What is the best framerate for Greensock ?

Wondering what the best framerate is to use for AIR on iOS [iPAD] ?

 

I'm currently using 60 .. but on larger images .. the tweens take a beating and get choppy sometimes.

 

Can someone from greensock chime in with what is recommended for mobile ?

There is no magic number. You have to consider the capabilities of the hardware and run-time and design your app in a way that will conform to those constraints. It makes a huge difference how big your image is, what properties are being tweened (alpha or position) and how many tweens are running while other computations are taking place.

 

If you are reaching the limits of what can be done with the standard Display List, you may want to consider using Stage3D and investigating a framework like Starling. You can still use Greensock to tween values. I've seen plenty of large-scale 3D environments running at 60fps. With Starling you can harness all the power of the GPU to do amazing things in 2D.

 

I wish there was a cut and dry answer to help you out.

 

Also, please note this is not an official GreenSock response. Just chiming in.
