OK, here's the scenario:

I have a bitmap cached movie clip in a movie for Flash Player 9 built using CS3. If that movie clip is normally only showing a small portion, but contains in it a large (600 * 600) movie clip which is normally off the screen.

My question is - will there be a significant performance overhead for running the movie like this, ie: will Flash still do some processing for the off-screen movie clip each frame, as opposed to if the off screen movie clip was set visible = false or not there at all?
