Re: FLASH: Frame Rates: Different Size Window, Different Speeds???

[Gregg Caines]

A lot of tweens (especially shape tweens) or a lot of 'alpha' changes can

really

slow a movie to a crawl.  If you over-populate the stage with movie-clips or

massive amounts of text it can slow things down too.


These are the biggest culprits.
