Oscar, I starred it as well because I want everything to work in Flash :), but I believe even though you save in terms of memory when using vector graphics over bitmaps and you'd probably be able to zoom more "fluidly" I'm under the impression that using bitmap graphics or caching graphics as bitmaps when they are moving around in Flash offers a substantial increase in performance (no doubt with the Tegra processors on tablets and the future lines of processors we'll see the day when performance isn't so much of a concern). Basing this loose minor objection based on things I've read but haven't really tried yet.
Copied below from http://blog.swfhead.com/ 8 Things to Keep in Mind When Developing for Mobile with AIR (by Jesse Warden) <http://swfhead.com/blog/?p=935> December 21st, 2010 Bruce Flowers <http://twitter.com/bruceflowers> asked Jesse Warden<http://twitter.com/jesterxl>, “got any good resources for mobile dev re: performance optimization and what to expect on devices for standard AIR use cases?” Tweet here<http://twitter.com/bruceflowers/statuses/17373987159941120>. Jesse had some good responses and I wanted to save them for posterity’s sake. Here are Jesse’s 8 Things to keep in mind when developing for mobile with AIR: In case you can’t read in Twitter reverse chronological order, or you want to copy/paste: 1. don’t use Flex 2. make bitmaps multiples of 2 in sizes 3. make bitmaps exact size, dont’ scale ‘em. 4. use cacheAsBitmap where you can for moving content. 4. don’t use Graphics API 5. object pool where you can unless you plan on NOT running in the background 6. turn stage.framerate to 4 for Event.DEACTIVATE; no lower or Network connections will fail to return. 7. make a splash screen; AIR is slow to boot, specially if phone is busy doing stuff 8. careful creating over 500 of anything That’s actually 9. But whatever. Ok, not an official blog post, and not written by me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API For Flash" group.
