I ran into a similar issue before with effects classes. The first time they ran they were slow but then after that they ran normal. I don't think the effects or transitions are created until first use. Maybe Alex knows how to create them before first use?
Before AVM2 we would take everything out and then add things in piece by piece meaning start with a new blank renderer and test it. Then add in a label with static text and test it again. Then keep adding things in until you see a performance drop. You don't have to go all in on ActionScript just switch from bindings to using override data method. There are examples online. The data property can be null sometimes and that might have been the cause of the runtime errors. I would look at removing all the styles on each label. Set those on the group so they are inherited. I've had issues with setting percentages in renderer. With percentage based layout there can be multiple passes I believe. So do an experiment again with fixed positions and check the difference. Also, as Alex said, create a single instance of your formatter and use it once in the data setter: money.text = Global.myFormatter.format(data); //pseudo code You could also try setting the typical renderer data. I think that this gets the CPU to cache the calls ahead of time. On Nov 21, 2016 12:20 AM, "Alex Harui" <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > The two screen grabs seem to be from different samples.
