The only appendText function I found was on a TextField object. I need
something for Strings. I tried the string.concat method and got the
following for the following tests:
test1: 500ms
test2: 2200ms
private function test1():void {
var i:int = -1;
var s:String = ""
var app:String = "append";
var time:int = getTimer();
while(++i < 1000000) {
s += "A";
}
val1 = getTimer() - time;
callLater(test2);
}
private function test2():void {
var i:int = -1;
var s:String = ""
var app:String = "append";
var time:int = getTimer();
while(++i < 1000000) {
s.concat("A");
}
val2 = getTimer() - time;
callLater(showResult);
}
