I am using the hit test to assign a movieclip to move for some weird reason it is not really moving that fast. And it only operates on half the hit area also frame rate is at 32 so its not an issue with that.

PowerMac Dual 2.3 GHz G5/8 GB RAM I suspect I'm not using best practices, as this is my first project, but my the flash file is getting very sluggish to work on. The swf (AS 2.0) publishes fine and runs OK off the server and in the browser, but the Flash application is slowing down to a crawl making work very unpleasant indeed. Not that it was ever that fast to begin with. The Flash file size is presently 15 megs. It's got a log of symbols in the library and a lot of small jpgs used as navigational buttons, and utilizes many instances of the loader component to dynamically load external files: Is this too much of a demand on the app's resources? I do think that some of this has to do with a poorly implemented user interface (first attempt by Adobe to make Flash "look and feel" like a CS app), but I'm sure there are other issues.
View 1 RepliesWith CS3 and 4 I've had this problem. Whenever I apply a blur filter to a relatively big object, like 140x800 pixels (a jpeg, movieclip containing Flash drawings etc.) The swf file plays at a painfully low framerate and generally appears sluggish... Is this a limitation of Flash or is there some way to overcome this, using Flash, After Effects, Photoshop or WHATEVER? It's really killing my production.

I am creating a Twitter to Flash newsticker using a TextBox class. I animate the movement using methods of the TextBox class and TweenLite. The application runs fine, but after about 15 minutes, the tweenings become very sluggish. Anyone that has experience with the drawing API, as I think it is related to clearing / deleting the objects...

I'm creating an application where the user uses the Arrow Keys to navigate around the menus and Spacebar to continue. On the first screen is the main menu that launches external swf's. (I have it as an exe). When I play the external swfs individually in the Flash Player.......the navigation is perfect and runs smoothly. But when I launch the external swf's through the first screen (menu).....the loaded swf becomes very slow/sluggish to react when I hit the Arrow Keys. (E.g. have to hit the arrow key 3/4 times before it moves). The frame rate in each fla is the exact same. I use the levels to launch the external swf. I have also used the "load into an empty movieclip" and the outcome is still the same. I'm using CS5.
View 5 Repliesrecently i have tried loading external icons dynamically into my vertical carousel using XML and the icons got loaded successfully into the carousel ... but once they are loaded the entire processor is getting consumed ( even though its a decent config ) and the animation is becoming sluggish ... i've tried and searched the net for a solution but i couldnt find one related to this... i just used actionscripting in my .fla and no tween ( in the main timeline or the movieclip in the library) ...

I'm trying to test a custom Flex 4 skinnable component, using the FlexUnit UIImpersonator class. If I run my tests from a FlashBuilder Spark only project everything works fine. If I try to test from a project with the mx component set on the classpath I get a "getElementIndex not available in non Flex 4 projects" error.Can I unit test spark components in FlexUnits visual test environment while still having the mx component set on the classpath?
UIImpersonator delegates it's method calls to a "testEnvironment".The implementation used for this "testEnvironment" is decided by the VisualTest EnvironmentBuilder class and the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class. If the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class can find the "mx.core.Container" on the classpath it returns a MX environment, else a Spark environment. Only the spark environment has valid implementations for Flex 4 relevant method calls on the UIImpersonator - like the addElement method.
My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
This is the code that I put in for the buttons:

i have a movie that has worked fine in past during Html test but ive been doing some dubugging using the flash test latly and it runs fine here but when i go back and try to test in Html mode no errors come just the movie never fully starts (starts up about as much as if there was an error).
View 5 RepliesI have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.
In FlexUnit 1 it is possible to access the name of the currently-running test using the TestCase.getName() method because all tests subclass TestCase. In FlexUnit 4, however, there's no base class for tests; the tests are identified by annotations. So, how can I replicate the getName() functionality in FlexUnit 4?

View 12 RepliesJust wanted to know if any of you know the best way to test your project? We all know pressing (control + enter "Test Movie") will let you test the movie, but what if you have tons of art, music, and other stuff in your library? It can take quite a long time to load, just to test the movie. Anyway around this? Is there anything else I can do (already removed music, but need other art and graphics) to be able to test quicker?

I have a brand new Mac Pro (8-core "nehalem") and I'm having a very frustrating problem. While testing a movie within Flash, the Test Movie window will randomly go completely blank, showing the Stage color. The movie is still running, there's no error, it's just blank. When I resize the Test Movie window, everything reappears. Until a few seconds later, it snaps back to blank.I resize, it reappears, it disappears,I resize,it reappears, it disappears... over and over. Today is my first day really using this machine for Flash. The FLA worked perfectly fine on my old Quad G5 and on my Intel iMac at home, so I don't think it's an issue with my file. The graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512MB VRAM. (the standard card that comes in the 8-cores.)
View 1 RepliesIn my platform game my character shoots bullets from a gun,these bullets are loaded from a 'bullet' class. A new instance of this class has the variable name 'bulletVar'. I can adjust the bullets x and y position like so:
bulletVar.x = 253;
But I also want to use it in a hitTestObject, I thought that the following code would work, but it does not!
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, hitEnemy);
function hitEnemy(event:Event):void
{
if (bulletVar.hitTestObject(enemy_mc))

Here's my code to call a bullet:
var bulletVar:bullet = new bullet();

I'm not sure when it started happening, but I believe after the update my movie keeps looping if I test the movie. This never happened before. I'm not sure what went wrong? I never changed my action script or anything. What can be my problem?

when i use the "rest movie" function or even when i try to hear audio from the library - no sound. this problem is only with flash. all other audio programs work ok. i use cs3 for almost a year with audio - this is new problem which started few days ago.
View 1 Repliesif (_root.Limits.Border.hitTest(this._x + xspeed, this._y + yspeed, true))Beginning with (this._x), I do not understand what effect that has on the hit test itself. I understand that the_root.Limits.Border.hitTestcalls a hit test on Border, which resides within the movie clip Limits. What effect is had on the outcome of the hit test by adding in those specific variables, along with the "true" at the end? I'm making a game that of course uses extensive hit test collision detection, and this code is from a sample I've been working on to get my collision detection down pat.

I don't need to parse the XML, or to decode it into an ActionScript object -- I'm only interested in loading both XSD and XML and tell whether the latter is legal XML according to the document definition in the former.
