[Tweener] Tweener 1.33.74

[Cedric Muller]

Hello Zeh,

Thanks for this clear explanation ;)


I have got a very naive question: I saw you declare for var loops  
using var i:uint, as far as I understand (and tested), var i:int is  
faster. Overall I don't think this changes anything, except maybe  
when there are hundreds of tweens..., but do you consider such low  
optimization technique or do you think this is purely crap  
considerations ?

Another small consideration:
you are using 'push' for pushing information at the end of an Array:
tweensArr.push("bob")
I tested tweensArr[tweensArr.length] = "bob" and it seems somewhat  
faster...

Actually my initial goal was to understand overall AS performance,  
not to look down for such in Tweener's code. It is just that I am  
sticking with Tweener because of its simplicity to use and now that I  
understand differences between 'int and uint' + 'array.push and array 
[array.length]' I want more :P

Thanks again,
Cedric
