Ah i see. I am missing the point, since why not let a Screen class
extend Movieclip and let it create a movieclip in it's constructor? But
that's not meant to be criticism though :) Everybody his/hers own way of
solving things. I always find it interesting to see other peoples
solutions for common problems.
Cheers, Ben

I don't know :-)
In my app i use screens. These are actually extended movieclips (I like
to move them around etc.)
But I don't want to make a library item of the Screen. All assets that
go into the screen
are made programmically (that's not an English word for sure :-))
NB the create function is a method of my screen class.
So I create an movieclip (by using a static factory method) and then I
reassign the
Prototype from movieclip to Screen as well as the constructor.
Finally I cast it to Screen.
And then I have a screen object with a visual representation on screen
without the
Need for a library representation of the Screen in the Flash IDE.
To be short, I like to keep as much of my apps in the code so that I
don't have to switch between Flash ide and
FlashDevelop when developing.
Btw th GDispatcher is needed to broadcast screen events to my GUI
manager that moves the screens around etc...
Hope that helps,
arnoud

Looks interesting... but what does it do exactly?
Grt, Ben

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...
yours
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
