My animation is only about 4 seconds long, but when i play it through it lags on like... one frame specifically. i'm not sure why. i have no symbols, it's all FBF but it freezes for like... a half second longer on one frame.

Posting the .fla or at least a screenshot of flash showing the full timeline and the frame where the lag is occuring will help you get a response faster. I'm guessing the lag you're talking about is in the middle of the head turn right?

Is it on the same frame that the audio starts to play? Flash will sometimes freeze slightly when it plays the first sound. I fix this by placing a sound on the very first frame of the movie (end it on frame 2) and set it to no volume. This'll hide the freezing.
