Re: FLASH: Objects outside of the canvas

[Byron Canfield]

This, indeed, poses a dilemma, whether to sacrifice the control over an

object by successively trimming it to (or near) stage size, thereby making

it a set of multi-keyframe animation, or retain control by tweening a

single object, but suffer the oversize object.


I don't have any hard and fast facts on whether this puts additional load

on the CPU, but I have a subjective observation from a particular file I

created with a large gear wheel (already "complex" due to number fo control

points) that zoomed to much larger than the stage area. There appears to be

a considerable "drag" even though much of the object does not render to the

display, as though the positioning calculations for all those control

points must still be done (makes sense if Flash's implementation of vectors

is anything like PostScript).
