It will have impact on rendering, but I wouldn't expect significant impact. You can set alpha to 0 and see if it gets better.

This is cool, but does the alpha setting of this shield have an affect on the application rendering speed? Hence, animations running behind this shield slowing in performance? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Try calling validateNow after setting enabled to false. > > > > Animations can shut down validatiom.
