frame rates

[ice78991]

I'm doing a complex animation and my animation is very chunky. I'm moving large jpgs around the screen calculating different ._x and ._y values

At a frame rate of 24 fps its too chunky . At the moment I'm using 64fps and it's fine but am I locking a lot of users out with this speed?

That is a very high frame rate for a flash animation. Considering that standard video is 29.97 fps, a file running at 64 fps is overkill. You will lock out a lot of users. Are your jpgs in the library or are they externally loaded?

The jpgs are externally loaded. Does this make a difference?

Try loading them into the library, then they will be loaded with the .swf instead of it having to pull in the files to reduce the chunkyness perhaps?
