A Bit Stumped

[mTorbin]

Hey all,

I've used Flash on and off over the years, but each time I "relearn" it, I am a bit rusty. Such is the case today.

I'm working on a 300 x 352 movie. The first scene has possibly 15 or so objects in it, each "trace bitmapped" from a photo (in case it matters the settings were 5/15/tight/many corners). I'm attempting do do a simple motion tween with them, and it seems like it's running SO SLOW. Also, if I trace bitmapped each of these items, and then converted them to a symbol, why is the file so big (800k with nothing more then the first frame filled it).

Am I missing something? Please help fill in the holes for me.

Thanks,

- MT

Why did you trace the bitmaps? Its mostly useful to simplify images ( for effects ), and not to make them look the same, but vectorized. They will end up huge.

Use normal bitmaps gor tweening.

Oh, so what you're saying is that I should just leave them as they are when they get imported? Hmmm.... Let me give that a try.

I thought vectorizing the image would make it much smaller in the eyes of Flash but I guess not.

Thanks!
