recently I did a movie which had a maximum frame rate of 25 due to server restrictions. I wanted to animate something slowly but smoothly so used setInterval and updateAfterEvent to get the effect. But for some reason the sever wouldnt allow it and I was told it was because setInterval pushed the frame rate above the restriction.

I cant find documentation for this specific point, can anyone enlighten me on this.

thanks
