    I created a web site in Flash 4 on my pc. It tested beautifully when uploaded to the server and was viewed on the all of our PC's. However, when tested on the macs, the animations were very choppy and 3 times as slow. Not good. What is going on???

    We're quite annoyed by it at work, but we haven't been able to find the problem. It happens on all our Macs, G3s to G4s.

    Do the flash anims made on pc look ok on a mac if made in flash 3?

    Do the flash 4 anims made on a mac look ok on a pc?

    Is this a plugin problem(the latest and greatest mac plugin is broken) or a problem with flash4 and how it makes anims?

    (as you may have guessed, I don't own flash or a mac so I was just wondering)

    Apparently, the Mac plugin is nasty. I've checked anims made using various apps, and they all look a little nastier on my 8500 with Netscape 4.7. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img] It may be due to the whopping speed on my PC, compared to my Mac, but I doubt it. The anims don't look HORRIBLE on my Mac or anything, but they definitely look choppier, so it's not just you guys! I've checked even stuff done on Macs, for Macs, etc. Even they look smoother on PCs right now. [sigh]

    I don't know if MM has any technotes on the topic, but I'll keep looking. I'll post any information I find (if any).
