I found a bug in Date class of AS 3.0.
Its assumed that always date object is an idle solution for few timer based events.
But, the date object after continuous access over a period of 2 seconds will not show any
difference in the output.
Try this...
var d0:Number = (new Date() ).getTime();
var d1:Number = (new Date() ).getTime();
// iterate this.. you will get same values for both d0 and d1
trace(d0 +" - " + d1);

Not true - they are not always equal. Check the following snippet:
var iterations:Number = 0;
var different:Number = 0;
while(true) {
iterations++;
var d0:Number = (new Date()).getTime();
var d1:Number = (new Date()).getTime();
if (d0 != d1) {
different++;
trace(d0 + " " + d1 + " " + 100 * different / iterations + "%");
}
}
The result is platform and hardware dependant - my test showed that they are different in around 0.01% of the cases (once in 10000).
Also, this is not a bug - they are almost always equal because timer resolution appears to be around 15 milliseconds (on Windows at least).
