Hi,

I have a main interface which loads up a series of animated .swfs, one after the other into an empty movie clip, under a mask layer on my main timeline.

My problem is with the loaded swfs running really slowly. Without them being loaded into the interface, they run fine, as I have tested them online. But once they are within the interface, they run really slowly, especially when the redraw regions are biggest.

I’m just using

loadMovie(“FirstMovie.swf”, “\_root.empty\_mc”);

In my main timeline to load the first movie, then

this.loadMovie(“SecondMovie.swf”);

…on the final frame of the first movie, and so on.

As you can see, I havent put any numbers or channels in, as I’m not sure how they work. Could this be why my swfs are running so slow? Please help if you can, cheers.
