Use the frame rate setting to limit the speed. Use testing on slower 

machines to learn to make your Flash play fast enough on slower machines 

(be sure to test on cheaper graphic display cards as well as slower CPU 

speeds). Use Bandwidth Profiler and Size Report to construct your Flash so 

it streams smoothly over the Web at modem speeds. There is a lot to learn 

about Flash, much more than just applying cool effects. It seems simple at 

first. It isn't. Try keeping your effects simple, it will help reduce the 

frustration factor. Then you can add complexity and discover what you can 

get away with.
