Rich:
Thanks for your comments.
I'm doing the same thing: Lots of single-frame flash stuff instead of
bitmaps, for the same reasons-looks good, scalable, &c.
Something that worked for me:
Try looking into the member.static (or static of member) property.
It seems that single-frame .swf members take up alot of processor
attention even when "paused" in the castmember properties dialogue.
But using showProps member("myFlashMember") in the messageWindow reveals
a lot of stuff you can set with Lingo- including setting the STATIC
property. Setting it to TRUE really takes a load off your machine's
mind. The default is FALSE.
Don't know how it fits with downloading on the fly, but you should be
able to set static after download.
If you want to run a flash animation, just remember to set static to
FALSE.
