Question about filters

1

hi everybody i have a little question, lets say i have a movieclip and i want to aply several filters to it in order to get a effect, that same effect can be also obtained exactly the same in photoshop and imported into flash as png, jpg, whatever

if the filters i use in the flash clip are like 3 or more, will the swf suffer a bigger performance impact usint it rather than using the photoshop image?

i hope a made myself clear ^^

cheers

Hi, can you be a little more clear? What do you mean by “Performance Impact”?

Importing a PSD, PNG etc. will increase the file size and download time, but it will decrease the use of RAM because there isnt’ anything for flash to process or consider. Using Flash filters will increase the use of RAM but will decrease the file size.

Solution: If your file is RAM intensive, use Photoshop. If your file is too large, use flash filters.

Soig please rduce your signature dimensions, they don’t fit the guidelines.

If you are going to change the filter properties while playing, I reccomend to use flash filetrs. If they are going to stay the same I reccomend PNGS
