FLASH: Draggable Crosshair Problems

[oneflashtwelve]

Hi list...

I have a problem...

I am working on a site:

www.purgemusic.com


It's a real quick job for a friend's band - a label rep from Loud records is

checking the band and the site out tomorrow....

The problem...

I've made a "crosshair" that follows the mouse ala the "Drag Movie Clip"

funtion:


Start Drag ("/chair", lockcenter)


But - it seems that it hogs WAY too much processor power than it should.

Anything 266 or below (or sometimes above) and the clip JUMPS and generally

causes the movie to slow down.


Any solutions?


The clip is made up of 2 long lines and a square - that shouldn't be THAT

processor intensive, should it? The movie itself (so far) is only 30kb!!!!!

I don't understand.

As well... does the background image look too dark to you? (it's fine on my

monitor, but I have a faboo new dell 17")
