Hi!  
Which one is the fastest way? I’m not 100% sure so I tought it’s the best idea to simply ask 🙂

-to draw lines  
drawing api - using mc’s and rotating them  
(I know the second one was faster in MX, but how is it now?)

-send/receive simple data, like messages  
java server, xml sockets - Coldfusion server

-key press  
on keypress handler inside mc - keyListener object

-bitmap scaling distorsions (both skew and perspective)
