No, it doesn’t affect performance using private vs. public.

Like mookstar said: Does anyone know if using access modifiers slows down execution time?
Because I know that for sure it affects.

Thanks.

“in most small projects [...] you can define everything as public and forget about the rest”

That’s a very bad practice !

Nice clear explanation of the different types, definitely worth showing to anyone confused on the matter.

Actually access modifiers were introduced in AS2. As AS2 was class based and is not what most people think it is. The following is actually AS1:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
for(i = 0; i<5; i++){
//stuff
}
}

I always wondered whether using private instead of public affects performance. Anyone…?
