Sup All!  
I’ve heard there are alot of knowledgable flasher’s here.(Flash MX not flash your privates lol!)  
So i’ve got a question about image fading.  
In my movie i’m fading a prety large image (750x300) and its pinging my CPU at 60% 8-0.  
I was wondering if this just comes wih fading a large image or would fading a mask over the image be more efficient?

[Here’s the Movie](http://d456237.u33.infinology.net/kh2/)  
The background fades every 20 seconds.

And thanks in advance for sharing your know-how 😃
