The sprite needs to be on-stage and visible for the speed-up to occur.
-If it only 'fixes' while on the stage, then it might have to do with
the sort of 'mini-updatestage' i anticipate is happening
Thank you, everyone, for your help.
After much consternation and consideration, I tried placing another instance
of my Status text member onto the stage in a separate channel. I assigned
a small behavior to that sprite to make it visible only in Release Mode,
shrunk the height of the member to
The XML Parser Xtra supports the UTF-8 and UTF-16 encodings of the Unicode

If you're using the XML Parser Xtra, then every child node in the tree has a
