hi there. as part of my uni project i am creating a simple sequencer in flash but i have a problem.

i have followed this tutorial - [http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-build-a-rebirth-style-sequencer-with-actionscript-260731/view/](http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-build-a-rebirth-style-sequencer-with-actionscript-260731/view/)

everything works as is supposed to but i feel its a bit glitchy

here is my fla file so you can see what i mean - [http://eighty6.co.uk/random/sequencer.fla](http://eighty6.co.uk/random/sequencer.fla)

basically, if you preview movie or save movie as swf, you will notice the more sounds you add in the more ‘laggy’ it becomes and it begins to miss beats and/or mess the rhythm up. I dont really understand why its doing this can anyone help? I thought flash was supposed to be powerful, surely it can handle a couple of wav’s? There are many sequencers out there that work perfectly, is there something in the fla thats lagging this? can anyone please help me i dont want to carry on working with this if the problem cant be fixed.

does anyone know any other tutorials/source files for flash sequencers?

thanks for reading :blah:
