ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Slower In Browser Than In The Dev IDE?
Jul 17, 2009
Ive been working on a game on and off for a while now. I've been extremely conscious with the performance because in my book a slow game is worse than no game at all. I even wrote a profiler class so I can really pinpoint any slow code. All this time Ive just been testing the game in the Flash CS3 environment by hitting CTRL+Enter. And everything runs quite smoothly.But today for the heck of it I actually published the Flash and ran it in my browser using the generated HTML file. In the browser everything runs slow as hell! The animation is extremely choppy, and sounds play up to 1 or 2 seconds later than theyre supposed to. This is absolutely unacceptable! Ive tried it in Firefox3 and Internet Explorer 7, and both are very slow compared to the Flash dev environment

I have a dashboard I created using Flash CS5 using CS5.5 and ActionScript 3.It seems that while this dashboard is running, the FPS gets slower and slower over time (over several hours) I am thinking that I might have a memory leak but I am not sure how to find out.The project is a Flash Projector exe that loads 8 independent swfs.Each swf file essentially calls a web service and gets XML dataThey then dynamically create a bunch of TextFields,assigns an event listener (Event.ENTER_FRAME) and animates across the screen.When the TextField goes off the screen, I clean up the Text field by removing the EventListenerremoving the TextField and setting the TextField to null.

Does flash go slower if it has to check on points that are for an example: 6.1873128932 versus: 6?

i am making a game involving a number of balls that move across the screen. Everything works fine and dandy when I play the SWF on its own, but when I load it into another SWF, animation become increasingly choppy with time.

I was in the middle of developing a Flex applcation, and then I recently switched from Windows XP to Mac. My app is noticeably less responsive on my Mac than on Windows, and today I proved it's not a hardware issue, because I ran the App on my Mac and a Window XP on Virtual Box side by side, and IS much more responsive on XP. Things like repainting in response to window resizing, selecting/unselecting list items, scrolling up and down(I do have complicated list-item-renderers). Has anyone seen this as well? Is flex/flash just not as well supported on Mac? Or are there tweaks I can do to improve performance on the Mac?

I created this flash object, which preloads the file on the first frame before continuing to play, yet on slower machines it moves much slower then the 30 fps it is supposed to play at. The file is 1.2 MB in size. Using actionscript 3.

I have built an application in flash, it is rather a large application that runs pretty smoothly, however it is a long list of graphs that run further than the application window so I use a vertical scrollbar and a mask to display them. The problem is everything becomes choppy the further you scroll down, any Tweens or movement and the framerate in general just appears to be much much lower.
When you get to the bottom it is unbearable although there is the same amount of movieclips and same amount of detail throughout the scroll, so I don't see why there should be this massive performance hit for going down a bit.

So i have a fake preloader going... doesnt actually preload, but just does the 'action'. my issue it gets to 100% way too fast. As its not really loading anything, how do i slow this down so its takes about 3 seconds to "complete loading?"

Im trying to write the codes for buttons that make a Square rotate faster and slower. I tried hard but it did not work.
how about a slider to control speed of the square_mc. can some1 give me the code.
this is the code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, startRotate);
function startRotate(evt:Event):void {
// Call function rotateSquare

I'm creating a flash animation in Flash.When I'm publishing it and reviewing it on my pc runs all right.But, when I'm uploading on the web it runs much slower.It's like the animation has less frames per second.Why is this happening and how could I avoid this difference in performance.

I have employed two different methods to embed an flv movie in webpage, but both result in studdering because the movie catches up to the buffer. I can't figure out what is wrong... is the frame of 30fps rate too high? is my method of embedding the files and playback wrong? Or is it just a function of the viewer's internet speed?
Method 1:
Dreamweaver > Insert Flash Video
FLV size: 13,428kb
Play time: 2:31

I have a simple application where you can sort isometric boxes on a grid. It works just fine but the more often you apply changes (i.e. click on a box and drag and drop it) the slower the app gets. After about 10 changes it has something like a 5 second delay in response and becomes completely useless.
As long as I stay on the first MOUSE_DOWN it works as fast as it should, but speed decreases with every click. Strangely CPU-levels will always return to near zero when I stop doing things in the app and always go up to the same level when working, so I do not think it that there is some procedure I call while dragging and forget to close again (I also checked this about a hundred times in the code).
Basically I think it must something with the most basic event listeners that look like this:
Code:
container.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropElement);
container.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragElement);
function dragElement(e:Event):void{
currentElement = currentDropTarget = previousDropTarget = Kiste(e.target);
currentElement.alpha = 0.5;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, whileDrag);
}function dropElement(e:Event):void{
currentElement.alpha = 1;
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,whileDrag);
}
I also checked if my "whileDrag"-function keeps running but it doesn't.

I have an issue with how Macs play timeline animation slower than PC. On the PC the animation plays right and syncs correctly with the music.
I have a tree that grows, when it finished an axe chops it. The tree finishes and the axe starts chopping the tree at exactly 30 seconds into the song which is exactly how it is meant to happen.
Syncs right on PC but on Mac, the tree finishes and the axe starts chopping at 50 seconds into the song.
During the tree animation, I also have some other swf movies loading in the background so that it is preloaded and ready to go when required because I am trying to prevent any delays or the chance of a preloader from appearing when these swf needs to start playing.
What is causing the Mac to have a slower animation. I do notice in general than Macs take longer to play an animation than PC on a browser.
Is this just natural or do you think the Mac and PC difference caused here is due to me loading swf movies into the background?
What are my options to make the sync right. I can not make the animation actionscript based, so I am stuck with timeline based animation.
I think music streaming would be the best solution here. Right now, I am triggering the music as an event, but I am worried of the stuttering effect using streaming music, while my animation plays and swfs are loading in the background and the viewer has a slow PC.

I have made a game which successfully uses SharedObject as a highscore system (if you know SharedObject, you'll know what I mean) But after the first time playing the game, when it loads the highscore using SharedObject, it goes noticablly slower My computer when new only had 1gb ram so is slow as it is. Is it just a speed issue with my computer or is this a regualar occurance?

in other words, suppose I want to send data, like text, programmatically from a Windows app (such as a browser plugin) to a Flash app running in the browser. Well, conceptually, an example of this might be a Flash instant messenger with a textbox and button "Send"; so let's say I want to be able to programmatically paste the text and press Send or otherwise activate it. That's NOT what I am trying to do here in reality (i.e., no,I am not trying to spam other people's chat rooms or anything)but just an illustration of a similar situation.I can include in it whatever widget or hack that may be necessary.The reason why this problem is arising for me is that AFAIK the SDK that is providing me the data I want cannot be directly accessed from Flash, so I need a way to pipe the data from a regular app into Flash. can I have the Flash app interact with other apps through localhost IP? Or are there draconian restrictions on which server Flash in browser can and cannot interact?

I have a PHP mailer form on my site which needs to be published in action script2 to work, but I also have a script set up to open browser windows of a certain size & location which needs actionscript 1 to work? The PHP mailer form has a "Name" field, "Email" field & "Message" field, theses can all be reset with a button. The button clears off any text in the 3 boxes to wipe them clean. The script on the reset button is:
on(release) {
_root.myForm.formNameField.txt = ""
_root.myForm.formEmailField.txt = ""[code].....
This works fine with section script 2 but not with as1. Does anyone know of a script that resets the .text field on as1 Alternatively is there any way of opening browser windows from a flash movie with browser win controls, eg. centre win, no scrollbars.

I have a Flex web application where I am visualizing data (for different countries) in the form of charts. The data is in the form of CSV files. There are individual files for individual charts i.e. one file has all data pertaining to one chart for all countries.I have a left navigation menu that allows one to see data on a country by country basis. As I view more and more countries, the web application becomes progressively slower till it freezes completely. The problem goes away if I refresh the browser and empty the cache.I am using the URLLoader class in flex to read the CSV data into a string and then I am parsing the string to generate the charts.I realize this is happening because more and more data is somehow accumulating in the browser.

I am running 3 swf files for loop. Problem is after compiling the flash file swf file is getting slower and slower after two or three loops and stopping with one content finally. I don't know why it is happening my guess is "due to memory increasing causing flash file to slower".

import flash.display.Sprite;

We have recently had to change servers for reasons beyond our control. The server we were on had limited accounts and what we are using now seems to run a little slower due to the many accounts and the volume of server traffic.Anyways, I have a couple Flash pages where customers can listen to audio clips. This is one of them:I have never had any issues with this before but on this new server, when you choose a song and click "listen", more often than not, a brief blip of the audio plays, stops for a few seconds and then resumes.This is the code I am using for the Listen button:
Code:
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("SongLists/Audio/" + _parent.selectedSong + ".mp3", true);

i am using this preloader to load load external swf files in my main.swf. it works great but it has a small issue regarding loading timing. when it gets to 100% and loads the external swf file the swf file as i suspect is loaded a little bit earlier than the % and when it shows up its already playing the 10th frame instead of the first frame. the code is below....
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha<100) {
