Hi Mark,


You need to lose the numerous little alpha-tweened "stars." This is detail 

you just don't need (make them solid if you use them at all) and alpha 

tweens are the number one culprit in slowing down the processor. Try taking 

them out completely (if they're on lne layer, just convert it to a guide 

layer temporarily) and see if this doesn't fix things.
