ActionScript 3.0 / Flash Player 9GC (Garbage Collector)

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Over the past few months I have been spending alot of my free time learning the new API’s available in ActionSctipt 3.0.

One thing that will always be crucial to quality Application development is memory allocation and code optomization ensuring this. Inevitably with all of the new features available in ActionScript 3.0 this is more nessasary than ever before. I found a great article by Grant Skinner about the new Garbage collector in Flash Player 9 which is a must read for anyone interested in ActionScript 3.0.
