Hi again. :) It's not a load-time problem that I'm dealing with. It's after they've loaded and been displayed to the user. The animation occours when the user is interacting with them.
1) user clicks on one of the loaded swf files 2) swf file begins animating, changing it's height and width 3) in response to the changing height/width the swf files get moved to new positions The problem I'm having is that the swf file has to render first, before I can access it's new height and width in order to calculate where to move it to. Which is causing juddering as the swf initially renders in the wrong position, gets moved, and then renders in the wrong position again, etc. until the animation is completed. You might be onto something there with calling "invalidate". Perhaps I can use that to get the new height and width before it renders. I'll give it a whirl...

One of the way to handle this may be to hide the loaded applications at first, let them load and render off screen, and then lay them out based on their final size. I guess you lose the animation though ... but something along those lines.
