I am using a typical onEnterFrame function to move a movieclip from right to left across the screen. (I have tried this using a simple \_x coordinate shift as well as an easing algorithm).

In both cases, the movement is pretty smooth at high bandwidth speeds, but on slower download speeds, the movement is VERY jerky.

\*\*\_root.myMC.onEnterFrame= function(){

if(\_root.myMC.\_x \> 0){  
\_root.myMC -= 10;  
}

};\*\*

Has anyone a solution to this?
