My experience a couple of months ago when creating a racing game was that there seems to be some kind o frame rate capping.
Whatever computer I tried my game on, I got approximately 20 fpt when I ran the game in a browser. With the standalone player I could easily play the same game with frame rates of 90 fps on some computers. Possibly they crippled the browser player in order to prevent computers to bog down completely on sites with lots of flash-based banners but this poor browser performance does make flash quite bad for action based games. Shockwave on the contrary have no performance issues, but then again it gladly hogs 99% of the processing power... /David -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
