Slowing down?

1

Very strange…
When I run my flash-movie in .swf format it runs at the framerate I entered in the document properties (40 fps). When I run the HTML file the swf is embedded in, the framerate seems to have dropped to a lower number (something like 25fps) . How come ?

because the computer is slow… you need a good computer to run it at 40 fps. Plus, 40 fps is an insane fps… you shouldn’t go more than 25…

But at 25 fps it seems very hard to make super-smooth and at the same time fast transitions (or animation in general).

So the html page takes so much CPU power that my framerate drops so dramatically? Just running the swf without the html page works nice.

I think lots of people use framerates higher than 25 nowadays…

trust me, they’re not… Flash experts say that the best frame rate is 24. And if you ask anyone else in this forum, they’ll tell you 40 fps is crazy…

I use 40fps standard, and I never go below. How large is the
swf? My gradient moves I use on slower machines drag a lot at
that particular point as well. It’s just cpu intensive.

On another note, I’ve run into this because the preloader
wouldn’t be doing it’s job, and letting the movie go before it’s
truly PRE-loaded.

its 133 kbytes big. But other stuff is loaded immediately into the main movie.

i usually stick with 30fps for smooth animations. but i do agree with u there. animations play a lil bit faster when testing it from flash and not on a HTML page
