Hi all. OK, I'm making a Flash navigation for an amazing graffiti artist. We want to make the Nav so that as the user moves their cursor across the screen there is a cityscape that pans across with your cursor. Now the trick is that there are 4 layers panning at different rates to acheive a depth effect. You've seen this before.
2 Questions: 1) These layers are very wide, vector-based graphics. Should I make them raster to optimize the movement? 2)Should I make the movement of the 4 layers be a tween which is controled by actionscript or should I control each layer individually by AS?
Your thoughts are appreciated.

AS.
maybe better to use raster so long as the load time doesn't gert hideous

Depending on the complexity of the vector shapes, it may be better to go with transparent PNGs as your parallax layers.
You'll want to control each layer via AS.
I have a parallax demo built if you'd like to take a look at the code. Let me know.

thanks... I'd love to see the Parallax demo w/ code. I appreciate it

don't think layers, think pulling in other movies

Freehand is good, found that out the hard way if you are wanting to re-vector everything, unfortunately my love for illustrator couldn't transcend with Flash...
