I have a flash website which I tried to update recently. In particular, I am
updating my photo gallery which I load within another flash using loadMovie.
Before updating it, everything worked fine. The update is not completed yet,
but I notice that my photo gallery is playing extremely slow compared to
before. I did add some new graphics such as fading in and stuff like that, but
nothing serious. If I played the clip by itself, ie. typing in the actual
photogallery.swf, it plays at full speed. When I run the photogallery through
my regular website, meaning loading it through loadMovie, it plays very slow.
The photogallery.swf is only 58k in size, so download speed shouldn't be the
case. Nevertheless, I tried adding a IfFrameLoaded just in case but that didn't
solve my problem. Anybody has any ideas why it might be playing slow when I'm
using the loadmovie function and plays fine when I just reference it directly?

A loaded movie plays at the frame rate of the container it is loaded into,
not it's onw frame rate.

I have found the same problem. Movies using loadMovie are taking too long to
load for what their file size is. The frame rates match. In fact the HTML
version of the site that loads larger graphics actually loads quicker. Could it
be anything else?
