RE: [SPAM] RE: [flexcoders] Re: Make Flex AIR app demand more system resources
I am running normally at 15, and going up to 24 actually looks worse at times, with multiple interim images visible at once, instead of just a stutter. I will continue to experiment, maybe going up to something crazy like 70.

Actually, we are not finding the AIR app to be unreasonably resource hungry. Yes, I am using the papervision cube to navigate between forms, and the animation is not always smooth(sometimes it is). However, the os memory monitor indicates that the air app is not taking the resources it has available at that moment. I will try your suggestion of running something in an enterFrame handler.
