Sluggish on Mobile Device

[Dan Friedman]

I have a stack/card that has:

(1) A background that is a high-res image,
(2) A group of about 200 groups that form a scrolling list,
(3) 2 buttons and another group all with transparencies that live on top of the scrolling list.

On a desktop computer, it’s fine.  But on an actual device (or the simulator), the scrolling list scrolls REALLY sluggish.  It’s slow, stutters and is absolutely unacceptable.   I have messed around with the compositorType and the layerMode of objects -- all without seemingly any effect.

Is there a secret to getting a group on a complex card to scroll cleanly, or is LiveCode (8.1.5) unable to do this smoothly?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
