Only if the animation is causing other code in Flex to run.

Hi, Another thing I found while using the component exported from flash cs3 using the component kit - the animation seems to run a bit slower compared to if I generate an SWF directly from the FLA. I exported my component at 20fps, then tested in an mx:Application with frameRate=20, and it's slightly slower. Measuring the time by using the nextFrame event, it comes out to be around 17-18 fps. Increasing the frameRate value of the Application doesn't seem to have any effect. Is it a valid expectation that the component would animate a bit slower with an SWF built using Flex compared to built using Flash? Thanks, Roy
