Oh, actually I was talking about Flash runtime performance. By building and
compiling your app with haXe, your compiled SWF can run faster than a typical

lovely, and I'm already starting to use them, but if I'm writing
performance language.
I am sure that the RASE help make flash code faster.

You might want to take a look at FlashCamo: http://flashcamo.flashartofwar.com/
It's a framework for simplifying the type of work you're talking about, by
letting you use a much more complete CSS than Flash supports by default
(FlashCamo supports inheritance, etc), and set up sheets of decals
A lot of people don't like it, stylistically, but it will certainly work.
Generally I don't use ternary operators for anything other than assignments.

It depends which type of framework you're talking about, because in
PureMVC the controller is the commands. The commands only exist
temporarliy, and so you can't 'listen to events from the controller',
if that makes sense. So in PureMVC you have the commands directly call

I'll sometimes use callbacks in small, enclosed parts of a system,
which are coupled by their nature and are never going to have their

You'd need to instantiate the other class and then access it, like this:

}
}
