Animate allows you to offer your assets using vectors for flexibility and fidelity.
And then publish the bitmap textures for performance in platforms that benefit from textures such as HTML5 Canvas.
Now if I go ahead and choose Control, Test I'll be able to view this in the native web browser.
As you can see here the vector brush performance is not that great on this particular publish platform.
We're using a lot of complex vectors and the native web browser really can't keep up.
This would be better suited as a texture.
So, to publish these assets as textures, we need to go into our Publish Settings... found in the Properties panel and from here within the Basics tab of JavaScript/HTML we can find the Export document as texture option.
You'll note here Better Performance, Larger Size.
Let's enable that and see this little wrench here.
These are Image Settings.
Let's go in there.
And that brings us to the Image Settings tab.
Now from here, we can by default choose to render all symbols included in our document as textures or we can hit Change...
This allows us to select specific assets to render as textures instead of vectors.
I'm just going to go ahead and choose to publish everything as textures.
So, I'll hit OK.
And once again, choose to Control, Test.
All right.
As you see here, the performance is much, much better than when we were dealing with vectors inside of the native browser.
