Need Help with Smooth Animation Previews

Hello! I'm trying to get the preview of my animation to display in real-time. However, after searching for information on the topic, it seems that achieving a smooth preview is not possible. Here's what I've tried so far without success:

  • Using the "Fast" preview mode
  • Keeping only the layer I need to animate visible
  • Zooming out
  • Closing all other programs on my PC before using Animate
  • Restarting the program
  • All of the above

Is there anything else I can do? My graphics card meets the requirements, but perhaps I should try something better, not just meeting, but exceeding the requirements.

Thank you!!

    your frame rate is too low.

    you can use a setting to maintain frame rate:

    Get into the habit of pressing Ctrl+Enter to publish a SWF. In most cases this will play well and smoothly at the required frame rate.

    You will never get consistently good results with timeline playback, no matter what you do.

      I understand, the problem is that if I have to do that to see the preview, it complicates things a bit for working with lip sync. I've been using Macromedia Flash Player for 15 years and never had this problem, there has to be a way 😧

      I'm working at 12fps. The issue is that the timeline freezes even at moments when there isn't much action happening
