Hi Ray, I know what intrinsics are, what they're _supposed_ to be for, and what they're actually used for. :-)
It's a matter of personal preference. I don't use them because, as I said earlier, I can do things in other ways. For the purpose I was talking about - seperating code into different .swf files - I'd rather come up with a design that uses interfaces, since interfaces are a part of the language. So far I've had no need for intrinsics. I'm sure if I came up with a need for them, I'd use them. :-) Ian On 10/16/06, Ray Chuan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Ian, an intrinsic is not used only for built-in Flash Player classes/code. You can use it to save yourself some time, since the compiler doesn't compiler the bytecode all again. With intrinsics no bytecode is generated, only type-checking is done. With interfaces bytecode is generated. I'm not saying that interfaces should be done away with and replaced with intrinsics. Interfaces are part of the paradigm, while Intrinsics are, to me, a Flash compiler-only feature for speed purposes, and has no impact whatsoever on your paradigm. (By paradigm i refer to OOP, coding methodology, etc.)
