---Since the default frame rate for swf is 12 fps and the default in Director is 30 fps, you will get this discrepncy. What i have done in the past to alleviate the slowness of swf in director is to open the Flash Asset Properties dialog box and under the rate menu, change it from normal to fixed. Now a field nex to the menu will be editable, put in 30 fps. This should speed the swf in Director, although i am not sure if it will play as fast as it does in flash. Hope this helps
