Now there's something for flash to aspire to, yeah?
Becoming an assembly language and browser language in one.
Would help with the whole iphone thing wouldn't it? lol
Speed and performance wise i mean. Becoming a semi-native language.
if they do that and say AS4 becomes a assembly+ language,
couldn't you utilize that best with the air application and say a
little flex?
Being that Air communicates with the destop and all.
Doesn't flex best with applications as well?
Just curious if that is possible or if I'm day dreaming..

Seeing the whole apparat project of Joa Ebert or the stuff Nicolas

pulls off...
When reading about that, I think a bit of a c++ or even assembler
knowledge
would've
helped a great deal, since I'm playing with alchemy a bit myself
now as
well.
I realise that stuff isn't found in the average Flash project,
allthough I
did work in a project
not too long ago where they are implementing some alchemy to speed
things
up.

Unresponsive flash apps are the number one irritation imho.
LOL, I have yet to write one and I have yet to use any techniques
from my
assembler or C++ days. In most cases Flash provides more than
adequate
responsiveness with very little special care.
The top of the priority list is a user experience that makes the
client
happy and performance and responsiveness has yet to be a deciding
issue.
The most challenging responsiveness issue I have had has been
parsing large
text files for data (several megabytes in size) using AS2 while
keeping a
visualisation animating smoothly and preventing script time-outs.
It was
very much the rare exception.
I realise that for some people manipulating large numbers of
animated clips
or sprites, performance could be an issue, but I think such
applications of
flash aren't the mainstream.
