stage3d/starling 2d spritesheet control, how to? or..converting a 2d app to use stage3d

[Guest]

Ls,

Looking into porting my 2d game to the stage3d environment.

The ol'approach works fine  until a lot of stuff starts appearing on the screen at the same time.

At that point I believe it to be the displaylist that starts to clog or seriously draw resources.

So.... stage3d then.

Question:

I cannot find any "advanced" sprite control methods.

In my old app. im using MC''s and use gotoandplay to direct them to the current walk position and/or a deathsequence and such.

In starling i can spritesheet em, then juggle em, start em and stop em. But not specificly target any frame i want it to be on.

shaks!

So I could strip em apart into sub sequence spritesheets i.e: walking, running, taking, dying, throwing.

and then add and remove/replace em from the scene whenever a change occurs.

Would that be the way to do it?

Im fearing that this will nullify the stage3d speed enhancements.

All this beeing a seriously daunting task if it leads to nothing, I'm am seriously hoping someone can enlighten me on this.

Extreme regards,

Mac

I'd recommend looking over http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=147

the example only has 1 animation sqeuence in it but he does breifly mention how you would go about adding additional animation sqeuences
