tommyguns,

First of all, my average download rate is 7.8 kb/s. That is pretty avarage. At
that speed, your site took 17 seconds to download. The most anyone wants to
wait for an internet page is 20 seconds. So you're FLASH page isn't that slow!
The "avarage" Flash page built by the "avarage" end user take over 120 seconds
to download at that speed. You're page is actually very fast, you need to not
compare it to your Hard Drive speed of loading, but that of the spped of other
similar Flash creations on the web.

Oh, and your Flash presentation look really good too, nice job!

Regards

Thanks for the heads-up, but when I asked what's slowing down my animation, I
didn't mean loading times. My site originally include more elements, i.e. more
animation, use of alpha effects, and more design elements. My problem was and
still is that the speed of my animation isn't playing up to par. The animation
is jumpy at times. It's not what I'd expect at such a high frame rate. At
lower frame rates, the animation still jumps a bit, it just takes longer for it
to play out.

I'd like my site to take two minutes load, I wanna add more elements to the
page, but my experience has been that the more I add, the less smooth the
animation plays. What can I do to solve this delemma??? I'll take any and all
suggestions, Please!
