I have used flash(.swf) animation & high quality graphical image there in my vb.net application. But problem is that sometimes when I click on menu it shows small line under it & take time to load it. It shows line under menu when load another forms though there is no line under that menu. I have 25 forms & every form has high quality image(image size is 1280*1024). Is there any way to get rid of this problem? Is there any way to make my application smooth though its high graphical & animated? Please help me.

Are you double buffering?, is this a Forms app, or a Web app?

Try put this in the constructor of each form:

Public Sub New()
    MyBase.New()
    SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, True)
    SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, True)
    SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, True)
End Sub

Use the form SuspendLayout before drawing and ResumeLayout when done.
Make sure that all the painting is done in the Paint event.
