The boomer is constructed from three files:
Boomer.fla -

Bommer.fla's document class,
PxlFountain.as(courtesy of
http://www.pxl.dk/flash/004.php)
-
http://www.l4dt.com/PxlFountain.as
GlowParticle.as -
http://www.l4dt.com/GlowParticle.as
Boomer.fla bares no actionscript, although I need to know how
to position him above the spawning sprites(something I'll need to
know for the Poster App as well).

The swf is being inserted into
Worpress 2.7 footer.php. My
Wordpress engine has 14 plugins installed and activated( I plan to
go in to each plugin's code along with Wordpress' and optimize it
soon). Is Wordpress a possible suspect for the slowness?
Boomer.fla's dimensions are 950 pixels in width and 625
pixels in height. I'd rather Boomer.fla only be 605x196 and set
noscale and 100%x100% in hopes of the sprites reaching the user's
whole screen, but they always cut off at the FLAs
dimensions.
