I'm testing out the speed of AS3 using BitmapData to render 8,000 particles.

Thanks for leaving that comment, never really investigated much into what lock() and unlock() actually did, I just automatically asumed they simply made the bitmap not update at all until using unlock(). xD

I didn't know you could lock pixels in flash, although I've done it in other languages. Thanks for that, that helps with my performance

Not gonna lie, that's pretty sweet. BitmapData in AS3 is very nice

Wow. I'm amazed that flash can handle that many particles moving dynamically and not lag.

This isn't done too efficiently, take a look at this page to see how powerful it can really be. [link]

That is amazing. It's surprisingly simple. I'll have to delve into this more.
