need to be very careful producing Flash 5 swfs.
onClipEvent(onEnterFrame) is notorious for clogging up the CPU so you
need to make sure whoever did the swf knows all the flash 5 tricks
techniques etc to produce an efficient processor friendly swf. I
imagine that someone who doesnt have flash 5 experience could easily run
into problems...
If the flash 7 version is a hog aswell then flash 5 is obviously not the
issue. Its difficult to say more without knowing the nature of the
animation.
probable clean ups would be:
replace alpha fades with colour fades
setQuality dynamically (might not be appropriate)
use flash 4 syntax (ie. setProperty)
frame loops over onEnterFrame
if its a big project u may be able to justify paying someone to optimise
it using flasm
use rounded numbers for object placement
dont use shapetweens
cheers
