Chunky animation due to Dynamic text?

[Flash Gordon]

I designed this website here (http://www.modernmusicians.com/templates/test.html) modeled after another website that i like. But if you click on "About Ari" or "Press" or the sub menus you will see that the animation isn't very smooth. I was wondering if this was due to the amount of dynamically load text that i have. 5 differnent text boxes all dynamically load. Does this normally cause animation not to be smooth? Also, it hammers the CPU pretty good. Is that normal? 30 fps btw.
Thanks.

could be for several reasons, related to flash or the PC you are running it on, as it looks ok on mine

Flash
-if you are using a tween, try doing it programmatically
-if you are using onEnterFrame, try using setInterval, and use updateAfterEvent to force the player to recalculate the position of the main MC which is being moved up/down, this usually give a cleaner movement

problems with client PC
-slow graphics card
-lack of memory to handle the graphics rendering
