A straight array is very inefficient way to store a dictionary. In fact it's inefficient in terms of memory and word look up. Let me point you to an implementation of a Trie in Actionscript 3 I wrote which may help you out. It looks up words in O(n) time and is much more memory efficient. I wrote it for the Wordplay contest and I'm happy to share.

It's worth checking out other data structures, I found a red-black-tree implementation somewhere (I think it was FlashKit) which makes searches so much faster than running through an array.

Then we loaded files and used applicationDomian.getDifinition bla bla. Its is so cool to have fix now! We had the same problems some time a go and we overcome by separating into 2 parts.

Okay I will try. I abandoned a word game a few months back because the thing wouldn't compile... And it was definitely from the long lists. Looks like yuo'll have some competition Emanuelle :-) Ha!

A tutorial maybe? :) Like Lawrie, I too am interested in how you are parsing and accessing the word list…

Out of interest - how are you parsing and accessing the game list? Any optimisation recommendations? Thanks for the tip Emanuele. Out of interest – how are you parsing and accessing the game list?
