Hello everybody, I don't know if it's the right place to post a question like that... but...
Well, I have a G4 400 448RAM and some of my flash work shows up too slow on the screen, like, jumping and stuff... the movement is not nice... I thought my machine was strong enought to handle this kind of work... by the way, the Flash movies are not very heavy, let's say, some word zooming and moving around... any ideas?

I have the same setup. When I was fooling around with Flash, things seemed to zip along just fine.

What OS are you using? If it's OS9, check how much RAM you have allocated to whatever program you're using to run it.

The Flash player plug-in for the Mac is terrible. Ever tried scolling a flash movie ? It's been discussed to death on many design sites and no one has any really good answers.

Anyway - Tweening/animated text and alot of shapes at the same time will make your flash animation look choppy and seem to jump. This will also occur when if you tween bitmap images and text etc at the same time.

If you post a URL we could take a look and the problem with the particular flash piece.
