Hate to push this around again, but I've been searching heaps for this to no avail. I found one random post about performance differences but it didn't hint at any solutions.Are more people facing this problem, and does anybody know why? 2008/8/10 Ashim D'Silva [EMAIL PROTECTED] We've been

FYI the massive GIF of the guy falling onto the goat at the end seems to be a massive performance bottleneck... Also, you may find some useful information here: http://www.craftymind.com/2008/04/18/updated-elastic-racetrack-for-flash-9-and-avm2/ HTH Pete

Mac has always been inferior to PC when it comes to Flash performance (and I say that as a dedicated Mac user). It's improved alot with Flash 9+ and newer Macs, but nonetheless there seems to be a frustratingly persistent performance hit on the Mac which I've never seen a good explanation for. .m

Hey, thanks for all the feedback. I'd like to think we've tested on a large enough amount of machines to eliminate differences in power, and I hate to say it but PC's are performing better than Macs. There's no filters used anywhere but there's heaps of bitmapData everywhere which isn't being

Nice article. And really nice to see so much more on the subject. However, we have no device text in the entire game and the text everywhere else is rendered to bitmapData initially so it doesn't get re-rendered. Good to get more inputs though. 2008/8/14 Kenneth Kawamoto [EMAIL PROTECTED] This

Thanks Peter, I know its hard to address a problem without seeing it in full. We're working on anything we can think of: eliminating event listeners is first on the list. Hoping for the best. 2008/8/14 peter ginsberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 10:04 AM, Ashim D'Silva [EMAIL
