Hey guys... I wanted to know if anyone in the past has had any experience with testing the performance of a flash site using transparencies vs. solid colored graphics. Will the fact that you apply an opacity to a graphic (non-animated) affect the overall performance of the site in terms of animation (other objects that do not have an opacity property yet still animate on the site). Just wondering if any flash gurus here have ever seen any tech notes from macromedia on this before... i cant seem to find anything nor have the time to test it myself since I may be doing a project soon that requires many transparencies on the interface.

stay away from alpha tweens on your bitmaps. don't tween too much text and bitmap at the same time, it gets choppy. you can rape vectors if u'd like. unless don't use too complicated vectors.
and at last but not the least don't use geeky thread names.

I've actually been using flash for over 5 years so i know about the tweening of alphas and text producing choppy artifacts. I was referring to having an interface built with gradients and transparencies in which animations occurred over it (bitmap or not). Would this affect the overall performance being that transparencies are present in details such as buttons, panels, etc. VS using solid shapes without the attribute of opacity given to that graphic.
