Hi,

So, I know people keep saying AS3 is 10x faster than AS2 so I shouldn’t work about performance, however! I find it a good practice to keep it as efficient as possible.

So I’m really just in for some general performance tips, like, should I avoid certain types? If statements, loops, events, whatever you have in store, just throw it at me please 🙂

Thank you,  
Matt
