Scaling gets heavy?

[Hulio]

I'm fighting with this issue to get a stack of pngs to scale from A to B. The tween gets very very heavy and it ain't smooth at all. The images aren't more than 40 kbs and there's 8 of them. No matter how I try to scale them by tweening them all together or separated, it's the same thing. What I'm I doing wrong here?

Ok, seems like drop shadow -filter makes the problem. Anyone having the same kind of issues with the filters?

Filters are notoriously CPU-hogs. That has nothing to do with tweening per se. And be careful about how large your images are in terms of dimension (kb size doesn't matter nearly as much). The more pixels Flash has to re-render on each frame, the more the CPU will be taxed. And minimize the use of alpha transparencies. And if your objects have an alpha of 0, set visible to false to make rendering much faster.

 

Hope that helps.

I have many more pngs then you are using and I'm scaling them all and all with the DropShadowFilter Plugin applied to them and I don't have the issue you're experiencing.
