InheritanceVectorLayer Inheritance flash.display.Shape

The VectorLayer class draws the IVectors in its list to a single Graphics.
Though using the VectorLayer can prove to be a very convient way to draw vectors it doesn't necessarily yield any amazing performance differences. This is until the bitmapData property is used to get a bitmap render of the vector drawing allowing for further optimizations than the built-in cacheAsBitmap property can yield.
