[Flashcoders] Drop shadows and blurs how heavy on the processor?
Hi, I have say 10 items in a particular space, If I apply glows and drop shadows to all of them and all of these items are usually static. Other characters do move around them too. So I'm just wondering would it be wise to use vectors with actionscript blurs and glows. Or to have a PNG? and if I cannot have a PNG and have to work with vectors with glows/blurs/shadows. Would they be too heavy on the processor?

Consider this scenario : 30 Items one room. I scroll the room , all have drop shadows and glows, recommended?

Re: [Flashcoders] Drop shadows and blurs how heavy on the processor?
If you are not scaling the items, PNGs might work. However, they might bloat your swf size. Might be a trial and error thing that you would want to try and test. Not sure how bad blurs and glows/shadows are on the processor. I would probably still go the vector route.

Re: [Flashcoders] Drop shadows and blurs how heavy on the processor?
Well I would be using scaling, thats the only reason I'm using vectors for now. so I need to satisfy my designer with his needs and not over process things.

Re: [Flashcoders] Drop shadows and blurs how heavy on the processor?
If your scaling, PNGs are going to look like kaka (this probably isn't something new to you). I would use the blurs and shadows and play with the quality settings. If its too processor intensive, perhaps the designer needs to rethink the design to be more processor friendly. -Original Message- From: Fahim Akhter akhter.fa...@gmail.com Date: Sat, 22 May 2010 20:35:08 To: Flash Coders Listflashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Drop shadows and blurs how heavy on the processor?
