seems like plenty of power.
what dpi are your images? basically, flash is not a video editing app -
so working with large images such as this can bog down the tool - try
setting your level of undos to a lower number than the default 100 -
this sometimes helps. Work locally if you are working from a network
drive and if you have a 2nd hard drive on your machine, save and work
from the hard drive your OS and programs are not installed on.
Also - do a system maintenance cleaning - like clean disk and defrag and
stuff like that - if you havent in a long time this can make a hug
difference.

My level of undo's was set to 1000 lol, I changed it to 10, am working from a
second drive but its still doing it :(. Im gonna try defragging, I'm gueessing
the windows drive would be the one to defrag.
Thanks for the reply, I'll let you know how i got on :).
Ah that must be it then.
I created my movie in MX 2004 and exported it to MX so I could edit it at uni.
Then I carried on editing in MX 2004. Thats a shame, I'll have to try and play
about with the movie (save as MX., back to MX 2004 etc.).
Well thanks for your help and like the name :P.
I has been quite a while since I had those problems. They were so bad, in fact,
that I had to abandon files and recreate them in MX 2004 from scratch but, if I
remember correctly, if I hid layers that I was not actively working on at the
time, it made a significant improvement in performance.
