Smooth shapes to improve rendering performance.
Unlike bitmaps, rendering vector content requires many calculations,
especially for gradients and complex paths that contain many control
points. As a designer or developer, make sure that shapes are optimized
enough. The following figure illustrates non-simplified paths with
many control points:
By using the Smooth tool in Flash Professional, you can remove
extra control points. An equivalent tool is available in Adobe®
Illustrator®, and the total number of points and paths can be seen
in the Document Info panel.
Smoothing removes extra control points, reducing the final size
of the SWF file and improving rendering performance. The next figure
illustrates the same paths after smoothing:
As long as you do not oversimplify paths, this optimization does
not change anything visually. However, the average frame rate of
your final application can be greatly improved by simplifying complex
paths.
