Slow movie

Here is what I have so far. I have a main page where on the last frame the action is _root.contents.loadMovie(“2ndmov.swf”);

and on the top of my main page I have buttons. When you click on say bio button the action is _root.contents.loadMovie(“bio.swf”);

which loads smoothly. My problem is on the bio page, i have another button with the action

on (release) {
loadMovieNum(“about.swf”, 2);
}

The movie goes on top of everything but the movement of the animation that I have on the about.swf is slow. I have a preloader on everypage and set the fps to 24 on everypage. Why is it still slow??

is the fps on the loaded movie the same frame rate as the movie you’re loading it on? the fps of whatever movie you load onto another will always match the main one.

example:
movie 1 is 24 fps.
movie 2 is 30 fps.

if you load movie 1 onto movie 2, the speed at which movie 1 plays on 2 will be 30 fps.

the reverse is true…

if you load movie 2 into movie 1, it will play slower than by itself. (30 fps -> 24 fps)

All of the movies I have set are to 24 fps

The more symbols or objects you have on stage, the more processor intensive it will be especially when you have an animation running on top of other objects.

Try to remove objects that aren’t seen when about.swf on stage. Using things like blank keyframes or unloadMovieClip(); will remove objects when they’re not needed.
