? In this case, and also for the scroll, you will not realy increase the speed with cacheAsBitmap. But I think you can do much better using BitmapData, scroll(), draw() and flash.geom.matrix in the draw() method. always sorry for my english David Buff - Original Message - From: Jason Ross

force a movieclip to stay as a bitmap, even if you make it super big. Of course, it'll get blurry if it's too big. Key is to taking a snapshot of what you want at the biggest size it'll be, or updating the bitmap data when it's at it's biggest size. On 10/11/06, Jason Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote
