We built a project using Flash in Director and ran into the same problem. Making the Flash play direct to stage help a bit, but nothing compared to when you played Flash in browser or in the Flash player.
I wouldn't be surprised if Flash plays in Director in a Flash player emulator, in the same way as Windows in Virtual PC. Usable but much slower. The only other solution I know would be to limit your SWF to smaller dimensions. j. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Nick Youmans Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 8:28 AM To: Lingo Mailing List Subject: <lingo-l> very slow flash sprite in Director I sent this yesterday, but lingo-l was acting a little squirrelly & it didn't seem to through.
