Re: Flash 3 Frame rate

[Scott Hamlin]

John,


Thanks for replying on this thread--as the other thread indicates, you

certainly have a lot of valuable insight.


>>AI and other impoted files need to be optimized inside Flash.

Flash uses a totally different drawing system than other vector formats.<<


Well, I tried to optimize the curves. On the blue aperture shape, it was

already fully optimized. Applying optmization, even on Maximum resulted in

0% improvement. On the burgandy shape, it did optimize about 33%, but that

did not seem to help--it still animated slow. Next I tried deleting

elements and seeing how everything else animated. Basically even when

everything else is gone the aperture and burgandy dial shapes both

individually animate slow no matter what I try.


<<Layer structure can also be a major cause of problems, causing Flash to

redraw unneccessarily.<<


That's interesting. Could you elaborate on that at all? I can't think of

what you mean by this.


<<If drawn in Flash or properlty optimized with proper structure this

should not be so sluggish.<<


Well, I'm sure you are right, but this example is starting give me doubts.

Again, the apertures shapes each have about 4-8 points (or whatever each)

and the burgandy shape was reduces to a relatively small number as well.

When I rendered these shapes in my vector program I was very careful to use

the minimum number of points/nodes. So, this problem is turning into a bit

of mystery.


Nevertheless, thanks for your help,


Scott
