Hi Stevensacks, I ended up at your site through the flashcoders-list. As I do enjoy having an efficient workflow, or wish that I have - I got your jsfl-scripts. but I wonder why you, as you are a coder want the same name of the libraryitem also on the instance - since one libraryitem can be

[Flashcoders] Framerate performance

Does the bit-rate used in images affect flash frame rate? For examples are 8-bit images faster or will Flash auto-convert them to 16-bit when rendering to the screen. Thanks Elia Morling ___ Flashcoders mailing list

Yes, they are faster or yes Flash auto-converts them to 16-bit? :) Elia - Original Message - From: Steven Sacks [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 9:52 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Framerate performance Yes

Common sense dictates that a 32 bit pixel takes more rendering computation than a 16 bit pixel or an 8 bit pixel. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

If you import a large PNG with no alpha you will have slower frame rates than importing the same images as a JPG even at 100% compression, regardless of the Flash export settings for that image. You could set the PNG to export as an 80% JPG and it will still perform worse than if you imported
