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

[Robbert - Jan]

Do you use large (in dimension) bitmap pictures in your movie?

Do you use lots of alpha faded layers above each other?

Do you have a lot of layers on screen at the same time that do a lot of

tween animation?


if the answer is yes to one or more of the above, then that's the beginning

of your problem.

This slows down the flashplayer extremely.
