It's possible that your background SWFs are doing something that makes the player's filter code nervous, and so either drop shadow, or the blur background filter is having to be re-run every frame, which will own your CPU since it's not accelerated (afaik). Just an idea, but could be somewhere

One thing that can help in this kind of situation is not to bind, but to explicitly set the dataProvider. Won't that also cause the repeater to refresh, or are you saying to find the child of the repeater and set its data to the data that is updated? This is what I was thinking of trying

What could be in the SWFs that would do that? Also, my PopUp is not modal so it does not do the blur thing. For that reason, I suppose it would be more efficient to just use a static Canvas because it does not have to be dragged around the screen (originally it was, so I used a PopUp). Thanks

So, within a repeated component, you are modifying the underlying dataProvider item? You can probably find a way to update the DP without triggering the update events. If the DP is an ArrayCollection, then just setting a property value on the item should not cause the repeater to

There are no workarounds. Good design for Flash minimizes use of resources. The profiler can help you tune things, but if you use lots of SWFs you're going to pay a price. However, that may not be your main problem, and the profiler can help you determine that.

The first step here is to verify that it's really the SWFs that are causing the problem. Can you replace the animated SWFS with static assets (like very simple non-animated SWFs, or even just blank Sprite objects)? Then test and see if the performance is better. If not then it's a Flex problem. If
