FLASH: Frame Rates: Different Size Window, Different Speeds???

[Neil Weinberg]

Hi all,


With all of the really complex questions on this list about variables and

a-a-a-actionscript (I find the topic so daunting, I stutter even when I

write it!), I'm embarrassed to post my rather simple question, but I need

your help, so here goes:


I made a movie and left the default 12fps, 550 x 400 pixels.  It plays fine

when I play it at its default size, but when I play it in full screen mode,

it seems sluggish and choppy.  I increased the frame rate to 20 fps and it

played better (a little) in full screen mode, but was too fast at the

default size.  I want to turn this into a screen saver, so it will

ultimately have to play on different size monitors.  Does anyone have any

suggestions on how to get a consistent playback rate?


Also, generally speaking, I'm curious about the different factors that

influence frame rates. I mean, do you folks usually use a different frame

rate for something that is going to stream over the web vs. something that

will run on a single machine?  Are there other factors I should know about?


Thanks in advance for your help!
