[Papervision3D] Newbie post!

[Aral Balkan]

Hi Stephen,

There's a completely new virtual machine in Flash Player 9 that runs  
AS3 bytecode. It sits alongside the legacy virtual machine that runs  
AS2/AS1 bytecode.

The new VM is much faster since it doesn't have to worry about legacy  
bytecode support all the way back to the earliest days of Flash.
