Premesis:I am using actionscript with two arraycollection containing object with value to be matched...Let's assume I have two list of elements A and B (no duplicate values) and I need to compare them and remove all the elements present in both, so at the end I should have
in A all the elements that are in A but not in B
in B all the elements that are in B but not in A
now I do something like that:
for (var i:int = 0 ; i < a.length ;)
{
var isFound:Boolean = false;[code].....
I cycle both the array and if I found a match I remove the items from both of the array (and don't increase the loop value so the for cycle progress in a correct way).I was wondering if (and i'm sure there is) there is a better (and less CPU consuming) way to do it...

Suppose I'm building a game where your ship moves with left/right keys.I assign a speed variable which is the number of pixels the ship will move when you press one of the said keys.Currently (on the tutorial I'm following) I have:

static const speed:Number = 150.0
Can't I just replace it:

Also, what's the difference between var a:Number and var a:int? And is there any important reason to add the .0 in 150.0?
I was just wondering what the difference between these two is.
