I'm trying to get it so anything some things (like enemies, coins, etc) get unloaded once outside of the vcam view, but once inside the view get reloaded so I don't get a ton of lag because of vcam loading everything at once.

Anyone?

Thanks!

well this is what I do to calculate distance between the character and the enemy, maybe you could use it to set the range to the size of the screen then draw only if within range

//set the range
var range:Number = 300;

//calculate distance
var dist:Number = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(heroMC.x-enemyMC.x, 2)+Math.pow(heroMC.y-enemyMC.y, 2));

if(dist &lt range)
{
//do code here
}

all this needs to be in the loop function to work
