hawaiian mage There is less processing information on the computer for things that are off screen. Like, it keeps track of the objects and such, but it doesn't have to convert them to actual visuals which is a big part of where the RAM goes. Most of the processing goes into converting the symbols from data into pixles unless you have a really small animation dimension wise. Stuff that is offscreen should only make a noticable impact if you literally have like two hundred symbols to be keeping track of.

Adding a mask around the already visible part of the movie aint going to do shit, unfortunatly. It's like it's already masked, so adding another mask wont help it any and will probably only make it run a very little bit slower.

You'll just have to do it the old fashion way and use less detail in the animation.

FS No, I'm fairly certain that the movie still plays everything in it, even though you can't see it.

flash question: masking

i've heard that if i have a bunch of other stuff offscreen then it makes the movie play slower. this makes sense, so i had a question on an easy way to get rid of it.

what if i put a mask around the frame of the movie? so all that other extra stuff gets edited out.

will that make it go slower?
