Author why is my animation slow?

I made a short animation, (about 900k) and published as an html file and posted it on my site.

But its slow. then i tried a preloader. Still no change.

Is there something im missing?

You can see what im talking about at http://www.braingrenade.com/inprogress_test2.html

(FYI - that version is the one without a preloader)


thanks for any help

looks like it is playing each frame as it loads.
If you wait for the slow version to finish, the second time round it is much faster.

I guess, make your preloader wait until the whole (or most of) the movie is loaded until pressing play().
Put at stop() at frame 1 !

U don't have to do any of these, just use the frame loaded command, and play
the animation when all frames are loaded, but since this file is waaay too
BIG, I suggest using a preloader, and I have a good feeling that you are a
n00b in flash so here goes:
