The fact of the matter is, running at a higher frame rate makes things look smoother. Period, end of statement. No, in most cases, yes, but performace on some machines can actually cause it to drop frames and look even choppier than a lower framerate. It all depends on what kind of animation

I've only had a chance to glance at this thread, but it seems that most of the replies are leaning this way. I agree with what appears to be the majority sentiment, expressed most recently by Jason. Many things will cause performance to suffer with a higher frame rate. Injudicious use of bitmap

Depends on the browser. Different browsers choke plugins in different ways. Two links: http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com/2008/04/off-bubblemark.html http://www.kaourantin.net/2006/05/frame-rates-in-flash-player.html Film is at 24fps... Disney animation, so compelling, was two-up, or twelve

Hi, The thing is, when you set a FPS value, you're setting an upper limit. It's like telling the player not to play more than n frames per second. But the actual frame rate depends on the available resources. If you're doing something rather processor intensive, the player is likely to start

Ok, I might be wrong about the smothness, I just don't seen any difference, but that can be subjective. However, using a higher frame rate does put more burden on the rendering routines, so if you already have a problem with frames being dropped, it will only get worse by incrementing de FPS.
