Dave… thats a good question. I really have no clue why 24, its just an easy to remember number. No one said you HAVE to use 24, it’s just common.

And it doesn’t matter either way because on a Mac it will only display as 21 fps. For Macs it jumps between 11, 21, and 31. So anything between 11 and 20 is 11 fps, anything between 21 and 30 is at 21 fps, etc, etc. Or something like that.

It’s a weird bug that existed in Flash 5, and I don’t think they fixed that issue yet, but I am not too sure.
