I've got a large image that I'm having to fade out... now is it quicker to put a shape clip over the top and fade it 50% black, over the top, or just fade the image 50%?

C: Tint the image black 50%.
D: You should try to avoid doing stuff with large imagery

It also might be helpful to use a tween class, especially if you need to do a lot of fades like this interactively.
http://blog.greensock.com/tweenl… (works for AS2 or AS3) not sure which version of actionscript you are using.

yeah i use greensock already... the image is too big for tinting i think... more worried about stuff over the top of it after tinted/faded that the tint transition itself

(too big for tinting by greensock that is)

? is this an experiment, or is it something already promised to a client? Is it an attempt to make 2 visually competing elements less jarringly visual on top of each other? I say this because when I worked at an agency, we had to do things like this in order to try to rescue projects where CD's didn't want to make decisions and so wanted both things at the same time, but in some innovative way, and that caused lots of things like fades and CPU-taxing flash code and allnighters debugging and such....

I feel your pain. I do a lot of UI designs for 1080 x 1920 Flash touchscreens. Animating anything with large images on this format and Flash Player becomes Sludge Player.
Tried timeline tweens and AS tweens but pretty much always end up compromising...

I think my mac pro is slower than my iMac i had... plus the site runs better on ie on parallels... daft!

Just updated with the new mac os update, and possibly faster than I've ever seen it... which is nice... they've also apparently fixed the type 1 font leading (so will have to change the two projects I was working on back again... arse!)
