I know that Flash has certain issues when objects are scaled past a size somewhere in the 1000+ dimaensions. It would probably be better to split the images up into sizes less than 1000 pixels to be sure.

Hey list, hope all is well. I have a question about performance, thats been asked before but I can't find receiving any answer. Is it much more desirable to chop a massive bitmap up when scrolling it across the horizon? In my specific case I have bitmaps of between 4000px - 6000px in length which will also likely be scaled up, as this is for a mProjector app that will need to go full screen. Will the effort to chop it up be rewarded by much better performance? Will it be much less strenuous for the player? (FP8 in this case) Thanks in advance if anyone has any insight On 1 Nov 2005, at 19:46, Bill Brown wrote: > Is there any rendering performance difference between using one > giant bitmap > versus slicing up the bitmap into smaller bitmaps? > I am creating a scrolling game for a kiosk, so memory usage is not > a big > issue. > Currently I am slicing up one long unique image (no patterns or > repetitive > parts) into several smaller jpegs and loading them into movieclips > when they > are required (scrolled into view).
