Hi,

A friend and myself are currently working on a site for our business. It's not finished, but we wanted to get some Flash on the homepage. After roughly doing this and uploading it, it's jerky and all over the place when you view it in the browser. Really at a loss when it comes to fixing it as neither of us have any in depth knowledge of it.

If anyone could take a look it's at www.forefrontcleaning.co.uk, and it's just the Flash bit on the main page. The text shifts every which way, as does the blue box, and some of the pictures are playing up also, especially the first one.

Could anyone advise on how to sort it?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried increasing the number of frames per second(fps)??

Thats the only thing I can recall causing that effect when I played around with flash, only thing to remember is you might need to move the effects along in the timeline to make them last the appropriate time.

Looking at it though I reckon you could easily use jquery to get the same effect and in my opinion would be easier to maintain in the long run, cos I always struggled to to keep a flash site up to date.

Keep us updated with everything

Thanks for the reply.

We've tried increasing the frame rate, but that's all we've tried. The animation obviously looked a lot quicker and smoother, but the problem with the shifting blue box and text remained the same.

I've got to say, I've never heard of jQuery, but we're more than willing to give it a go if it's likely to work well for us. Is it freeware? Easy to use or tough to get to grips with?
 
Will it require us to create the images with the blue box/text separately in Photoshop or something rather than doing it all through Flash?

If so, I can be getting on with that tonight?
