What do you mean by paging them? breaking them into pieces? we are planning on doing that so we can hide the portions that are off the stage and improve performance.' > > For the transparency, I'd probably look at creating a shape to act as a > mask, then you can create a MC or sprite which will have the correct > transparency, but you won't need a transparent file format. what do you mean by MC? will this allow for anti-aliased edges (ie. an alpha gradient)? If the images are moving relative to one another, will there be much of a performance overhead, or does the resulting masked image get processed just once, rather than on every draw. > > > Paul > > ______________________________**_________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.**com <Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/**mailman/listinfo/flashcoders<http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders> > _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
