hey list --
Seems like i have been working around this for a while and figured that now
is the time to set it right. I have a continuous animation going on in in my
background (just a bunch of lines moving horizontally across the stage). I
have set this up in a pretty small repeat loop that operates fine... Until I
encounter quicktime or another function runs. When it hits the quicktime it
slows dramatically -- if i run another function it increases while
processing the function after the function it runs fine. We have abandoned
almost all continous background animations on previous cds because of this
(we have a lot of quicktime which is essential). So I have included my
script, but i don't really think that is the issue -- I think I am
approaching continous animations wrong as far as thought process. Any clues
-- thanks.
