Need help with performance

[dub_beat]

Hi,

I'm having some performance problems with a project of mine and i'd like to get some advice on how to go about trouble shooting the problem.

The problem is is that very often in my applicatio I am removing a movieclip and reattaching it . When this happens sometimes artifacts of the older movieclip remain on the stage.

Is there anything in flash that forces the screen to refresh?

Are there any techniques or tools that you know of that I can use to troubleshoot this what I think is performance issue

Doesn't sound like a performance issue to me. Are you using bitmapdata to draw the movieClip's onto the screen, or simply adding to the stage and removing. If it's the latter then getting artifacts is pretty weird.

I'm just adding and removing the movieclip to the stage.
The mc that I'm adding has 2 other mcs inside it and both use mc.graphics to draw on the movieclip for the duration that the movieclip is on stage
