How to hide stage and stop 3D GPU processing temporarily without disposing? Software: Away3D 4.x

Sean72, Newbie Posted: 24 July 2013 11:46 PM Total Posts: 28 Hi, I have been working on an interface that will have both a video playback function and an Away3D function but not at the same time. I would like to be able to ‘turn off’ and/or hide the Away3D layer while the video is playing and then turn it back on at will. I have tried View3D.visible = false which ‘hides’ the 3D stage quite neatly, but a GPU monitor shows it is still processing the Away3D view, almost as much if it were still visible. For my computer, it isn’t a problem, but I know there are machines in the intended user base that will not be happy to both play video and process Away3D at the same time. There is a fairly large AWD file being loaded to set up the Away3D layer and I was hoping not to make the browser reload and rebuild the view every time I swap views. Does someone know of a way to do this?

To reduce GPU processing I would just stop the ENTER_FRAME function used to render the view. `private function pause_view():void { this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrameHandler); } private function resume_view():void { this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrameHandler); } private function onFrameHandler(event:Event):void { view.render(); }` This will stop the rendering process and will ease on the GPU usage.
