The problem you're having is that the mouse is traveling at a faster

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',

AFAIK, using implicit casting rather than explicit in this case is faster, so
A1 in your examples is faster than A2. Also, it's better to move your variable
