Flash animations slow/jerky in IE

Content
1

Hello,

I’ve been searching google for tips to keep flash animations running smoothly, but couldn’t find too much info.

I have an animation that runs perfectly in Firefox, but is slow and a little jerky in IE … and if I run IE through VMWare Fusion (software for a Mac that allows you to boot up windows in a seperate window), the flash animation plays at a crawl (basically, I have to restart in windows to test properly). What’s going on here? It uses some filters and alpha transparency, but it’s nothing too bad.

Any tips?

can you post a link to the animation or fla?

I have the same issue as you and I was also searching for an answer. Did anyone ever have an answer?

function animate():Void {
	
	switch (mcCircle._y)
	{
		case 100:
			if (mcCircle._height != 250)
			{
				mcCircle._height++;
				mcCircle._width = mcCircle._height;
			}
			else
			{
				tBoom._visible = true;
			}
			break;
		default:
			mcCircle._x++;
			mcCircle._y++;		
	}
	
	mcCircle._alpha++;
	
	updateAfterEvent();
}
tBoom._visible = false;
mcCircle._x = 0;
mcCircle._y = 0;
mcCircle._alpha = 0;

var nInterval:Number = setInterval(animate, 10);
