RE: FLASH: Something to do with Transparency...

[Len Harrison]

Side note on transparent Flash movies: They slow down tremendously. I tried

this in IE and within a VB form, just out of curiosity. I had a lot of

animated objects and buttons in the sample which works fine if not

transparent. On a 266 Pentium II, frame rate went to nothing. Things that

were supposed to spin just flashed, etc. MM mentions this in the

documentation but the results were much more pronounced than I imagined.

There's an example of using transparency, on the MM site(?), I've seen which

animates a little bird or something similiar. I don't think you could do a

lot more than this effectively.

P.S. apologies to all for provoking another Robert Warnke post. I wrote him

directly out of concern for his students in one last attempt to educate an

educator for the benefit of those he taught. Waste of time obviously. I did

not expect him to take this back to the list. And he didn't even quote the

good parts! ;=) -ljh
