were currently working on a website, just modifying a couple minor things. But we get a problem with our swf files. When you view the site on some computers, the swf files play really choppy/sluggish and it seems as if it's really slow. were using swf object to embed the files. my computer is pretty fast and plays it with no problem. its just other computers. And those same computers play other swf files normally. has anyone had an issue like this before? Heres the link, i do appreciate the help!

You have no preloader...at least I didn't see one. It plays fine for me.

The flash player plugin is pretty CPU intensive, and if you have a lot of SWFs on a page it can slow your browser to a crawl - especially when scrolling. This is why I hate sIFR, get too many on a page and it makes the site annoying to use.

It isn't choppy here, but for gods sake replace those images for high resolution ones so you don't have to stretch them! It looks like you have taken them on a camera phone.

ok thanks! that could be a reasoning, but all those images are istock comps because they're not final yet. Don't worry we didn't design this either, we were just told to do minimal tweaking
