Hello everyone once again!

Boon here with a computer/flash question/problem…?

I’m using Vista Ultimate 64 with 4 gigs of RAM and a 500 Gig Hard Drive with a 8800 NVidia card … (for the major specs to cover etc.)

(oh and with a AMD processor)

Anyways, I’m having a large issue with Flash that is becoming more and more annoying.

Everytime I try and do anything with a text box in flash … it seems to kill my PC and it really starts to lag when I try and move the cursor through the timeline on the main movie etc. (just to do a sample test of an animation etc.) … any ideas as to why this is happening?

thanks!

Boon. :thumb:

Do you have Flash Player 10 Beta installed (if so make sure you have the 2nd beta).

Not sure … but I don’t see how the player could cause this … since I’m not testing it in the player … but just on stage by moving the head across the timeline etc. (does that make sense?)

Oh sorry I misunderstood you. I didn’t realize you were were talking about Flash CS3.

So no ideas as to why it seems like whenever I’m working with text in flash - it seems to really lag up the Flash workspace?
