Have an old fla written made in Flash MX/AS1 which run OK.
Opened it in Flash-8, changed publishing settings from AS1 to AS2.
The resulting SWF runs jerking.
What might be the reason?

the main issue i see working with legacy code from flash 6 is AS1 not caring about upper/lowercase mix in variable names and the such.

So a variable myVar is the same variable as myvar in AS1 but in AS2 they are two seperate variables.

There might be some code related in this way, or a different way of using setInterval

old - setInterval(funcLink, interval)
new - setInterval( scope, "funcName", interval)

There are a lot of improvements to the overall semantics etc. Check the AS2 Dictionary and check what's new. It would also be helpful if you told us generally, what the movie does and what you are using AS to accomplish...

It works, but slowly as if somer AS1 code is interpreted into very
ineffective machine code by AS2 interpretor
My question was if it is know which particular AS1 features have these
problems in AS2

if you want to publish it as AS2, then write it in AS2.
