Likely could be either of two things:


--  Realtime vector rendering won't automatically go faster in Director...

you'll still see Flash-like frame rates when rendering Flash sprites in

Director.


--  There's also a potential slowdown issue in D702/Win32... if you're

repeatedly creating and destroying Flash sprites then things can slow down,

with the number of creations varying with individual machines. A revised

Flash Asset Xtra for Windows will be on the website soon, but you can use

the one in your Shockwave 7.02 Player now if you wish.


Note also that very high frame rates in Director can actually work against

you when trying to incorporate external renderers... for instance,

QuickTime and other sources get more idle cycles for play if you set a

*low* framerate in Director.
