why is it that my swf's look faster than my animation when i play on flash?

it looks fast on the swf and when i click test movie
but when i press enter to run through it
it seems a bit slower
thats why my animation needs to be eased more cuz i usually never test my anim and it looks faster on the swf
anyway to make playing though the animation the same speed as the swf?
cuz im to lazy to just go through contorl and then click test movie when i cna just play enter and it plays

My guess is that Flash is experiencing lag of some sort...but I'm not entirely sure.

Try pimp-slapping it.

tryed that
didnt work

lmao don't resort to 'enter' to literally watch your animations. Always test movie because playing it on enter is literally going through the timeline, which is laggy and you wont see ur stuff right.

so, solution: hold CTRL before holding ENTER

Yeah, Edyrems right, but here are other shortcuts ull need to learn by heart

JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT

next frame >
Prev frame <
CTRL+S Save
CTRL+ENTER = Play
CTRL+Z = Undo
CTRL+Y = Redo
CTRL+A =Select all
CTRL+C = Copy
CTRL+X = Cut
CTRL+V = Past
HOLD ALT = Duplicate
B = brush
H = Hand
Forgot pain bucket one o.o even though i use it alot
CTRL + ZOOM IN
CTR: - ZOOM OUT
SHIFT + Resize= semetrical
those are the ones i know by heart, they do help alot o.o

Other epic shortcuts, especially if you get quick at them:
CTRL + SPACE + CLICK = Zoom in
CTRL + SPACE + ALT + CLICK = Zoom out
V = Normal selection
And i think paint bucket is K

(lol, and F5, F6 and F7 of course)

God bless that V button.

CTRL + F3 = Properties, at least, in Flash CS4 it is. quite useful.
F8 =convert to symbol.
N = Line tool
Ctrl + G = Group selected objects.

Oh i forgot about the most important key

F5 = Extend frame
F6 = Duplicate
F7 = Blank keyframe
F8 = Convert to symbol
F9 = Actions pannel

Well if we're going into the direction of the bare necessities..
" , " and " . " for going backwards and forwards on the timeline.

Ive already said this
< >

not quite though, as the " < : sign is achieved by holding shift, same goes for the other one.

by not holding shift and pressing those buttons you get the comma and the period.
Big difference :-P

F9 is probably my most used shortcut though.

naw, only if you know actionscript *cough cough malfunction*

who gives two shits they look like arrows >.> and thats how u should remember them

actually I imagine them as , and . lololol

to each his own though

By holding spacebar you get the hand tool , when you release the spacebar you go back to your previous tool.
This is alot easier than switching tools all the time.
same goes for ctrl (selection tool)

Now that's useful stuff!

Yeah thats really awsome i prefer that over the original hotkey

Plus if you get good at Ctrl + Space + Click and Ctrl + Alt + Space + Click you can navigate around really quickly and easily.
