Hi. Regarding cacheAsBitmap, I was wondering whether to appy 'cacheAsBitmap' property on every nested sprites/movieclips or only on the main sprite/movieclip? In my case, I've one main container sprite, which has 3-4 sprites. These 3-4 sprites may also have children (shape/sprites). Now, I'm using scrollRect property of main container to scroll. I've set 'cacheAsBitmap' property to true for every single child/sub-child of the main container and of course to the main container as well. So, my question is, do I need to set for main container only or for every single child -it may have?

Correct answer moccamaximum

for main container only

if the nested sprites have animations themselves, then cacheAsBitmap is not a good choice:

Thanks for the correct reply and the link. This helped me a lot in understanding cacheAsBitmap property.

Edit:

After reading that post (link above), I think I'm doing wrong by setting cacheAsBitmap property to true for all nested children. It only consumes more memory! (Correct me if I'm wrong)
