FLASH: swf file stop playing

[c pm]

I think you're right. I load the html on another faster computer, both swf 

are playing perfectly. However, if i use an animated gif in place of the swf 

file, it played all right. now 2 questions:


i) Does it mean that the low end user will not able to see the swf file 

playing but a static image? (However, if i turn the 2nd swf file to 

autohigh, both played perfectly except some jaged text)


ii)Do u suggest to replace the swf file with the animated gif (the swf file 

is 11K compared to 141k for the animated gif)


Lastly, i forget to mention that my testing is on local computer i.e i did 

not upload it to the server and test the site instead i preview my html in 

my local computer browser. Does this affect the performance ?


Many thanks in advanced

Possibly because a swf file of 11k, if reasonably well-optimized and making

use of symbols, can contain significantly more animation (more complexity

of changes over a given period of time) than an animated gif. Try exporting

your .swf's to animated .gifs and see if they play any better :-). I'm

pretty sure that the problem you are having is a processor limitation, not

a Flash limitation. Of course John C. is right -- a URL would be more

helpful than speculation.
