Does a fast frame rate make for smoother motion? If so, does a faster frame rate burden slower PCs? Finally, if both of these are true, what is a happy medium for frame rate? Thanks!

Yes, I have found that a fast frame rate really plays slower on slower PCs. My PC plays the frame rate justa bit slower than what it should be. I showed my bud my site on his comp, which is next to a POS, and he got like 10 frames per second, and probably less. So i think it mainly has to do with the size of the movie and the speed of the users computer (and of course, ultamitely, the servers speed on the d/l.)

Yeah, that's what I figured. I was hoping to push 32 FPS but i guess that's asking too much. Bandwith is no problem as our "captive audience" is on a "big pipe" but some people only have P3s (400 Mhz).
So, to those looking, what is a good frame rate to use for wide audience? Should I stick with the default (15, I believe it is)?

The human eye cannot percieve more then 24 fps
Frames per second in swf format is relative not actual.
It's more of a frame rate speed limit then an actual speed.
Faster running movies will just run at whatever rate the computer can handle.
12-16 fps is the standard range.
Personally I like 16 fps the movement isn't as jerky.
However if I'm not running text animation I'll set it at 12 or lower because I don't need the extra frames. usually the slower the frame rate (In My Humble Opinion) gices sharper detail to the images/text)

Tks, Frets! Well, drat...hehe. Is 16 FPS noticeable over 15 FPS? Seems like a small diff. And if I go to 18 or 20, then the PC will determine if it actually plays at that speed, right?
-
Yes, the PC will only play at what it can handle.

Not always.
If you have a small swf with a streamed signal that you load movie into another that is already downloaded and properly preloaded. you can fix the rate of the movie to stay at a specific frame rate.
The sound thread covers that rather well.
Look at Cadences fotter and follow the trail.
