Well, never having worked with ActionScript I can't say anything final, but I know that the compact ECMAScript specification allows dropping of eval and the like for speed when embedding the language.

I suggest you replace the variables count_1 through count_7 with an array count instead, and use array notation count[x] instead of eval('count_'+x). Additionally, array lookup is many times faster than eval, so that might even speed the execution up.
