- Compound shape and Adobe Javascript -> Very slow, known issue?

Hello -

I've just made a small Adobe Illustrator Javascript.

It worked very smoothly until I added an object with a single compound shape.

When I launch the script, it works.

But afterwards, it's as if the script is slowing down my machine.

I thought my script was the reason (a infinite loop, ...), but after a lot of research,

I thought of releasing the compound shape. When I relaunched the script, everything ran smoothly and correctly.

So here's my question:

Is there a known problem/issue between Adobe Javascript programming and compound shapes?

Thank you...

I haven't noticed a particular speed issue dealing with compound shapes.

Do you want to share a test file along with your script? I can test it for you

Hey Carlos -

Thx for your reply.

Well strange, since when I remove/expand the embed the compound path everything works so much faster (while I use the script).
