Interesting. Thank you, I will try this out tonight when I get home! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ramon Miguel M. Tayag Sent: 11 October 2006 13:48 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] CacheAsBitmap advice
I've posted this before, but it may help you: ================ http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=659163 ================ As you can see in that post, if you do any scaling or rotation to a cachedAsBitmap MovieClip, it temporarily becomes a vector again, just to update itself. That class can "force" a movieclip to stay as a bitmap, even if you make it super big. Of course, it'll get blurry if it's too big. Key is to taking a snapshot of what you want at the biggest size it'll be, or updating the bitmap data when it's at it's biggest size.
