I'll simply title this in concordance with my Pac-Man game that I want to make. I was suggested to perhaps start with a programming language or platform that uses less overhead than, say, DirectX. I can agree to that, especially because then I can focus on the design of the game rather than the implementation- something I think is more ...
Flex 3 ActionScript does not support programmer threads. But what does flash.utils.Timer do? Does it run in a separate thread or the main loop?

I'm building an application in Actionscript using Flash assets, and my frame rate becomes very low (~7 fps) when I attempt to render 20+ assets on the screen, even though most of those assets are stopped movie clips.

Isn't there some way to re-write the following code, such that I don't need a gigantic switch statement with every conceivable type? Also, if I can replace the switch statement with some way to dynamically create new controls, then I can make the code smaller, more direct, and don't have to anticipate the possibility of custom control t...
