Does this flash bog down your processor?

first off, you have a slow computer (by todays standards) so a lot of things might be slow for you. :wink:

secondly, Flash is not fast. Despite its sharing a name with a very fast superhero, its generally “slow” in terms of processing and display performance. Flash 7 is faster, so I suggest getting that if you havent already, but in general, just by design and what its doing, Flash will be slow.

finally, based on what the example given is doing, moving large windows with text and transperancy, don’t expect speed. Thats asking for slowdown with that formula. Throw in a few long loops of script and you’ll easily cug the player and your computer. And Flash wont hesitate to use all your processor can dish out to try to get its movie to play.

So it is by no means abnormal for that site to play slow for you. Be happy if its even usable on your computer. :slight_smile:
