Hey, just a short question.  
I have a container Sprite which holds a sprite in it with pictures that move. Without the added filter on the container the framfrate it 26-30 (fine 🙂 ).  
When adding a glow filter to the container it shows up fine visually and only appears to be effecting the container.graphics elements. However the framerate drops to 15-30 (bad ☹ ) and this leads me to conclud that it is infact effecting the images aswell (of course!), so I was wondering if there was a way of getting round this, other than adding the image holder outside of the container, and other than creating a shape instance inside to draw in. I think I will probably add a shape instance to sort the small problem, but I was wondering if I had missed somthing. I’m learning flash in all it’s detail while Im making my site so forgive the many questions :D.  
My progress can be seen on [www.dan0.com](http://www.dan0.com) if you want to check it out, bear in mind its a prototype still!
