  Here's a short list of things I noticed at first glance and how I deal with them. Note I mostly code is AS1 so these tips are geared to that.

  1. Code on different frames/timelines

  I keep everything external, I use .as files and have one clip in my lib that has export for as checked and contains all of my includes inbetween an #initclip #endinitclip block

  2. XML Looping

  I never use childNodes, a long time ago I learned this loop which is much much faster and leaner:

  var child = anyxml.firstChild;
  do {
  // parse child
  } while((child = child.nextSibling) != null);

  3. Code looping

  Always use do, while, or for...in
  loops, the i=0;l
