two things, someone please tell me they have some contact at macromedia that can confirm them EVER making new flash plugins and shockwave plugins?

second of all. Anyone have any little trick to squeeze out higher framerates from a flash movie? I'm working on a project where the background is scrolling text (up and down) and the forground is a horizontal scrolling series of pictures and information, and good god if the framerates aren't around 3 fps... no joke. its disgusting.


help?

At the moment, nobody has any hard info on a new flash or shockwave plug-in. They don't even have a shockwave player for X yet. I'm not sure if this is your problem but framerates go down jurastically if you have the flash player application open and you are playing a flash movie in explorer. You have to either exit explorer or the Flash Player. I'm a flash developer too and I can't stand crap framerates on my mac either. hope this helps.

One tip: Try using a framerate of 15, 21, or 31 FPS.
There is a quirk with the flash player that jumps the playback at these increments (and maybe others). For example, a movie at 30 FPS won't play much faster than one at 21 but bump it to 31 and you'll see the difference.
Those are the only 3 I use anymore.

They need to optimize this so that the framerates are faster and accurate. It doesn't make sense sometimes.
