[F9/AS3] Discoveries and discussions

[Fall_X]

the interface is (almost) exactly the same as F8's. Not sure if that's a good thing though.

That's because it's an alpha release. It's basically just Flash 8 with AS3 support. Other changes will be there in the final release.

As for the speed increase, keep in mind that it's only AS that's faster - the rendering-engine didn't improve that much as far as I know. Well, using the new Sprite class would be a bit faster than movieclips, but I'm not sure how much.

if you're going to code a lot, use flex builder 2
It makes oo coding so much easier and lets you avoid making a lot of stupid errors
