Not sure if this is any indication of a possible speed increase across the board for Flash CS3 compile times, but I've just read this taken from Flashmagazine

It boots up and compiles files much faster than previous versions. As an example, I took a large sized file, with well over 250 images in it and compiled it in Flash 8 and Flash CS3. Flash 8 took about 40 seconds, Flash CS3 took about 18 seconds.

I'd be pretty stoked if this speed increase affected all projects, not just AS3 ones.

I’m pretty sure AS3, faster compile time and Error checking were at the top of the list in Flash CS3 Requests.

I’m as clueless as anyone on the AS2 front, but for AS3, it’s great news, actually. The AS3 compiler in the “Flash 9 Alpha AS3 preview” has a few crazy of bugs (its strict mode is specially weird and very different from the Flex one) and I was afraid that would be the shipping compiler. Thanks Flying Spaghetti Monster that’s not the case.

The FlexBuilder compiler is written in Java, and supports only AS 3.0. I haven’t seen this news about the Flash CS3 compiler, but I can almost certainly assure you that it won’t support AS 2.0.

What they’re likely doing is launching the asc.jar-based compiler for AS 3.0, and using the old one from Flash 8 for AS 2.0.

Would anyone from Macrodobia care to comment/correct me on this?
