problems with 2 swfs at once...

[ajobe]

I have 2 swfs playing at once. One is the navigation which has a small animation (just button movement up 4 pixels) on rollover. The other is a continuously playing video that loops through 7 bitmaps.

I am having trouble on slower machinges with the navigation tabs slowing down the replay of the animation when they are rolled over. Is there any thing I can so to prevent this or to better optimize my files?

The navigation animation is occuring with actionscript tweens and is all vector.

Apart from this specific case, it seems as though I am unable to have more than one animation occuring at a time, as I have had trouble with some other situations in the same project. I have found a way to alter my design to avoid this for other scenarios. Is this a common problem that flash is very CPU intensive?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!!

As an update to this battle. It now looks like the problem is related to Firefox and slower machines.

On my big computer, all is good, but on my slow computer it looks great in IE, but not in FF.

Also, the problem seems to be related to the fact that I have an iframe in that page. the browser appears ot have trouble focusing on the main page and the iframe and it is causing the flash elements to not run smoothly.

Has anyone seen anything else of this sort before?
