So I am not exactly sure how to pose this question:
[LIST]
[]Say we have a particular set of possible children objects and a parent object (these are Sprite subclasses).
[]The parent is NOT attached to the SWF display list (so parent.parent = null).
[*]Thru a particular API, we attach the child to the parent’s display list indirectly (parent.addChild(child))
[/LIST]
Will calling the addChild API on the parent hinder performance since it is NOT attached to the main display list? Does that just get ignored since the parent is not attached? Are there any real performance gains by this?
This is relative to blitting techniques.
