This is so weird…I made textblock of 25 lines of text in Adobe Caslon type.
I broke it all apart, turning each line into a movieclip and then turning each word into a nested clip.
Can’t do it any other way, cause I need to scroll the whole text through a mask and have some words fade out earlier than others.
But the problem is that the CPU usage in both MX 2004 and the standalone flash player is over 90% !!! The scrolling, without ANY code other than a simple mcText.tween("_y", -500, 60, “linear”, 0) to move it up, makes it all look choppy!!
UpdateAfterEvent doesn’t make a different either (it’s as useless as usual).
Any advice/hints would be VERY much appreciated. My assignment is getting to run late like that
