I can relate man. Some times it takes a few test runs to make thing run smooth. Flash do have it's issues, but I think you guys can pull it off. May I suggest try to convert the part that is lagging into a avi format to see how well it plays back; so this way you know if the final need to be swf or avi. For this reason flash play back may lag depend on your document setting stage size or the amount of graphics the v-cam have to process, also on top you have to think about the audience ghz of their computer.

Hey Mystic! Thank you for the tips:) Actually never thought about any of that O_O Tried to render it as an avi, and only parts of the animation would animate. The animation that's within the symbols wouldn't animate at all, so parts looked a bit stiff :( It's weird, and not sure what's going on. Thanks again :D
If you have symbols that are movie clips, go inside that symbol and create a new layer above it. Write in a play script on the first frame then go to the last frame and create a new frame, then write a stop script on the last frame and try it now. Do this for any symbol that happens to be a movie clip, but don't add a stop script on blinking animation or mouth symbols. See if that will work for play back.
If that don't work try doing this then, publish the file as a swf and not avi from flash. Down load swivel from here http://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/creator-resources/flash-resources/swivel and let it covert the file as Avi for you and test it.
Awesome, thank you very much Mystic :D We'll be sure to give this a try :) Also figured that we could maybe render out everything in layers. Like, animation will have its own layer, foreground/middleground/background will be rendered in their own layer, music, effects, etc. Then I'll use your advice to render them out as avi, then put them together in Sony Vegas! Still have yet to try it, but it could work? Maybe. Thanks again!

Hey Mystic! Thanks, hopefully it'll be done soon, but there've been a lot of snags :/ Still trying to figure out Flash. At the moment, there are too many symbols, and some of the basic animation is chugging. So we may have to drop the detail a bit for the animation to run smoothly . We'll see:) Hope you're well, cheers!
