How to make "object" not render?

What I mean is, just like one can turn a layer invisible, I though that making so, will affect any object in it to not render (and not load) as well. I have some graphics in there that I think kneel the game down in fps, so instead of deleting the graphic, how can I just make it disbled as to say for testing purposes? It would be nice to actually NOT render and load anyhing in an invisible layer.

Isn't that what setting an object invisible does?

In the editor yes, it doesn't apear, but when I run the preview everything apears even if invisible. I should add that I run preview in "file" mode since "http" mode doesn't seem to work for me (HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.)

Can you make a .capx file? Setting things invisible works fine for me.

Well...the specific project doesn't really matter as it happens in any project I try. If you do need it though I can send you a scene with a black ball :-). It's allways the same. Again...in "File" preview mode.

Works fine for me in all browsers in both preview modes: test

This is why you should always provide a .capx: it seems to be working fine here, so presumably you're doing something else you hadn't realised that is causing a problem.

Thanks for answering...

Obviously there was a confusion, because I was taking about turning a whole layer invisible. While it does work setting a Layer invisible through events, it doesn't if you UNcheck the box in the Layers window on top-left and run the game, without using any events whatsoever.

Obviously this is no big deal, since one can change Layer Visibility from within events.

Ah, I see the confusion now. You've missed the 'initial visibility' property :)

Layers have two properties:

Initial visibility - only affects the runtime

Visible in editor - only affects the editor

The checkbox is a shortcut for the "visible in editor" option. So if you want to change the runtime use the "initial visibility" option! <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Oh.. O.o Silly of me.. Thanks. That's exactly what happened :)
