I was wondering if increasing the framerate in a flash movie will make the movie lag on slower computers...
im working on a flash that is currently set to 30fps , id like to up it to say 40 -45 , because i need to do some smooth and quick animation. Currently at 30 fps , the flash runs "ok" on average computer except on mac , mac lags a little , but i was wondering , if i change de fps from 30 to 45 , will this make the flash lag even more on mac , or on slower computer in general that wont be able to handle it ...
logicaly i would think not, i would think that its only going to go as fast as it can , so if u have a slow computer only able to go at 30 fps , well its going to go at that speed...

Instead of raising the framerate you could decrease the time between the distance/alpha tweenings of the animations. It would look faster using the same 30fps (or less) rate.

weird thing about flash on a mac.. set it to something like 31, 41, 51, 61, etc... cause "in theory" it'll play at 31 on a pc, and 30 on a mac.. it's a weird quirk, but it seems to be true.

right now its set a 30 , and on mac it plays like 15 , and mac os x is worst than mac os9 , also , camino is fucking weird at loading flash , and , safari works best so fat , worst case is IE on Mac OSX ... tested on a G4 ... and it sucked ass .. i had to add a "preference" setting where u can change the quality to medium low high ... geez .. , windows and linux run it without problem ...

also, past a certain fps, your eye cant detect the change.
also, most comps cant play flash at 60 fps or w/e, cause they just lag that shit down to 30 or worse... 18.2 or whateverthefuck....
when you play your movie in your browser, you can see that.... ie, the fps its currently playing at. a simple tween, or w/e will have close to what you set it, where as joshdavis' shit will crap that fps to 2.2 fps...
(lots of layers of alpha-d shit and scaling and shit will do that)
:) hope that helps...

Well film and animation plays at 24 or 25 FPS, surely you wouldn't need to go higher than that?
Plus you get smaller file sizes at lower FPS which helps the computer run it more smoothly.

well film play at 24 fps because there refresh rate is much lower than a computer...
try playing a shooter game at

sorry , dunno what happened... try playing a shooter at 24fps , you CLEARLY see the difference between 24 and 60-100fps .
