loadMovie / onClipEvent(enterFrame) / FPS Issues

[Danger Madcow]

I'm building a flash movie that has three levels of loadMovies happening. Movie A loads movie B, which in turn loads movie C. A and B are more or less shells containing mostly actionscript and framing elements. Movie C has a fair amount of animation happening at 19fps.

When played by itself or loaded into B, movie C plays perfectly. However when C plays inside of B inside of A, it slows to a crawl.

Now I'm wondering if the culprit are five movieclips in A that all contain onClipEvent(enterFrame) actions. Is this constantly looping code indeed the probably cause of the slowdown? Any way around this?

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure that when you load a movie into another movie, the second movie will adopt the first movie's attributes (i.e. frame rate).

So try setting the frame rate of movie A and B to the rate you want C to play. See if that speeds it up.

All three movies are set to 19 fps, yet the slowdown is still occurring. Thanks, though.
