Not lag as it's like going to crash or you can't click anything.What I meant was that it is like lag as a slow ass online game fps due to the ping whenever I play the animation live on the timeline. Just making my duelist's demo, only about 16 layers and I have a lot of animations with more layers and it plays live just fine, some of these where 36 layers.

Don't be a piece of shit and actually buy flash maybe?

It's more than likely your computer.

Does this happen when you try to delete multiple frames?..this used to happen a lot when I was using windows 8..now I'm using windows 10,I don't experience that anymore..Not saying you should change windows though Try:

-Running it as admin
-Lower windows in compatibility mode
-Clearing memory..
ℓøℓ I don't know if this works..just a suggestion..

I'm wondering if you're opening another program while having flash 8 opened that moment (like steam or any kind of heavily loaded site). If there's any opened program alongside with flash, maybe close it first and try to play the animation again.

Also, what ping do you actually mean there?

because it's illegal, outdated, and unsupported.

Usually you buy something because they worked hard on it, and you actually want to support them. How would you feel if you made a great program but no one ever bought it because they can get it for free? If you don't give a shit, that's your choice.

I agree with them.
Seriously, before you blamed Flash 8 you should look at your PC first, check your active Background Programs.
or Upgrade your PC if your Specifications does not meet ideal requirements for huge-loaded Flash 8

If you feel Flash 8 is unstable and often crashed, buy the latest version of Flash and support the developers.
