If you have any flash files you would like to share, come upload them to Flash Files

In addition, I run the .as in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Flex separately, but the results were totally different.

Hence, my question is :

Is getTimer() accurate?Are there some other ways to calculate the time?
why the results are not stable?
Which is more accuarte, Adobe Flash CS3 Professional or Flex?

Thank you.

and some more suggestions:

I want native (if possible) core class methods added to String, Array, Object, Boolean, etc.

if .NET and Java got them I want them too for AS3

I don’t want to reinvent the wheel or have to use a StringUtil/String2/PuppetString class for such heavyly needed stuff as String.Format, startsWith, endsWith, trim, etc.

see more explanation here

seriously it is needed.

I like the sound of that, however I’m one of the many who have real diffculty getting my head around binary – I get what it is and how it works, but I get confused easily when it comes to relating ‘normal’ values to their binary counterparts for bitwise operations.

So hopefully either you or somebody else can take up the challenge and illustrate some useful examples of using bitwise operators for something other than hex color manipulations. That would be so insightful and useful from my point of view.

About your remark “AS3 seems to register a memory space for them and will have faster access.”, I attented at the session Gary Grossman did at MAX 2005 and he explained that the new way of keeping track of the structure of a class, called “traits”, indeed tells the player at what byte-offset it can find class properties (Gary, crrect me if I’m wrong :-), so that dramatically speeds up things, but also required you to type your variables, so the player can optimize memory access.

public var cList : Array; //

… hoping that one day we will get real typed arrays.
