My new mac--it's beautiful and I love it. Unfortunately, it seemed flash was still chugging along on a Dualie G5. I had been working on that old PC for all my flash stuff because, judging by watching my own live files on both platforms, it was faster. I finally downloaded the flash MX studio 2004 trial from Macromedia's site and the files absolutely BLAZE in the mac player. Much smoother than the old PC. Absolutely the way the files were intended to be seen. I was so happy.
Then I opened it in a browser.
Here is the issue: The disparity between the speed in the player and safari is INCREDIBLE. The same is true of IE. Can someone please explain? Why does the browser KILL the speed of the file? Is there anyway to avoid the change in speed?

Its been a problem (as far as I know) since before FP5. Alpha fades, and animations that make the player redraw large areas of space make it chug.
I also recall reading that never setting the fps above 28 should also help.
that was prolly useless for u. sorry, its 3am here

It's 3AM here too. :)
I dunno man--I don't think it's a problem with flash. I have a feeling it has more to do with the browsers because the disparity is ridiculous. The speed in the player and the speed in a published file aren't even comparable. I have no clue what the fuck to do--I mean, there is hope (given that djdieselboy.com runs fucking flawlessly on my mac). I just have no clue what to do though.

maybe perhaps...
your browsers are configured to use quicktime to play flash files?
