Hi again! I’ve been looking into the various benefits and drawbacks of using CS3’s “Class” facility; making external scripts for flash documents. Whilst it seems that external scripting can make writing code somewhat easier, I haven’t found any reviews which suggest that the overall performance of the game is better.

Is this the case? Or does it not matter where you write your code? Thanks.
