Does an mc that is offscreen add to the cpu-load?
hello,
I was wondering if an mc that is added as a child to an mc, but is not seen on screen, adds to the graphic rendering load.
i turned it off, but just didn't remove it from the displaylist. it's timers are off, and doesn't do anything.
and if yes, does it help to turn visible to false? will that stop it from taking cpu-time?

If it's not doing anything it won't eat cpu, but if it is in the displaylist, i.e, flash's memory, it will add to your memory usage, and hence may turn up the lag(too much memory usage means lag)

It will probably just check if it needs to render it, and since it isn't on screen just skips over it(so probably really small CPU usage). The visible flag may be checked first, before all of its edges are checked(to see if any edge is on screen), so using the visible flag may help a bit. (but for a smaller number of mc's I doubt it matters)
