[osflash] Q:Flash bitmap and double buffering

[Austin Haas]

My understanding is that true double buffering is impossible in Flash. There would have to be support for it in the player. Environments that support double buffering usually either have a mechanism explicitly built in, or they at least allow you to draw to the screen between screen refreshes, so that you can avoid problems like tearing. I don't believe there is any way to get around tearing in Flash until they build in double buffering support.
