Chris/Kevan, thanks for the replies.
The check/load test is something I use all the time with video or other large bits of media. But that ain't the prob: There seems to be a delay with not only putting the 3d member on the stage but switching antialiasing on/off produces the same delay. Maybe because it has to reload and reapply the texture? Antialiasing the texture works mch like qtvr but there's a performance hit while it applies the antialiasing. My main objective here is to find out what the options are, ie: Can Quicktime be installed without interrupting the user. Can the quality of iPix files be increased so they don't look bad when the viewer zoomes in? If I could get rid of the unresponsiveness then the 3D route may suffice. However, if there are other routes, I'd be interested to find what they are. Regards, Ian --- One trick I've used to avoid the loading delay is to always keep the 3d member in the frame. I just resize it to 1x1 pixel and stick it in a corner, but you could probably also stick it off stage. That way you only get the loading delay at the start of the program, where it is less noticeable. > If this is all the options, is there any way to increase the > responsiveness of the 3D route? You can test the state of the 3D member and only go to the frame on which it is displayed when it is fully loaded. It should then display immediately. --- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
