Re: FLASH: flash 5 player too fast

[John Dowdell]

If you see a synch difference with this player, then that implies that you

would have seen a similar problem with newer and faster computers too.


Recap: The framerate in Flash and Director is a top limit, not a target.

QuickTime and other video formats will drop frames to maintain your target

rate. The event-based animation formats will not drop frames -- you're

guaranteed each frame will still display -- but they'll drop time if the

display is too taxing for the current computer.


Tip: You can synch reliably by specifying a framerate that all your target

delivery machines can meet. (You can also uses streaming sound in the Flash

Player to force it to drop visual frames if needed.)
