I would like to better understand how Flash displays display objects, so I better understand how to optimize my games.
I previously created a game that had a scrollable, repeating (and parallaxing) background. I laid it out and cached it as a bitmap, which was pretty painful when taking animated screen objects in the background. Is there a better way to do this?
Another question: if I have a large bitmap (or vector art that I cached as a bitmap), is there any performance if it is completely turned off? How about if it is partially displayed on the screen - should the flash drive display the entire bitmap or what it sees on the screen?
