video w/ actionscripted movement causes slowdown

[Gostop01]

An example of this is that I have video imported onto a movieclip's timeline that plays on rollover. I also have constantlly moving buttons that move via actionscript. Whenever the video plays it and everything else go into slow-motion (about 70% normal speed).

This also happens other times whenever I have motion tweens going on during these actionscripted moving buttons.

Do I have to live with this or is there something I can do??

Um... Sound like all the CPU intensive actions that bogs down the computer... Maybe there are some excessive scripts in your movement that are not really necessary??? I don't know whereelse to look for if I have that happening on my movie...

PS> Do you play Gostop alot??? :D

It is really important when you put together a animated movie to try to limit the amount of concurrent animation (i.e. more than one or two animations at a time).

As a general design practice it is a really good idea to take out any animation that doesn't really add to your piece. I would suggest killing the animated buttons, or at the very least have them animate only on mouse over. Sounds like it might be some pretty complex animation.

Good Luck.
