Required Adobe products

Additional requirements

Read the complete session

  • ActionScript optimization (PDF, 239KB)

In this chapter, we will cover a range of optimizations that can be applied to your ActionScript. We will see how even the simplest of changes can provide improvements in execution speed and also learn how to minimize memory usage. The exact performance gain obtained from a recipe will vary depending on the version of AIR being used, the devices you wish to target, and the context within which the optimization is being applied.
