Also, what code do you use to draw circles? Even in the MM docs, there are 2 methods, using 2 types of bezier curves: quadratic and cubic. Quadratic bezier method (of drawing circle) works fast and uses just 4 calls to curveTo(). But the result is "squared". Cubic bezier method uses Math class (sin and tan), draws perfect circles, but mu-u-uch slower.
Try to find the fastest method. And, of course, the less circles you draw, the better :-). -- Best regards, GregoryN ================================ http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
