Update: I managed to render the data now. If you have the Flash Player 8.5 alpha installed, check it out: http://codeazur.com.br/stuff/flex2/vmap0/ I'm loading more than 3MB of binary data into the Flash Player, deserialize the data while loading using URLStream, and finally draw the worldmap (around 250.000 lineTo commands, more than 2.000 shapes). The binary files i'm loading are the original VMap0 Library Reference files. After the files are cached, the map renders in around 5 seconds on my machine (delayed via enterframe event, 100fps). I could possibly start rendering while the data is still loading but oh well. The only drawback: it eats a helluva memory ;) cheers, claus. _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
