Loading swf's with different framerates

[JoElAtHaN]

Hi all,

I have a loaded swf that has a different frame rate than my main movie. Does this take up more processing power? The reason I ask is because the main movie seems to slow down when its loaded.

Thanks in advance for your help!

the external movie would adopt the main movie's framerate

if the main movie slows down its because you have something processor intensive going on in the external movie

Thanks for your help BT,

The loaded SWF is actually a slightly modified version of Moock's scrollable graphics: http://www.moock.org/asdg/codedepot/interface-widgets/simpleScrollButtons.fla

When I debug, and let the clip sit idle (dont scroll the graphics) There does not seem to be anything calculating. What is the processing hog here? :confused:

well I've noticed that even lots of static text can use up a lot of processor...but then I'm on a mac and everything runs like ****

Hmmm... Well after reading this thread:

I guess my best bet is to stop unecessary animations and the like on my main movie.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated!
