hi,

I have this RPG-like screen where you have a character walking through… the forest or something… and the thing is… it’s lagging… LOTS…

On that scene… there are quite a lot of Tree graphics and grass graphics… I’ve tested this and apparently graphics run a lot smoother than movieclips with bitmap caching on…

Also… My character has lots of different hair styles all put into one movieclip… and i thought that by removing them all… and just have a attachMovie() script to pull in the appropriate hairstyle clips… it would go faster…

but apparently it doesn’t seem to of made much difference…

what other ways can i reduce the lag on flash?

thanks!
