>what frame rate do you recommend?

if by old you mean as long ago as a 486, you'll likely get a little less than

10 fps with next to no animation happening. average with real stuff going on

is somewhere around 5 or 6. the best way to choose a frame rate is to add the

moock fps speedometer to your movie, then play your movie back on the slowest

machine you anticipate your users having, then record the fps readout for the

heaviest animation section. set your movie fps to that setting. might be

alarmingly low, but you'll guarantee the same playback on all machines. if

you set the fps higher, you'll get slow playback on old machines and faster

playback on new ones.
