public void queue(ImageView image, String url, boolean cache) {

One problem is that you can run out of memory if you use a lot of images, it’d probably be worth caching them to files instead.
queue.add(new Group(image, url, null, cache));
loadNext();
}

got this problem:

Doing the actual VectorText.write() takes about as much time as the flash player takes to do the actual rendering.

I’m guessing that if you used the Flash 10 GraphicsPath object for storing the ShapeRecord, instead of the list of Edge classes, it will be much more efficient to transform it during write().

This is because the ShapeRecord has only two vectors — the command and data. The command has the drawTo, curveTo, and moveTo information. This never gets transformed. The data contains a continuous list of x,y co-ordinates, in a Vector.. It is an easy job to iterate over the whole data vector with a scale and offset (and rotation if need be).

Doing this would also greatly reduce the number of objects within the ShapeRecord. The Arial ASCII glyphs that I checked did not use any Fill objects. Therefore the ShapeRecord could consist of only two fields — the bounds, and GraphicsPath for most cases. Only in strange cases would there be an interleaved array of FillStyle and GraphicsPath.

What do you think?

VectorText.extractFont(root.loaderInfo.bytes);
