roBitmap for smooth scrolling question

I want to have a smooth scrolling/panning of an image file using remote (up, down, left, right). Is using component roBitmap the best approach?

Re: roBitmap for smooth scrolling question

For smooth scrolling, yes (roBitmap, roScreen, and roRegion). The "scroll" example in the SDK does exactly that.

Re: roBitmap for smooth scrolling question

Also, if you use an roSprite to display the image, you might get smoother graphics performance as the compositing is done under the hood by the compositor instead of in Brightscript.
