Hi Dave,
Probably the best guideline to use for frame rate is the capacity of
your end users' machines, that and the fact that the Stage.frameRate
setting is a speed limit, not a guarantee. The processor capacity and
the complexity of your swf in terms of processor usage (calculations,
redraws, etc.) will determine what speed is actually reached. If you are
doing a lot of animation, you'll want a reliable frame rate for your
intended users. If you're doing forms only, frame rate is nearly irrelevant.
15 fps is reliable for most programs running on all but the slowest
machines.
30 fps is reliable on most modern machines.
If your program is fairly easy on the processor and your expected users
have faster machines, 60+ is probably ok, but you may want to allow for
the cases where that speed is not possible.
Bottom line is, you're going to have to find your own balance in how
much "cool" your users can afford.
hth,
Bob

Are there any general guidelines about what frame rate to use when
publishing an swf?
Also, are there any techniques for adjusting the frame rate of an swf at
runtime?
