Hi Forum,

I've been struggling a bit with performance on some of my in-progress games. Does anyone have any contributions for a thread dedicated to tips on good 3dfa practice for optimum performance?

I'll pose a few questions as a starter, that would certainly help me:

Are there any performance differences between using large script loops, versus small scripts and the use of 'functions'?

What are the best types of image file to use for the fastest animation speed and the lowest SWF file size (png,tif,bmp,jpg)?

What are the differences in performance to using sounds that are set to 'Export in SWF', 'Download External mp3' or 'Stream an External mp4'?
ie. What effect does this have on the movie loading time, versus the movie running speed?

Any tips on these questions, or any other performance ideas would be mightily useful !

Morgan.
