IPad Framerate

Question

Hey guys,
I had alot of trouble getting a smooth framerate on the ipad with the packager.
Here are some tipps that might help if you run into the same problems:
I updated the iPad to iOS 4.2 GM via the developer program
I disabled trace and debugging in the Flash Publish Settings
On the first frame of my .fla I placed "cacheAsBitmap = true;"
I published as Flash Player 10 .swf and then used the the command line packager to generate the .ipa
I tested rendermode cpu and gpu, gpu worked better

Just a question.
How did you manage the carousel in Flash?
I found difficult to sort the images in the z-order..
I've used some the array sortOn and reverse functions:
function enterFrameHandler(event:Event){
     listOfCards.sortOn("scaleX", Array.DESCENDING | Array.NUMERIC);
     listOfCards.reverse();
     for (var i:int= 0;i<listOfCards.length;i++){
           setChildIndex(listOfCards[i], i);
Where I set scaleX as property of my class Cards that extends a MovieClip:
function displayCard(){
  this.x = Math.cos(this.myangle) * radius.x + center.x;
  this.y = Math.sin(this.myangle) * radius.y + center.y;
  var s = this.y /(center.y+radius.y);
  this.scaleX = s*0.2;
  this.scaleY = s*0.2;
  this.myangle += this.speed;
However this seems to be very slow because I need to use both the sortOn and the reverse functions for an array (the use of array is not recommended for performances in any case)...
May you share some code here or in priavete?
Thank you,
