Flash player in browser slow

[nubz]

Hi

Hopefully someone can let me know what's going on here.

I have a small snowball throwing game I am making, I use setInterval to control all motion - when I preview from Flash in the local player it throws like a bullet when I opt for highest velocity and nice'n'slow when i opt for lowest - when I look at the same 9kb movie in Firefox or IE7 FP9 it is extreeeemely slow and sluggish - anything I should know??

anyone?

it's driving me nuts - I really don't want to use onEnterFrame() - it's not even like I am running simultaneous setIntervals they are all running on their own one at a time - e.g. (simplified a bit but the set interval is within another function called after each throw)

function rotateArm()
{
	if(armDir=="right"){
		if(_root.arm._rotation<30){
			
			_root.arm._rotation+=1;
		} else {
			armDir="left";
		}
	} else {
		if(_root.arm._rotation>-30){
			_root.arm._rotation-=1;
		} else {
			armDir="right";
		}
	}
	updateAfterEvent();
	
}

sideways=setInterval(rotateArm,4);

as usual with these things the fault was in my code - updateAfterEvent() was not being called within every interval based method......
