My main flash movie is made up with scenes, on each scene I have used the UILoader component to load external swf content to the main movie, the first one works fine but gradually with each loop the movie slows down, i have a globe in one scene which is looking really juddery
View 2 Replieshere's my code:
Code:
var foodArray = new Array();
var loopCounter = 0;
var newNum;
[Code].....
But I get this problem in flash when I test or view the external .swf:
"A script in this movie is causing Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" Then two buttons, "Yes" and "No".
When I click "Yes" the swf plays and my numbers in my array trace out non-repeating, the way I want, but the rest of my movie behaves funky.
I'm currently creating a rewind function that makes a video go to a certain frame number when a button is clicked. The issue is that the code is shooting through the frames too quickly. Is there any way to slow this down?
Code:
stop ();
slider.minimum = 1;
slider.maximum = target.totalFrames;
slider.liveDragging = true;

View 1 RepliesI have a difficult problem with a recursive function. Essentially I need to 'slow down' a for loop within a function that repeatedly calls itself (the function); Is this possible, or do I need to somehow extract the recursive nature of the function?
function callRecursiveFuncAgain(ob:Object):void{
//do recursive stuff;
for (var i:int = 0; i < 4; i++) {
_nextObj=foo
callRecursiveFuncAgain(_nextObj);
}}
Any way to prevent a simple mc from slowing my main movie. As you will see, I uploaded 2 exact versions of the same movie but the first has an extra mc with a simple rotation of a shape in a 30 frame tween. and on the other that mc is not animated. The rotating mc is the light rays behind the purple spintop. And you will notice on the animated rays version, that the whole movie along with other mc's slow down. Some computers more than others. You'll notice the difference comparing the 2 movies if you wait for the flying gadget to appear.
Here is the link with the 2 examples: [URL]
(The rays_mc is a star shaped graphic symbol in flash vectors, not bitmap)
I've tried rotating the "rays_mc" via:
1. tween with 30 frames
2. Frame by frame with 10 frames
3. Using the _rotate parameter with onEnterFrame
4. I've thought that maybe the gradient fill was causing that slowdown, so I tried a solid fill but it was the same.
And all of them result in the same outcome. I don't understand why such a simple mc slows down the whole thing.
Is there a way in AS to double the number of frames instead of manually going back into the movie and adding more frames or slowing down the frame rate? I need to slow this movie down, but I don't want to sacrifice quality
View 9 RepliesI have a gallery flash that loads a pictures from xml. The pic slides on from the right. When btnNext is clicked it slides off to the left and the next pic slides on from the right. There is also a btnBack which slides on the previous pic. There are around 200 pictures.
I have now spent weeks on and off trying to figure out why it slows down and starts to chug! I figured out, with the help of individuals on this forum, how to remove the pictures when they are off stage. It definitely helped but its not yet resolved.
This flash is quite processor intensive with the amount of graphics. But the thing is, when the flash start off it goes fine but after so many pictures it starts to chug. Which seems to me that there is somehting it is not GCing or something of the sort!

How does Flash deal with elements that are off-stage?Obviously Flash doesn't actually render them (because they don't appear anywhere on-screen), but is the process of rendering them still existent, slowing down my game as much as it would if the elements were on-screen?
Or does Flash intelligently ignore elements who don't fall into a renderable area?Should I manually manage removing objects off the DisplayList and adding them back on as the exit and enter the stage, or is this going to be irrelevant?

I'm still having some problems understanding these touch events...or maybe something else..can anyone enlighten me as to what i'm doing wrong in this code?? Only left as1&2 to go to 3 recently so I'm sure I have bad habits and misconceptions but. In the IDE i have a button on the stage called: "touchBtn" and a textfield called "timer"
the problem i have is that if i touch the button fast / lots, the display rate really slows down...I know this is down to something I'm doing totally wrong but not sure what..

View 4 RepliesI'm SO new to scripting. I find it all a bit daunting I have a Flash movie that runs for about 300 frames, then I'd like it to run backwards once it's reached the last frame, then play again from the beginning, and loop from there.
So really forward end frame reverse loop play again (loop) Is there an easy way to script this? I think I can figure out the first frame, but what would one put at the last frame?
How would I go about using a timer to initiate multiple movie clips at once, and then loop them if they are all different lengths so that they restart in sync once more?
For example, say at t=0, 3 movie clips are started. Movie clip 1 is 3 seconds long. Movie clip 2 is 6 seconds long. Movie clip 3 is 10 seconds long. Movie clip 1 would end before movie clip 2 and 3, but I don't want it to restart until the others are both finished.
Furthermore, is it possible to set a countdown so that the the movie clips are initiated not after a duration, but after a specific time? For example, instead of having a timer countdown from 10 seconds and then playing, it instead countdowns until say 12:00 PM and then plays the movie clip.
Does anyone know how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline.
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline.

On very slow machines (>p200Mhz) I sometimes get an error that says "A script in the movie is causing macromedia flash player 6 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" Yes, No.
I have a loop function that populates a listbox, sometimes the file it loops from is over 2000 lines, and takes a long time for the listbox to populate. In this time I get the error. If I hit No on the error everything works just fine. I am almost for sure there is no problem with my script, flash just thinks the loop is set to infinity or something and pops open the error box.

View 1 RepliesI have a problem with the camera slowing down in my project.I thought it could be because of the complexity and memory consumtion of this work, so I created a completely new movie, typed such code:
quote:
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
var video = new Video(camera.width, camera.height);
video.attachCamera(camera);
addChild(video);
[code]....
And... this time the camera's fps stayed 25fps all the time. To be honest - I really don't know why :| I mean, I'm happy the fps stayed stabily at the level, but I don't know what to do in the mentioned, complex, project to make the fps faster. I can't just add the trace line.
I have a slideshow on the opening page of my website and about a minute and a half in, it starts to slow way way down. It looks choppy and really bad - I had the slide in its own file and it was fine - then I made it into a single movie clip and cut and paste it into the website on the first frame so it would play automatically right away - then it started doing the slow thing when I previewed it
