Re: [Flashcoders] Custom cacheAsBitmap with scale and rotate
The problem with that is once you rotate or scale it it reverts back to vector. Also another neat thing about dynamically forcing something to become a bitmap is it makes your sites loads smaller (as compared to raster), if it's a largely vector site. The problem with largely vector drawings is that they're slowww... hence, you can get the best of both worlds with the BitmapDataManager. I must admit though that it was a quick hack and I haven't worked on it since - i.e. adding the feature to pick your resolution, etc. On 7/31/06, John VanHorn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: cacheAsBitmap is a boolean property of a moive clip, so cant you set it to true while it is static, and then false before you have to scale or rotate it? -- Ramon Miguel M.

Have you tried drawing the movieclip to a bitmap using the BitmapData draw() methos?

Hi guys, So cacheAsBitmap is great, but it re-renders the bitmap every time you scale or rotate.
