With these details, is your answer to my original question still Yes? :)</p> Okies, the only problem is that looks like it is impossible to derive a class directly from DisplayObjectContainer class, and I should derive my class from Sprite class instead.

One more question on the same topic: I want to z-order my game objects in several layers, so that I actually don’t care how objects are ordered within one layer, but I need to be sure that layer1 objects are always drawn before layer2 objects.

After reading the docs I see this kind of solution – I derive a class GameObjectsLayer from the DisplayObjectContainer. So my GameLevel object instance will have several GameObjectsLayer instances, and each of game objects will be a child of one of these layer objects.

Please tell if I’m on the right path! Also, I wonder if this solution will co-work nicely your Serenity framework?

For me (using the downloaded SWF), the copyPixels method seems to be an average of 60 fps (very constant) while the built-in bitmap renderer seems to fluctuate a lot more, with an average fps in the 40s.</p> Interesting.
