In my game I am making, when the character dies, I call a MC with a 1.5 second fade. It goes from alpha 1 to alpha 0 within the 1.5 seconds. It drops the FPS drastically from 40 FPS to average of 15 FPS. what I could use instead, so I don't lose FPS?

I opened up a file that was created in cs3 flash with cs5 flash and we have some text that is bold in our actionscript code. now when i load that file with cs5 the bold text drop's out of bold and is just plain text. Does anyone know if there is a quick fix for this because what was there before the <b></b> is not working now.

My problem is that scaling the pic inside of flash makes the resolution of my pic very crappy. Is there any way to use a motion tween and scale my pic without losing the resolution and without having to import the pic frame by frame from photoshop?

Has anyone noticed how the 3D tween causes a loss in visual quality of the movieclip? For example, if I have text within a movieclip, and then put a 3D tween on that movieclip, the text becomes almost blurry (even when the tween is complete). Then if I take the 3D tween off the movieclip, the text goes back to being perfectly clear. It's not just text though; its any content with a 3D tween on it; text is just the most noticable. Is anyone else dealing with this?
Is there something that I'm missing, like a quality setting on 3D tweens?
P.S. there aren't any blur filters on the movieclip. I checked
i have a mobile application that i am creating in Adobe Flex (Flash Builder 4), and i am trying to create a zoom function. The one i have works, but the point is to be able to more easily read words that are in the image (the images are .jpg files). The images are 2550x3300 originally, but as soon as you zoom, the image quality reduces drastically, and nothing is readable.

So we're trying to come up with a way to automatically assess the "quality" of streams published to an FMS. So far, I've come down to 3 different statistics:
* Round-trip ping time to client (using the Client.ping() method and Client.getStats().ping_rtt.
* A home-grown jitter calculation that compares the deviation between wallclock and media time for an inbound stream, e.g., I get N+/-M seconds of media over a period of N seconds of wallclock time. How big is M on average? (uses Stream.time and Date.getTime()).
* How much packet loss are we getting?
For this third metric, I have the client sending up period reports containing tuples of <media_time, cum_bytes_sent>, where media_time is provided by NetStream.time and cum_bytes_sent is provided by NetStreamInfo.byteCount. I'm then comparing these samples to a similar set of samples obtained on the server via Stream.time and Client.getStats().bytes_in. Unfortunately, these two data sources do not seem to be measuring exactly the same thing. While they are close to each other, the received bandwidth (e.g., measured by the server) always seems to exceed the sent bandwidth (measured by the client) by a small amount (e.g., 0.5% to 2%) on a clean network.
The goal of this whole exercise is to enable to server to automatically detect when a client is having problems (either network or local CPU). Among other things, this will trigger us to tell the client to try sending a lower-bitrate stream.
So, my questions:
* Is there a method for me to reliably calculate (or obtain) a packet loss factor? With something like RTP, I could simply look for holes in sequence numbers, but I don't see any APIs that would give me that sort of information via FMS (our inbound streams are usually RTMFP).
* If there isn't a way for me to get a clean packet loss factor, is there another quality metric I should be looking at?
I'm using Flash CS4. Everything functions as it should when CS4 previews the swf after compiling it. However, after embedding the flash item in a webpage, if the textArea loses focus within the flash piece, the textarea's built-in UIscrollbar resets to the very top. Here's the kicker: if I add a FOCUS_OUT event listener to the textArea to store the current scrollbar value, I find that the scrollbar value has been reset to minimum even before the FOCUS_OUT event is triggered! WTF? I think this is occurring because the textArea's htmlText propery is dynamically populated. Adobe AIR has advanced methods for handing HTML, but not simple AS3, oh no. How obnoxious. What can be done?

I have a row of buttons, and I want each one to open its corrisponding page ie. contact_us_button to open contact_us movie clip. the thing is I want each page to transition in and out. so when I click contact us, the contact us movie clip fades in and stops. When I click about us, the contact us movie clip fades out and about us fades in.
Is the way to do this to make each page movie clip have a fade start and fade end, and have it stop before the fade end, and on another page click continue playing the current clip to get the fade out and then open the new page movie clip?

I have a tweened movie which plays on a loop. A click on the image area stops the movie and the image fades nicely from alpha 100 to alpha 0. A second click brings the image back immediately to alpha 100 and the clip continues. I would like the movie image to fade back in from alpha0 to alpha 100 before it re-starts; (the reverse of the fade out). At the moment the re-appearence of the image is a crude jump. So far my ill informed tinkering has not worked.

View 2 RepliesI simply have one FLVPlayback component in the background and a movieclip on the layer above with an FLVPlayback component inside it. The first FLV component is constantly looping a five-second video. So all I need is for the movieclip containing the second FLV component to load the right file, fade in, and when the video ends, fade out. Absolutely all of that works... apart from the fading in. What I noticed was that my movieclip was fading in correctly, but the FLVPlayback component was empty and transparent until the fade had finished - then it played the clip. Here's my code, which gets called at random intervals:

how to do this effect.I have a movie instance named "sparkles_mov" as in internal movie, not loading externally.It's placed multiple times on the stage.I need an AS code for the first frame of the entire stage that makes all instances fade in at a specific frame number (5), last for XXX amount of seconds and then all of the instances to fade out at a specific frame number (70).Is this possible? I have all instances fading in using this AS code placed on the frame that they enter on but the fade out never works, the just abruptly disappear:

I would like to fade in and out and object with the colorTransform-method. When I apply the colorTransform to my object it does fade out the thing but not fade in. At first I set the alpha of the bitmapData to 0 (for the fade in-effect). After applying the colorTransform it does nothing. No fade in. Otherwise when I set the alpha of the bitmapData to 100 and let it fade out it works.
