Re: Mysite Design speed
Late on parade here! I believe there's a general opinion that vector images are ALWAYS smaller than bitmap images when used in Flash/Swish/Web etc and of course we know this isn't always the case. But I must agree with Paul, static vector images are drawn once and only once. Obviously if the vector is animated it needs to be redrawn every frame and this MAY be slower than using a bitmap depending on the complexity of the shape.
Regarding the size, again if the vector is static there's no problem, but tweening a vector to ever greater size can slow the rendering down, as it does for a bitmap, but a vector can become very slow at large sizes, way out of proportions the that of the bitmap. But non of this bears any relation to the initial vector size. I fact I often inport XX vectors via swf into Flash at 1000 pixels and then reduce them. This creates a far smoother image.
One thing that I've noticed over the years is that if your going to animate a complex vector then do it using a group vector. Ungrouped vectors can be very jerky.
