Hi,

How can I control the playback speed of an E-card that will be saved on a website? I want it to play at a certain rate on different people's computers--basically just want to make sure it won't play too fast or too slow--anywhere in the middle will be fine. Can I control this somehow?

I created an e-card going 6fps. When I uploaded this .swf file to my website, it played at lightning speed. Maybe this is because I have broadband access. Any advice on getting a middle of the road speed for this on everyone's computer?

Thanks a lot in advance. : ) Much appreciated.

I'd just stick to the standard 12fps, although at most pc's today 20fps
should create no problems unless you're having some really processor
intensive animations going on (bitmaps fading/moving etc.). I do most of my
movies today at 25fps and have never heard any complaints sofar. Anyway: fps
can not be set dynamically; only through workaround using setInterval()
method. I don't think it's worth the hassle. Fps is max speed at which movie
plays, so it will never exceed; so if it runs as intended at 6fps, stick to
it.

John
