Where do I find that list of the subset of APIs that Worker supports?

ActionScript Workers (concurrency) supports a subset of the ActionScript APIs. For example you cannot access StageVideo or Stage3D from within a Worker.

I would expect to find this list of supported API's (or the list of API's that are excluded) at:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/Worker.html

But I did not find it there. (I asked this question also in the Flash Player forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5650761)

Where do I find that list shows you which ActionScript API's are not supported within a worker?

Correct answer zeh

Release notes for 3.4 had a list. Check page 4, "non-functional APIs".

Although I'd assume it's probably subject to change from version to version, hence why they don't list that in the documentation anywhere. Checking "isSupported" or the equivalent on a given API is probably the best way to be sure. Also check the "behaviorial changes" section that follows.
