Hi chris,
with is used so you don't have to constantly refer to a object hierarchy or
object when you are changing many properties or running many methods.
var myObject:CustomObjectType = new CustomObjectType();
//say that custom object has a property named duration and two methods start
and ping.
with(myObject)
{
duration = 5.5;
start();
ping("test.com");
}
its just so you dont have to do myObject.duration = 5.5 etc...
I've never used with. It's one of the most useless constructs.

Subject: [Flashcoders] getters and setters and the "with" statement
Is the "with" statement purpose to work with getters and setters (in AS2)?
If it is, has this issue been raised with Adobe?
Chris
