		<description><![CDATA[In AS3, you can create an Array can be created with special syntax: myArray = []. You can even fill the Array with values all in one go: myArray = [1,2,3,4,5]. This is a nice shorthand that saves some typing compared to using the constructor: myArray = new Array(1,2,3,4,5). But, which way is faster? Today [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A comment posted before the Flash Player 10.1 series of articles asked about the performance differences between creating an object with o = new Object() and with o = {}. Below I&#8217;ll look into the generated bytecode for these two approaches and test their relative performance to see if either approach is faster than the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The differences between Vector and Array have been quite interesting since Vector was introduced in Flash Player 10. Until just recently I didn&#8217;t know that there was special syntax for declaring a Vector akin to Array's special a = [1,2,3,4,5] trick. This got me thinking about the various ways one can declare a Vector and, [...]]]></description>

I guess he had done with if the same sort of thing that I had done with for. Read on for a little insight into how the comma operator [...]]]></description>
