It actually depends on the monitor or screen you're running your movie. In my case, my monitor's refresh rate is at 60Hz, so anything over 60fps will not make it any smoother. If you're running at a TV with a refresh rate of 25Hz, then anything over 25fps is useless. Actually, a small testing program (glxgears) issues 2694fps in my machine, however if I enable "sync to vblank" in my video card - that is, making graphic applications refresh at the same rate as my monitor - the same program running at 60fps looks indeed smoother than at 2694fps (because you can't divide 2694 by 60 and get an integer, meaning that eventually the rendering engine will have to delay or advance a frame, so I don't get a blank). _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
