> adding all of them to the display list takes so long and is just too much
What kind of time are you seeing? I was able to add 10,000 UIComponents as children in about 10 seconds. And I was able to add 10,000 Sprites as "raw" children (using rawChildren.addChild()) in about 2 seconds. How fast do you need it to be? - Gordon ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of arcencie1978 Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 6:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] What is the best way to draw about 10,000 to 15,000 rectangles? Hello folks, I'm trying to put about 10,000 to 15,000 rectangles in a stage. And I'd like to know what could be the best way to do this.. Of course, I can just draw everything on the stage, without having to make instances of a class, which defines the way to draw them. Yet the thing is that, every rectangle,sized about 5~10 pixel width and 3 pixel height, has to respond to events such as mouse over and mouse click events.. So I've tried to make a cell class and made some 10,000 instances of it but adding all of them to the display list takes so long and is just too much.... Yet forgetting about making instances of this sort of class and using something like BitmapData doesn't give me any idea about how to register events to each cell.. So is there anybody who has developed this sort of application? By the way, the reason I have to draw these so many pieces is because each cell actually represents a container in the harbor and there are just so many of them and my client wants to put all of'em in the application.........
