Subject: RE: FLASH: What are the basic levels of FPS? (frames per second)
From: David Giannetto

hi all,
is it wrong to look at FPS as how fast the movie will play?
if I want a lot of detailed movement in the movie then I need a
lot of frames to change the path of the moving object, so now
the movie is very long because I have a lot of frames, so I have to
speed up the FPS to get it to play at the speed I want.

is this ok thinking?
thanks
Dave
