Hi list!

I guess some of you have already experienced this effect:

Creating full frame video-like animations at a video-like frequency (25 fps
to 30 fps in Director), results in a flickering image.

I think the effect is due to the fact that the frequency Director uses to
update the stage is not synchronized with the frequency the graphics adaptor
displays the stage. In fact, what is causing the flickering is that you see
only one part of a specific Director frame plus one part of the next
Director frame. With the hard line that marks the transition of the two
frames constantly changing.

In my opinion the solution of the problem would be to synchronize the output
of Director with the output of the graphics adaptor. If Director would be
running at 30 fps and the graphics adaptor at 60 Hz, for every other cycle
of the graphic adapter output there would be exactly one new Director frame.

Has any of you already solved that problem? Does anybody of you know of a
specific graphic adapter that would be able to be synchronized by Director?

If so, thanks for sharing your knowlege!

Regards
Michael
