quick pathfinding algorithm for lot of objects

i have lots of moving objects(maximum of 1000 objects) that each one needs to do pathfinding to maybe maximum 100 fixed locations(one object to one location at a time). What is the quickest pathfinding algorithm that best suit this? it doesn't have to be the shortest开发者_StackOverflow中文版 path, as long as the objects guaranteed to find the path is sufficient.

i have read the wikipedia about the A* but it says that the algorithm is slow.

if you have the code in actionscript 3 will help me alot

thx

Here's an A* implementation in ActionScript. I haven't tried it, but it seems good enough to start with:
