In the epsImport stack there is an field named "bezier resolution". This field determines the number of straight line segments used to draw the curves in Adobe Illustrator files. Test with low numbers (16 to 32) and high (128 to 256) and take note of the effect on the appareance and the redraw of the graphics. I know about your Golf game. Are you making your Golf courses as vector drawings? >I have a feeling if I have fifty graphic >objects each with 300 points or so >that MetaCard will crawl when I try to move >a group containing all fifty. >Anyone have experience with this? I have not notice delays when the graphics are grouped. Anyway, it could be more interesting if you compare the scroll of big groups of graphics, with the scroll of big groups of images. Newer versions of Adobe Illustrator are scriptables with applescript in mac and another language in windows. You could export every graphic as an image with a series of commands. I still had to learn how to take full advantage of this extraordinary capability.
