If you have not been to the Big Spaceship Blog yet, you should. They have all sorts of great tips and thoughts ripe for the taking. Their most recent article is the second post in a series of Flash performance tips. I was aware of a few, but others were completely new to me. Performance optimization may seem like a nerdy thing to some, but the process allow things to be done in Flash that otherwise would be too costly to the average processor or be a memory hog.
One of the pieces I especially enjoyed were links to resources on advanced collision detection. There has been some really good work in this area and I found is really helpful as my experience in that subject is extremely low. Really though, all the tips are very helpful and any Actionscripter should take a few minutes out of the day to read this article.
