Oops! Sorry for the previous message without a subject. Below is a
repeat.
My students are animating three characters on a card by hiding and
showing .png images against a background. Each character has a dozen
moves or so, and each move has between 5 and ten frames. Each figure is
approximately 400 x 600 pixels in size. My question is which would be
faster, having the frames be separate image objects and using hide/show;
or having just three image objects that draw their contents from images
on another card with a repeat loop and something like...
Put image "p1punch" & frameNo of Card 2 into image "Player1Main"?
Speed is important because we are starting to reach the limit of the
computers' ability to display the images.
I think the fastest thing would be to combine all the images into a
single animated gif. You can control which frame is displayed in a gif,
and with a little scripting, you can also show only a range of frames.
Using this method, the engine only needs to load the image once (instead
of loading each frame from a remote location) and you avoid the overhead
of hiding and showing images.
