FLASH: A frustrating problem

[Karin Christensen]

I wonder if one of you kind people could help.  I posted yesterday

about the possibility of having too many MCs slowing things down and

stopping the background sound.  I trimmed this thing down to the bare

bones and am still having problems.  So I uploaded it and looked at it

with another computer and it worked perfectly.  I have a pentium 200

with 32 megs of ram and plenty of space on my hard drive, win/95.  I

looked at it with a friend's  AMD300 (I think) computer with

everything else more or less the same and it was fast and smooth.


Could someone with a slow, old computer like mine look at it and see

if it runs smoothly before I go spend more money on another upgrade.

The main thing you will notice is the background sound will die out at

the end looping animation (with the lines and blue object) and things

will move slowly and jerkily.


This is on an edu server so hopefully the MIME police won't have a

problem.  This is Flash 3.

ps I also have another question which you may notice on it.  How come

if you set the movie to 100% size with the show all default, things

that are offstage show up?  Is there a way to stop that from

happening?

and if you feel like it, my polished Flash project is up and running

on my client's site --  which will probably look a whole lot better on

someone else's computer.  sigh...
