I think you have to keep the Flash player version in mind as well. Those tests and what lead to the awkward notation --> while (--i -(-1)) were done quite some time ago.
Which each new flash player version, performance improves, so what once was true (one being slower than the other), may no longer be the case. regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tyler Wright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 10:35 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Find item in array > :) > > So, for the sake of another one of those big arguments over what's better > where no one ever test, I wrote some code to find out exact results: > > The following code executes one particular test on my Windows XP machine. > For results I got an averate of 347 miliseconds executeing the --i -(-1) and > 343 ms with the for..in loop.
