[osflash] mtasc slower than IDE ???

[Arnoud Bos]

Hi Martin,

 

Strange, cause i use delegates al the time as well as event dispatching.

Also the project has 30+ classes with some 1000 rules of code in them.

What I do use is the prototype hack like:

(this is the create function in my Screen class)

 

 

public static function create(target:MovieClip, name:String, depth:Number,
visible:Boolean) : Screen {

                        

                        // create the visual representation of the screen.

                        // uses a hack to prevent needles library assets
with linkage is's or classes attached 

                        var goal:MovieClip =
target.createEmptyMovieClip(name, depth);

                        goal._visible = visible;

                        goal.__proto__ = Screen.prototype;      // redirect
objects prototype chain

                        goal.__constructor__ = Screen;            // assign
superclass constructor to the object

                        var instance:Screen = Screen(goal);      // force
right class

                        GDispatcher.initialize(instance);             //
make dispatcher

                        return instance;
// return the instance

            }

 

This I use in many classes that have a visual representation.

 

Maybe there is something in this code MTASC doesn't like too much.

It does work however :-)

 

 

Thanx,

 

Arnoud

Well I recognized the MM Compiler (7&8) to be slower if you use complex
relationships. The more you type the slower it gets. Delegations and complex
structures help to confuse it further. Perhaps for the cases where it uses
almost no typing (just preparing bytecode from methods) it might be almost
same fast. Just thoughts...

Martin.

Thnx David and Nicholas for your answers,

It was indeed the ASO cache, when deleting it theye are  now both compiling
at apox the same speed.

I think the speed improvement of MTASC is most noticeable when you have a 
complex library that needs not to be recompiled due to the code injection,
right?

My lib is not complex at all so that may be the reason that the performance
is likewise of both.

Thanx again.

Arnoud

So does flash 8, the whole '.ASO' issues come from that if i'm correct. 

Try doing Delete All ASO files (or Clear All ASO files) in the IDE
before compiling & timing it. It's in one of the top-level menus
