Hi! My name is Phil and I'm new to these forums.
I have an issue that has been bugging me a couple of days. First, let me be clear about what I'm trying to do. I am building an RPG style game and have a map class that extends an FX Pane.
I am trying to have animated water. I have about 72 farely large png files created with Adobe After Effects that are the animated water image files. They are about 1200 x 1200 pixels. At first I just tried popping these in an ImageView by calling
myImageView.setImage(my water name); but the program freaks out and crashes. I'm guessing because the files are so large and I'm setting the image every 100 millis (10 frames a second basically). I need a better way to do this obviously.
Any suggestions? I'm not above using a different method (ie. not using ImageView) if necessary. I'm not a beginner programmer by any means so feel free to leave me code if you want. I'm more familiar with ruby though
Anyways thanks for any help.
