I haven't installed Mimic on this machine but if I remember right Mimic defaults to 12 fps. Which was one of the reasons I changed to 12 fps from (an incredibly mean) 10 fps for web based stuff. Typically, people want vectorised movies from the Flash exporter so the lighting colours, models etc have to have very careful consideration paid to them for your movie to shine. There is very little point in exporting more than 4 or 5 colours, the resulting file size will be astronomical if you go higher. You can go another route and use imported bitmaps or in MX a direct import of the movie (but lose some frame functionality) A bitmap sequence will work well and can be compressed well with third party apps (senility's creeping in, can't remember it's name right now) But I suspect that the originator's already found out most of this....
