I have 10,000 movieclips, but all are \_visible = false , everyone of them is hidden. I want to know, the fact that they’re hidden, in terms of the processor usage, is as if they don’t even exist? Or are they causing some burden on the processor, and hence affecting the speed of the movie?

Thanks!
