when is are lots of stuff on the screen, the playback slowers down to a lower frame rate.

But thats a problem because i cant see how fast it will be when rendered.
Its very difficult to get a good timing in the animation that way.
is there an option like in Maya e.g. which tries to hold the frame rate by dropping some frames in the preview?

Try Animation/Allow Frame Skipping.

If you have Quicktime on your computer, then choosing "export animation" from the File menu (shortcut Control+E) will render off a Quicktime movie for you that can then be played without leaving Moho. Be sure not to have the picture resolution in project settings set too high - use about 400 pixels width, for example, and you will find the rendering time is pretty fast for most sort of scenes.

If "wtf" means something like "what that feature/function" you only must have QT (QuickTime) installed and press it to know it... IT'S A GREAT "F"! ;)

Oops. Thanks for reminding us about F5 Ramón. I am ashamed to say I had forgotten about it.

And please, do not express your frustration with F or S bombs.
