[casual_games] Zinc framerate

[Olivier Besson]

How foolish, I was trying with a trial version :) 
thanks for the link !

.. However.. :(
I uninstalled/restarted computer/reinstalled Zinc 3.0.8 (trial) but.. 
still the same problem (tested with 120 fps + 60 fps).. Is it because I 
don't have the full version? It's so weeeeeird.. that I should bother 
MDM instead of this list (sorry)..

  Olivier

ps: Please note we are supposed to "be glad to know that the 3.0.2 
Projectors now run at the same speed as the native Web Flash Player"... 
But the Web Flash player is different from the Flash standalone 
projector. Flash Web player have also the same framerate penalty in IE, 
and FF2 (but no more in FF, since version 3). The Flash standalone 
projector is were the framerate is best.
