It depends on what you mean by compiled. All your ActionScript
compiles down to bytecode, or tokens, that are interpreted at run
time.
Capture happens before bubbling.
Go for the capture phase if it works for you and you need to shave a few
microseconds.
Just remember that the capture phase does not extend to the actual target.

I think Kevin is referring to JIT (Just In Time) compilation. While it's
true that actionscript source code is always compiled to
platform-independent bytecode, this bytecode still has to be converted into
native code before being run. That's what JIT (basically a compiler embedded

I am not sure about the interpreted bit - I can't remember to well, but
Colin Moock's AS3 book mentioned not putting too much code in a constructor
because of some constraint on the system - instead you should farm out
initialization to another function, e.g.
public
That's what I thought, thanks. :-)

Ok thanks. I was wondering if that was still the case - I'll assume it
is, and continue to pass off to init funcs when it makes sense.
I do wonder how they handle it on iOS with their ARM AOT compiler. Maybe
there is overhead on constructor code?
