[osflash] flash2javascript

[Kevin Newman]

If they are claiming import is similar to with then I'd bet performance 
would suffer.

The with statement puts the scope defined within it at the end of the 
scope chain. That means for any variable "imported" with "with", the 
interpreter has to jump scope all the way to the top every time it can't 
find that variable in the current scope. That can be very costly in 
terms of performance (out of scope lookups are one of the most expensive 
tricks to use in javascript, unless my info is out of date).

Of course that's just an observation based on the example code posted at 
that link - I have no knowledge of the actual implementation. :-)
