> by rendering do you mean the copyPixels operation itself? yes, I meant the copyPixels operation, but I admit it was only a presumption that rendering masks would be too slow (I once tested the "background transparent" ink for sprites and found that I'd better not use that if I could avoid it.) If you tell me that in the copyPixels command it'll be faster, I'll give it a try.
> I strongly suggest you find a copy of James Newton's book "Director Shockwave Studio Developer's Guide." I ordered it from Amazon some 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately it hasn't come out in Germany yet and shipping from US is quite slow. I'm looking forward to finally reading it.
