flash (macromedia):

1. When you publish your file, there is an option to create a file that
gives you a progressive look at your use of memory.

2. Perhaps your animation needs more pieces so it won't look choppy when the
server can't keep up with the framerate or bit (not byte) rate of the
sequencing. Typically the eye uses 24 frame/sec and animation can be done
at 12 frame/sec with a double up to fool the eye rate. So, your animation
will need 12 different frames per second at a minimum playback to be useful
online. If you can figure this out on your own computer at 12 fps, you will
probably have a hit, but you are just hiding the problem by advancing the
frame rate to 41 fps.

3. You are covering a large area with the hand pulling down the curtain.
If you do the pull in one second you need 12 pieces, if faster you need more
pieces. Maybe changning the drawing of the arm for each part of the pull
will help, maybe adding more pieces to the curtain will help....maybe your
are just stressing the limits of the online technology. Anyone familiar
with early1990s multimedia well remembers this problem as it related to TV
animation or CDs.

4. Ultimately you have to solve your own problem. It doesn't help to be
insulting because of your own frustration.

so tommyguns - yer post doesnt get answered within 4 hours and this is your
reaction? it's a sunday - most people dont spend it online helping you.
i searched the forum, found your 2 other threads concerning the poor playback
perfomrance - i checked out your url in question - i would like to see your FLA
- but of course, if you want to try flashkit - it's your call. just leave the
attitude at the sign-in page - there are plenty here that wont hesitate to add
you to their kill-filter with a reaction like that.

i'm here - zip and post the fla - or email it to me - sounds like 41fps is
just way too high for most CPUs to playback online. everymachine is different -
not all of them can playback 41fps - that's 41 frames in a single second -
that's pretty crazy. keep in mind the human eye cant see much beyond 30fps.

good luck

i found yer problem...
here's your code:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="index2.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=best> <PARAM
NAME=scale VALUE=noscale> <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent> <PARAM
NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000> <EMBED src="index2.swf" quality=best scale=noscale
wmode=transparent bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" NAME="index2"
ALIGN="top"
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>

notice the "<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent>"???
you have published your movie with transparency - this is whats causing the
poor playback performance.
edit your html 9remove it0 or check your Flash Publish Settings>HTML tab.

but of course - all this crap is *stupid* ;)

you right , i could not agree more.
You go first . Less to download and less to entertain for us.
Don't except posting your sh*t at 3 am according to my time zone and have it answered
2 and half hours later. Especially over weekend. You suck if you get so pissy
if your Free Support is not on time.
Go flashkit dude , i personally won't answer your questions here , with such attitude.
