Okay, first of all, forgive me, for I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times before, but I didn’t quite find the thing I wanted with the search button.

Anyways, I’m planning on creating a full flash website with lots of effects, so what Framerate should I use?

Thanks

There is no ‘specific’ frame rate that your should use. It all depends on how fast you want your movie to play. But I guess you can use 25 fps. That usually goes very fast and smooth. Usually 12 fps is the best for internet, but 25 is faster. Just play around with the numbers and when the movie comes to a point where thats the exact speed you want, keep it like that.

I ALWAYS use 30 fps, 12 is too un-smooth, as in it plays very stoppishly. God i’m running out of adjectives!
