Optimization Tips

Pred:
Sorry mate, I meant an actual Flash register as opposed to a "real" CPU one.
I think the look-up time is greatly improved if a variable is declared as opposed to just shoved in there.

I really need to read up on the swf file format and fire up FLASM. joy.

AJ:
A while loop is quicker than a for loop, the example loop you posted wasn't formed as well as it could have been, eg

var i=(10/2)+1;  //Just for examples sake
while (--i){
   doSomeThing();
   doSomeThing();
} 

Squize.
