ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Player Using 85 - 100% CPU When Sitting Idle On A Frame
Jul 8, 2011
I have a site that is using 80 - 95 % CPU power, while sitting idle.
The rundown.... The site has selectable backgrounds, that are set on the main timeline. Most of the rest of the site resides inside of a MovieClip that sits on the main timeline. Before that movieClip loads, it uses about 4-15% CPU power to do everything including animations.
Once it stops on the Frame that has the main site MovieClip the CPU usage goes through the roof. However, even if I don't interact with it and it is just sitting there, stopped on a frame, no animations looping, and nothing loading. My CPU usage is nearing 100%. What is going on? And How can I make this use less power.

the flash player seems to spend about 5msec (and sometimes more) idling at the end of every frame.this happens on a wide range of workloads and a wide range of targetted framerate.this seems to happen even when the flash player is not keeping up with the targetted framerate. using a profiler that shows what each of the CPU cores is doing, i notice that soon after returning from my frame handler, all four cores start executing (i assume to render) for a few msec, then 3 of the cores go idle while the main core finishes, then the main core goes idle and all 4 core remain that way for about 5msec.this is running flash player 10.3, windows 7, firefox, but i have seen similar idles in other environments

I have a movieClip sitting on the first frame of my main timeline. When it gets to the last fram of the movieClip, I want it to go and play frame 2 of the main timeline. I have this code on the last frame of my movieClip:
[Code]....
It actually doesn't throw it just once, it keeps throwing it as long as my preview window is open. As if it just keeps hitting that frame repeatedly. Am I doing this correctly? Or is there a better way to do it in AS3?

How do you return to a specified frame if the movie is idle for 2 minutes? I have a interactive flash movie that is playing on a touch screen. I want to return to a certain frame if no one has touched it in 2 minutes.

I have a Flash 10 program that locks up when running on a device, such as a netbook, that has a weak processor.Specifically, it goes into a state where it is doing very heavy processing within an ENTER_FRAME event handler following a mouse down event, and expects to stop doing this processing following a mouse up event. The problem is that, since there is no idle time left over following the frame event handlers, the mouse up event is never received, and consequently the process locks up in what amounts to an infinite loop. Yes I can do things like lower the frame rate and do what I can to reduce the processing taking place in each frame, but is there some iron clad way to break out of this? Is there some way to detect that no idle time exists? Or is there a way to force receipt of the interactive mouse events? Or could I, within the ENTER_FRAME code, detect the state of the mouse, up or down, without getting a mouse event?

I'm doing a very simple interactive screens. The timeline has 5 frames, each one with some MovieClips with "onRelease" events associated and some animations... very simple.
I'm publishing it has FP7 & AS2 (mandatory)
Surprisingly everything went fine from start to finnish, even on testing.
But when I was delivering this test version, something weird happened. I have Chrome by default has my browser, and I also tested with Firefox. On these two it works fine. The problem is when you test on IE.
In this browser the SWF skips to the second frame and stops when it loads, acting normal again. I can go back to the first frame and everything looks good.
At the beggining of each frame I have a stop(), and there's no other gotoAndStop events unless on buttons, nothing is triggered by actionscript.
I had the 10.2.159.1 version and upgraded to 11.0.1.152 (the latest)... the problem persists.
Meanwhile a simple timeout seems on 1st frame seems to solve the problem, but I wonder if this is a bug with AS2 on Flash Player specially on IE?

I am using Flash CS4 and when testing my application my frame rate changes as it is programmed to do so. When I try to run the application in a browser (tried Firefox 4, Opera 10.5 and IE 8) the frame rate does not change.
Why does the frame-rate not change?

I've got an app based on four frames with seperate events on each frame. The app is powered in AS3 and every frame calls stop(); and everything works well but the swf file in flash player has a problem where if the user hits control > play it moves to the next frame.How can I stop this? A simple conditional would prevent it but errors are triggered this way from ongoing functions from a previous frame.

If I have 5 frames and each contanins a MovieClip on stage that includes it's class, listeners, functions etc.If I go from one frame to another,should I clean everything up? I mean remove listeners, remove childs etc etc.Or other MovieClips except those in the current frame are ignored from flash player.

I am trying to create my first semi-serious flash game. The problem I am having is I want to be able to click a button in the players inventory to equip a different armor to the player, and have that armor work in the game on the same movieclip(Player) without having to re-make all the attacks and moves etc. for each change on another movieclip. My ideas are extremely novice like putting each armor and update on a different frame inside the Player movieclip and then doing a gotoAndStop to the frame. Though that may work I don't know how to goto a frame inside a movieclip. I would like to control this using as much code as possible.I would paste my code but I don't have any code for this part of the game so far. I have tried some simple coding but so far I cannot get the pieces together.

I'm looking for a Flash Video Player (something like JWPlayer) that I can embed in an html page, that provides a JavaScript API with a method to get the exact timestamp (aka position, or frame-count) for the current frame.

I m making a wbt where i want to display a message box if there is no interaction for some time (lets say 2 min). The scenario is there will be some voice over & text which ask the user to click on smthng or drag & drop intr. so i need to check once the voice is over whether student has done some interaction or if its in idle state. if state is idle then display some text box or message asking user to click or something.

when you iterate through an array using for / each, assuming the elements in the array are primitive types, the looping var takes on the type and value of each item, but is not a reference to the item.
Code:
var arr:Object = {a:1,b:2,c:3};
for each (var a:int in arr) {
a++;
[code]...
This differs from the behavior of PHP5, for example, where even though most objects are passed by reference automatically, objects within foreach loops are treated as copies unless specifically passed as &references like
PHP Code:
foreach ($arr as $key=>&$b) {}
Is there any way to get AS3 to do the decent thing and give you a choice whether subarrays are passed as references or not, without resorting to making ByteArray copies of your objects for every iteration of a loop?

I'm having a problem with the following code. It works perfect to attach a movie clip if the mouse is idle. The problem is there seems to be some sort of refreshing going on which is not allowing the movie clip to play past the first frame.
// Set time_out variable(flash time is in milliseconds)
// .2*60*1000 = 30 seconds
time_out = .05*60*1000;
// Set a time variable for mouse movement
_root.onMouseMove = function() {

I am trying to get an interval to start if the mouse is idle after a few minuets. The objective is once a user begins to use the flash program and stops the program will jump back to the main scene after a few moments of the mouse being idle. The interval also needs to stop and reset if the user begins moving the mouse again. This is my code thus far.
var duration:Number = 300000;
var myInter:Number = setInterval(backtomain, duration);
function backtomain():void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 10");
clearInterval(myInter);
}
I am also up for learning the Timer Class if that is my only option.

Is it possible to make an idle mouse dissappear after about 2 seconds, but if it becomes active again it reapears? I figure there is but I don't know the functions I would need to do it.
