Can you please check the link bellow: [http://www.tempotech.ca/test/2/](http://www.tempotech.ca/test/2/) - as you can see animation is jumpy/jittery but when I remove materials I get nice smooth animation: [http://www.tempotech.ca/test/1/](http://www.tempotech.ca/test/1/) do you have idea why is this happening??? Material is simple 150x150 pixel jpg image. ---

Have you tried it with less blocks? I’d say it’s just too much for the flash player to handle. Does moving the camera backwards (so everything is smaller) make a difference? ---

Maybe the textures are huge bitmaps like 2000 x 2000 ? ---

I have turned smoothing off, now it works perfectly.
