Hi there,

Thanks for reading.

I’ve been searching for quite a while now on a few different sites for information on testing the cpu speed of users computers. I’ve done this search before about a month ago and remember fidning something about this. Problem is, now I can’t seem to find anything. The reason I need to know is because I have an MC on my stage which is using actionscript to animate but on older computers with slow cpu’s all the animation slows down terribly. I would like to be able to test cpu speed and redirect to a different page based on cpu speed.

Does anyone know how to do this or know of a good tutorial about this?

Thanks in advance for your help,
