I created a really simple Flash movie. I placed a bitmap on the stage and wrote a short action script to move it from one point to an other. Surprisingly even this simple animation was jerky. Why didn’t I try this earlier??? This could have saved me a lot of time. In the last week I rewrote the animation part of the Flash viewer several times hoping to gain a performance boast.

So what does that mean?

1) I’m very frustrated.
2) I’m not sure if I should continue development of the Flash Viewer.
3) I need a holiday :-)
