AS 2.0 optimising.. 2004-03-15 - By Metanet Software

hey,
okay, i've read the updated flasm docs, and i just have a couple of
questions; not about coding, but about IDE/etc..
since (for reasons i'll never understand) identifier length STILL makes a
speed difference, what process/method is everyone using to "automatically"
generate shorted names? ASOpro seems to do this, but it's not working with
any of my code (i use dynamic references a lot so..).
my problem is that i've got about 20k lines of code spread out over 30-50
files, and search+replace is REALLY not an option: i already use short names
such as i, n, etc. for local vars, so i can't just blindly use single chars.
anyway.. if anyone has any ideas about this, please let me know.
also, as a second question: in AS1, looking up a value from an array seemed
to be linear-time (i.e O(n)), probably because internally they were
implemented as linked-lists since each array element could be of various
types. in AS2, now that flash finally has a concept of type, do we finally
get "real" (i.e constant-time access) arrays?
i've just been using "hash-list" objects, but it's annoying to always have
to track the list length seperately, etc.. sometimes you really need an
array.
