We have a number of transparent images that we'd like to display in Flex. I know that Flash is at heart a vector engine, so it suggests that performance of vector images will be much better than bitmaps.
1) Are vector images typically faster than bitmaps? I suspect there are a number of situations in which bitmaps will be smaller and/or faster. 2) How does one get vector images with a transparent background into Flex? I'm talking about the "production process" and not the @embed swf syntax. Assume the images will be coming from Adobe Illustrator. I assume that there are ways to do this with and without the Flash Authoring tool. Ideally there is a command line process? 3) From what I can tell, if we want transparency and the ability to load these on the fly, they must be swf's. (GIF's need to be embedded and FP7 does not support transparent JPEG's). Is this true? If I convert the transpent GIF's to a SWF, do I lose anything? ------------------------ Yahoo!
