I am having a problem with loading external swf's. The external swf's when loaded.....run very very slow; sometimes unresponsive as if there is a script running in the background. I'm using keyboard commands to navigate through the screens - e.g.:
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndStop("scene02", "firstframeLabel");
}
I've been using flash functionality in order to fill in dynamic text variable with an external data. The script works fine, except that now runs very slow - around 30 seconds or so.
myData = new LoadVars();
System.useCodepage = true;
myData.load("get_content.php?id="+_root.id); //get external content[code].............
I have made a simple animation in Flash and the i exported into a swf. The problem is, that the movie is running slow, jerky or in other words is playing in slow motion. I have changed the frame rate but with luck, is there a problem with video player/codec?
*Edit1: the clip doesn't have any code, is hand drawing on 6 layers; also when i import this movie in Adobe Premier and the export in .avi the jerky effect disappears.[Url]
I've almost finished a website for a client, this is my first as3 project.
The website runs pretty slowly, As3 code should run 100 times faster then as2 code.[url]...
I have a fairly large flash movie with over 3000 frames set to 30fps with several videos as backgrounds, some special effects libraries, sound effects, music, voice, and a reasonable amount of tweening going on. Some of the scenes are running a bit slowly, particluarly during scene transitions when new sounds, voice, music and videos come in.question: is it better to split this up into many swfs and then make a flash file that plays each one? How should I be organizing it?
If so, what code do I use to play multiple swfs and how do I load one from my setup screen out of order (In my setup screen, I let the user start playing at any scene they like). I have 7 "scenes". I use quotes because they are not actual scenes (which even Adobe recommends against and I'm unsure why... - if you know, tell me?). My scenes are simply delineated by placing Labels along the timeline.
I have a main interface which loads up a series of animated .swfs, one after the other into an empty movie clip, under a mask layer on my main timeline.My problem is with the loaded swfs running really slowly. Without them being loaded into the interface, they run fine, as I have tested them online.But once they are within the interface, they run really slowly, especially when the redraw regions are biggest.
I'm just using
loadMovie("FirstMovie.swf", "_root.empty_mc");
In my main timeline to load the first movie, then
this.loadMovie("SecondMovie.swf");
...on the final frame of the first movie, and so on.As you can see, I havent put any numbers or channels in, as I'm not sure how they work. Could this be why my swfs are running so slow?
I am currently working on a flash website for a client, I am a PHP and Csharp developer and am reasonably new to flash/ActionScript 3. The website has a video gallery with 10 thumbnails, when one is clicked the specific video is loaded into an FLVPlayback component.
The problem I am having is that on slower internet connections the site and videos are running really slowly and even occasionally getting stuck and crashing! Currently there is no preloader for the site as a whole but I have a preloader for each video, a loading animation is played until the FLVPlayback component has loaded 50% of the video in, then it plays. I also set the bufferTime of the FLVPLayback component to 10 which seemed to help the stuttering sound.
The flvs are reasonably large some a few hundred MB, is there a way to optimize flash websites or does anyone have any tips on how to make the site and videos run smoother on slower connections, bearing in mind on my fast internet connection at home the site works well.
I'm going some genetic algorithms in Flash, and just wondering if there is any way to get rid of that stupid pop up. You know the script is running slow one, that pops up after 15secs because it ASSUMES your in a stuffed loop.I think the amount of times I go through loops in 38000. Thats with 50 Generations and 100 Population.

notice how it doesn't take any time to load on first URL, but on the second URL, it takes A LOT of time for the flash swf (header) to appear. Even when you change pages, it doesn't seem to get cached.

View 5 RepliesWe have photos that are loading too slowly and I need to speed them up. I am using AS2. What's even more perplexing is that at certain times after refreshing the web page, some photos load and some do not. It seems to be random, at various times, the photos that did load do not. I cannot put my finger on why this is happening..
First, I tried using loadMovie(). Then, I tried the var loader:
MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); with loadClip()
For each JPEG. You are welcome to look at the site and see if there is anything that I can do to improve the speed of the loading. [URL]
I'm loading 6 variables from a text file to populate an array, then using setInterval to populate two textfields every 5 seconds. IE7 gives me the "A script in this file is causing Flash Player 10 to run slowly do you want to abort this script?" It runs fine locally, but when I upload it, it won't work. Files are in the same folder in each case. Here is the entire script.

I have a flash template in Flash AS - 2 , with a initial sound that triggers at the very beginning in full sound. Now what I want to slowly mute the sound gradually step by step up to the loading of the home page. How can I do that? Worthless. I attached a very simple fla with sound. There is a stop action and at this point the home page is loaded.Now how can I mute the sound slowly upto this point.
View 5 Repliesokay i have 2 nav sections. one starts to animate it's "entrance" and in the middle of it, i want the other to start running.
i can't figure out the best way to call the 2nd one to run. attachMovie? or what? and how/where do i attach it: root, level1? i'm afraid i don't get it.
oh and with attachMovie: it just attaches the movie with x=0 and y=0 (the top-left corner). is just following the attach code with
mc._x=200;

I have a main .swf that is a container for an external swf. The main swf runs at 40fps or so. So consequently, the external swf also runs at 40fps. I would like to have the external swf run at a mere 12fps because the swf contains a video. How can I make it so that the external swf runs at only 12fps?

View 1 RepliesI was just wondering if anyone could help me to figure this out - I'm afraid I'm really not sure what the problem is so I'll try to be as specific as I can, if you need me to provide any extra info then just ask.Basically I have a fla file -the menu of my game- that loads external swf files (the various game modes) when the user clicks a button. I can get everything loaded in fine, but it runs at a snails pace and occassionally generates errors (mainly caused by the game mode calling removeChild()) that don't happen when the 'game modes' are run as stand-alone swf files.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I remove almost all listeners from the menu before I run the game modes, so there's almost nothing that could be using up processor power that's needed for the game - it's a pretty basic game anyway so it shouldn't be processor-intensive to my computer anyway. I've spotted a few other topics similar to this, but they're either not answered or the solution doesn't fit what I'm trying to do.
I'm using Flash Builder 4 on a mac. I've created a JSFL file for building a few fla's and then testing my main SWF file. I'm trying to run this JSFL file as an external tool from Flash Builder 4 but when I select Adobe Flash CS4.app as the file to run the JSFL Eclipse warns "External tool location specified is not a file."
I have Parallels installed and if I point at a .exe file this warning goes away. Is this a bug? Why can't I use a .app as an external tool in Eclipse?

View 4 RepliesI managed to get the swf to load fine on this page (www.diamondraindesign.com) until I added a full-screen invisible button that goes over the slides. It uses the same counter to sync with them so that whenever someone clicks on it they go to the proper page. Unfortunately, now only the link works to the first page item, and sometimes I can't even see the slides 'loading' text, just a white background. If I take the link button out, the slides are fine. Why is the link interferring, and how do I get it to sync and not stop the slides?
View 11 RepliesOn Actionscript I found this really cool smooth preloader [URL]..In my example you see a pink button. This button sets the to be loaded SWF in a var and commands the Cover Over image to play (cover). After the Cover MC had reached the over-state (frame 15), there is a loadBar + an action giving a loadMovie command (it needs to be loaded into a MC called content)

I'm new at AS3. I'm pretty good when it comes to PHP, MySQL or HTML but I'm totally lost in AS.I have a project in Flash Builder 4 that I'm trying to add something to that was built in Flash Professional. It's supposed to loas a couple of external AS files, then execute functions from them at a certain point in the application. I know where I want the functions to execute in the application, and I have linked the AS files to "test.as" which is the main AS file for "testapp.mxml". The problem is calling the "Detector" function from inside "FaceDetector.as" which is one of the external AS files. What is the best way to do the following.[code]I want to start the script and let it do what it's supposed to do inside the application at that given time.
