hi Eriq,


This is more than an issue of window size; it has to do with how many

pixels are changing at any given time, and what the processor has to do to

display those changes. Some transitions (alpha tweens, for example) take a

bigger hit on processor speed than others.  Using symbols and optimizing

your shapes will make things work faster and smoother.  If you can post a

URL it would be easier to make concrete suggestions. The ultimate test is

to try it on different machines with different CPUs and video processors.
