How is Actionscript's performance compared to Javascript?
I'm asking about the performance of Actionscript compared to Javascript. I know that Flash files are compressed into bytecode and actionscript is running on a virtual machine. From this fact, my initial guess is that Actionscript will perform better (once initialized and resides in RAM) than Javascript. Javascript, on the other hand, is a scripting language. It's interpreted on-the-fly, thus performance-wise, JS should not outperform Actionscript.
Any comments/ answers/ more questions are very welcome!How is Actionscript's performance compared to Javascript?
No script is going to be overly hot for performance - if you want power in that sense then you need to start using a compiled language - C would be best.
I'm intrigued as to why a comparison between these two scripting languages is required though - they both have very different purposes, so its largely irrelevant which works better.How is Actionscript's performance compared to Javascript?
dammit, i forgot to vote for myself. the best answer in this case sucks, and its not what the guy was asking for.. Report Abuse
In terms of performance for high volume calculations i would have to say that Actionscript would be able to perform such calculations seemlessly. Report Abuse
Actionscript 3 on the Flash 9 player is the best for high volume calculations since it employs something JS does not, trait based object architecture. the flash 9 virtual machine is also ultra optimized to the point that real time 3D can be rendered seemlessly. Report Abuse
According to me the comparison itself is wrong AS is mainly to support the interactivity %26amp; in some animation purposes,but java script not meant only for above reasons.u can replace JS with AS but it will be like ronaldo play cricket maybe he can play but he is not a specialist cricket player.honestly as a animator i prefer AS rather than JS.
good question!! the sources below seem to touch base on performance issues..

Actionscript! How long does it take to learn?
Hi
I already know my way around Flash, tweening etc, using the built in functionalities, but I'd like to start getting a bit more advanced...
SO
Actionscripting.
How long does it take and is it a bit of a slog?
Thanks!Actionscript! How long does it take to learn?
It depends if you know any other programming languages (especially C-based languages). For example, if you know JavaScript, then you already know 80% of ActionScript.
However, if you do not know any other programming languages it should take several weeks to get a good grip on it. It really depends on how much time you dedicate. Even so, you should be able to do simple things within the first few days.
The best thing that you can do is go to your local bookstore and pick up a book on ActionScript, because learning it from online tutorials can be a real drag.
Here are a couple of sites that might interesting you :

Good luck!Actionscript! How long does it take to learn?
Depends on how much you study. It can be as quick as a few minutes to learn a few commands, to months or years to learn advanced programming topics.

What is the actionscript to make a flash exe window close?
I do not have Flash in front of me, but I think what you want is under fscommand. Look that up and see if that helps.
How do you use nextFrame(); to go more than one frame in Actionscript 3?
I'm using Flash Cs4 with Actionscript 3, and It would make my coding easier if I could use nextFrame but tell it to go two frames. Can I do that, and if so then how?How do you use nextFrame(); to go more than one frame in Actionscript 3?
You can't.
You have to use gotoAndStop() or gotoAndPlay() like this:
gotoAndStop(getCurrentFrame()+%26lt;number of frames to jump%26gt;);
i.e.
If I'm on frame 5 and I want to go to frame 10:
gotoAndStop(getCurrentFrame()+5);
N.B. Replace Stop with Play if you want your animation to continue playing after moving to the other frame.

In Flash ActionScript 3.0, how do I advance to the next frame every 3 seconds?
I have a very short Flash project that's 4 frames total. If nothing is clicked, I want it to advance to the next frame after 3 seconds. I could just do it on the timeline, but I would prefer to use ActionScript for this function if at all possible.In Flash ActionScript 3.0, how do I advance to the next frame every 3 seconds?
stop();
var myTimer : Timer = new Timer (3000,3);
myTimer. addEventListener (';timer';, timerHandler);
myTimer. start();
function timerHandler (event:TimerEvent): void {
this. nextFrame();
}
