AS 3.0 will it slow down?

[Vexagon]

Since AS3 is so much better (really) I dropped AS 2.0 forever.
Though AS3 is a lot more typing work, so, will it slow down my games by seperating the script to multiple layers? This will keep it more organized.

Yes, but not noticeably.

good to know

NO NO NO:

Please Analog-Stick, in future rather than saying what you 'think' or 'assume' is right, just say nothing at all.

Vexagon:

Layers are simply an abstraction of the flash IDE, it makes no difference to the compiled flash whether you have 1 layer, or 10 million layers, the layers are simply an abstraction to help with controlling the depths at which graphics are ordered, and in terms of any actionscript over the layers, will control the order of execution of the scripts.

In short, the answer is NO.

It probably should go without saying, but higher levels execute first as well:

trace("Layer 1");
// ---
trace("Layer 2");
// ---
Outputs:
Layer 1
Layer 2

Even better to know =D
I already thought so.
Though I usually work with 3 layers, bg, game and fg.
Keeps the movie organized =D

If you use AS 3.0 then you should use classes and a document class. Forget about timeline code and layers and all those silly ideas.

[Vexagon]

I should but for now I'll stick with the timeline.
