I created this flash object, which preloads the file on the first frame before continuing to play, yet on slower machines it moves much slower then the 30 fps it is supposed to play at. The file is 1.2 MB in size. Using actionscript 3.

Can anyone take a look and tell me if they have the same problem, and why that might be?

Thanks!
