I am working on some particle effects, and I am experiencing noticeable slowdown anytime I move the mouse. I am not using any MouseEvents, and I even see this slowdown when the mouse is moving outside of the Flash window. Also, I only notice this slowdown when running the movie from within Flash CS3 (when I run the .swf externally, it runs flawlessly).How can I make this slowdown disappear?
View 2 RepliesI have a game that has around 400 movie clips in it and whenever I mouse over the stage the FPS drops to around 8-15. I tried setting Mouse.hide() and mouseEnabled = false but it doesn't seem to do anything
View 1 RepliesI am struggling with an issue at the moment related to mouse events or more specifically mouse movement. I have found that moving the mouse in my game causes it to slow down. Rapidly moving the mouse can actually freeze the game, I believe EnterFrame events are actually dropped when the mouse is moving rapidly.
I thought at first that it must be something I coded incorrectly so I used the Flex 4 Beta's performance tools and analyzed the Flash 10 SWF that I build using Flash CS4. Mouse Events were the leading performance hog by far.
Whenever the mouse moved the CPU usage would skyrocket. I then tried an empty Flash App with no Actionscript, I had the same CPU spike.
So if I'm getting this problem with a Blank SWF how come I don't see this problem talked about all over the internet, how is every other Flash Developer not running into this problem?

View 2 RepliesI've used jqUploader for a while but I find that it will occasionally fail to work on certain browsers on certain machines or will not work properly when using HTTP Basic authentication. I've tired of trying to get this to work properly and am considering switching to another (hopefully) less buggy uploader. I've looked into Uploadify and it so far seems promising. Have you experience with any alternatives to jqUploader including possibly Uploadify? If so, what are your thoughts and recommendations?I would prefer that configuring any such uploader require knowledge of JavaScript and/or jQuery, and that it not be totally reliant on any one specific back-end technology. Built-in PHP compatibility is a plus.
View 1 RepliesIt has been awhile since I have worked in flash.Right now I am working on something where I would like a panel to disappear when someone mouses off the stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, leaveHandler); It usually works fine but if I move my mouse really fast it doesn't fire. I have also tried the same thing using a custom invisible button that surounds the perimeter of the stage and I have tried ROLL_OVER and MOUSE_OVERand again, if I do it too fast my event doesn't fire (I am using trace)I can't find anything on the net about this - is this typical of flash that if you move your mouse too fast you break it? Do I need to increase my frame rate (I would really rather not because I have perfectly timed animations - I am at 30 frames per second)
View 1 Replieswhen the mouse rolls over an image, text appears (in a small rectangle) and it moves with the mouse, only while it is still over the image.
Or at least, does anyone know what this is called or how to do it?
As of Flash 10.2, Flash supports hardware accelerated mouse cursors:[URL]..Unfortunately, the mouse cursor doesn't update until AFTER the mouse moves. You can see this behavior on the web page above. If you click "Set to custom cursor" in the sample app at the bottom of the article, you'll see that the cursor doesn't change until you move the mouse.
Anyone have a trick for updating the mouse cursor immediately, before the user moves the mouse? I tried doing Mouse.hide(); Mouse.show(); but that doesn't work.
I am creating mouse scroller and when I insert actionscript my images wont move depending on the mouse movements..I am using Flash cs5 and Actionscript 2.0...this is my actionscript:

I am trying to have two guestures on a SpriteVisualElement which I thought should be pretty simple implemented: Mouse_Move for sweep Gestures and mouse click to enable.. So I have 2 Eventlisteners on my stage:

The main problem is that every type of sweeping on the screen also fires the taphandler().. how to identify the correct event? I tried to to my taphandler only if(!event.buttondown) but no success.
I started another thread where i had gotten help and combined the snow tutorial and the programatic mask tutorial to create particles that reveal an in-focus image over a blurred one. I just need help making the particles swarm around the mouse when it is present and have the particles just float around when not. Presently the random motion is just fine and looks like this (i just inverted the this._x and this._y so that they would go with the mouse direction not away from):

I'm wondering how is this task done that listen to mouse move event when user cursor is out of stage?

How can you restrict the mouse so that users cannot move their mouse into a certain area, (or a certain y or x value)? This is useful to me because I need it for a game.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to ask the following question: for instance, I have a scene in 3ds max with 10000 textured cubes. Is it possible to export this .max scene to Flash and create a .swf application, in which user will be able to rotate, zoom the scene and also select a particular cube and all this done without visible PC slowdown? After some googling I found that Papervision3D is a good tool for working with 3D in Flash.
View 3 RepliesI'm having a bit of trouble in a game application I'm building,I recently added a bit of code that makes the game more visually interesting. As you move your character around screen, it creates instances of the GFX_Dot class, which is tied to a small green dot.In the class file I have a timer which decreases the alpha of the dot until it hits zero, at which point I'd like it to delete itself. Here are the functions I've got in the GFX_Dot class:
//GFX_Dot class
public function GFX_Dot() {
randomize();[code]..........
The part at the end "delete this" is meant to delete reference to "this" and allow it's memory to be re-used, however upon running the program, it's clear that they must not be deleting themselves, because after half a minute of creating a new GFX_Dot every frame at 30 fps, the game begins to get very slow. Before adding these graphical elements the game ran snappy all the time, I'm almost certain it has to do with them not being deleted properly.
I have this code that I found online that does an infinite rotating gallery, now my problem is that on enter frame it jumps and too fast. I want it to be as fast at after you hover out of the logo.
Here is the code:
//Import TweenMax
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
//Save the horizontal center

after starting simple project with the Collision Detection Kit i get very poor framerate. The movie starts at full frame rate, but slowdown after few seconds.
View 1 RepliesI'm fairly new to the use of loadMovie, unloadMovie, and removeMovieClip for external swfs, but anyways, let me summarize the problem as simply as I can. I have a shell.fla file that is currently loading in external swfs, one at a time, for a game. Here is an outline of how my shell works:
1. first part of game gets loaded in an empty movieclip (container_mc)
2. a listener is created that will listen to an event broadcaster that exists within the external swf.
3. when the listener receives the "done" message, I run container_mc.removeMovieClip() and then load part 2 of the game in a new empty clip called container2_mc.
At this point, I get really severe slowdown for some reason, and I don't know why!! Part 2 of the game is a tile based maze game which is not optimized 100%, but when I run that swf on its own (i.e. not inside the shell) it runs perfectly smooth. But when it is loaded after part 1, it goes really slow.

I've been building my app' and testing it every day by exporting it to a movie, and testing everything.It's all been going very well and the .swf is usually exported to my desktop in less tha the time it takes to minimize the Flash window.Today I started work on my .fla (mark18) and added a "back" button to every scene (it takes the user back to a main page with the actionscript:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("Main");
}
There are 9 scenes which are very short.BUT, when I tried to export it, it took about 15 minutes to export.
My app is set up to pause the animation when the mouse is pressed down by calling Timer.stop(). While the mouse is pressed, the user can draw on the screen by dragging the mouse. When the mouse is released, the animation starts again with Timer.start() and is based off what the user draws.However, after I let the animation run for a while the app gets so slow that I can't even drag to draw when the timer is not calling the animation update without the drawing skipping hundreds of pixels at a time.
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;

When I run my flash app in the default player it runs at 60 fps (the code is ~2ms a frame), but when I run it in firefox, the rendering phase is incredibly slow (~50ms).This is a relatively new symptom. I have not increased the amount of data to be rendered, but I have modified the type of data from MovieClips cached as Bitmaps, to straight Bitmap data... if that's relevant.[code]

View 2 RepliesI am using Bulkloader [URL] to load in a succession of 10 images whilst the main elements of my site have already been preloaded. It is required that these images are not loaded within the preloader as they are large in size and this will increase the wait to an unacceptable level. They are not added to the display list upon succesful load but instead are added at a later time.
The problem I am having is that the menu navigation of the site is slowed down considerably and looks sluggish if the user navigates around whilst the images are being loaded in the background. Once loading stops everything is fluid and smooth. The animations are being carried out using a combination of timeline and Tweener.
Firstly, does anyone know if this is normal behaviour? I don't see why something being loaded should interfere with something moving on the screen, they are doing completely different tasks so I am a bit puzzled as to why they seem to clash.
Secondly, can anyone suggest a feasible workaround? I have been experimenting with using BulkLoader's pauseAll and resumeAll methods and have had some success by detecting mouse events and pausing/resuming as and when required, but it is proving a lot more complicated than I feel it should be, especially as I don't think loading should be affecting animation in the first place.
I have tried loading the images in one-by-one as I thought having too many connections open (apparently bulkloader can open multiple connections for faster loading) may cause some memory issue or suchlike, but that made no difference, everything is still choppy and sluggish whilst the background loader is running.
I have a panning background with buttons in it. It would be nice if when the button is pressed i could move the position of the mouse so that the movie pans and catches up with the new position. Is this possible?
View 4 RepliesHere is what I've done so far: [URL] Basically my goal is to have this bottom image move horizontally according to the mouse. However it would be nice to have this image move slower and only go out of the stage by about 50px both ways (left and right). Here is the code I've used:

Can You with a code move the point where the mouse is placed?
Example. If you have a row of buttons on a frame and when you click one of the buttons you don want the mouse to be on that very same spot because on the next frame are the buttons on the same place. You want the mousearrow to be placed on the top of the frame.
I make my flash-site, & i want to make that, when the mouse don't move (for example for 10 seconds) then start an Mc.

I tried to translate this old code into actionscript 3, but unfortunately the new code doesn't work anymore.The mouse events of the old code are general, not linked to a movieclip (which I did in the new code with the addEventListeners). How can you do this with as3? Something like Stage.addEventListener? (but then I got an error feedback from flash, so it must be done differently).I also don't know how to translate the onMouseUp part. Maybe with a removeListener?
old code:
Actionscript Code:
import com.flashcreations.utils.MathExtra;onMouseDown = function() { // define this
[code].....
I'm trying to create a script that locates the objects location, and moves it smoothly out of location (but not out of stage) when the mouse is close. When the mouse moves away, the object should return to its place. I've really been searching for hours, and I cannot seem to find anything that works.
