Thanks for the valuable information Nicolas. I strongly think you should write a book on Flash Player internals! This would be the missing piece for mastering the flash platform... I really miss this kind of information and a good dummie introduction to them (There's isn't such a book

Does the compiled code get recompiled during runtime to machine code (like a JIT compiler) or does it get interpreted? Some Adobe presentation on the subjet was saying that all the code get JIT'ed, except the $iinit and $cinit functions which are the one defining the classes and initializing

From what I know (And I am no expert on the Flash Player). The way the JIT process works, not everything is actually always JITed. Bytecode that is executed once may not tget JITed at all. But code that is accessed multiple times or deemed as a performance botleneck will get JITed. The

Here are some things I've been wondering about Actionscript 3.0s compiler and runtime engines: I'm assuming AS 3.0 compiles to a bytecode. What kind of bytecode does it compile to? Is it more like Java/.NET CLR, or more like Mozilla's Spidermonkey compiler? I don't know about SpiderMonkey,
