Apr 29, 2009i have a swf with several processor intensive subroutines within a main init() routine at start up (about a 5 secs startup wait). it needs a preloader not due to asset loads but to the processor intensive routines.i'm trying to create a preloader that will display progress as the routines complete but when i try to write text to text field as each subroutine completes either the textField.text is not updated or the text field display is not updated after each subroutine finishes.this prevents me from tracking the progress of the start up.
is there a way to force an update to the display list in the middle of a processor intensive routine? i believe flash is supposed to update after each frame but i'm not seeing this.also, the text field i'm displaying *before* this processor intensive routine *does* display when running locally but *does not* display before the routine when running online.not sure why.
Flex :: Optimization - Throttle A CPU Intensive Loop In Adobe?
Aug 17, 2011I have a method, which connects to a HTTP server and requests via XMLRPC, a list of data structures and then for each data structure gets a list of attributes and the values of those attributes. It's implemented using nested for each loops.
The problem is that it's loading a lot of data all at once, and consuming a massive amount of CPU (over 100%) reading responses from the server and parsing the XML.
If I were writing the program in C, I'd insert a usleep() at the end of the loop, to wait before trying to load more data and reduce CPU usage. What would the equivalent be in Flex?
ActionScript 2.0 :: CPU Intensive Loop "abort The Script..." - Prevent The Pop Up?
Dec 21, 2004I have a very CPU intensive loop that lasts for about 30 secs sometimes more.
The loop is very well controlled and ALWAYS terminates correctly after the solution is found. It cannot hang.
The problem is that the very annoying dialog "do you want to abort the script" pops up in the middle of the loop. It really screws up the the interface as the users thinks the machine has hung. Is there any way to prevent the pop up?
Actionscript 3.0 :: Build A Specialized Word Processor - "Error #1009: Cannot Access A Property Or Method Of A Null Object Reference??
Dec 23, 2010I am trying to build a specialized word processor using Flash CS5 and I'm having some problems because I am new to this. I draw an editable TLF textfield instance on the fla file and name it "input". Then on the actionscript file I've been trying to change the properties of the textfield by writing:
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
textFormat.color = 0x4444FF
textFormat.size = 18;
input.setTextFormat(textFormat);
but I get this error: "Error #1009:Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. " My plan is to setup different allignments and fonts into different textFormat objects and then have to those textFormat objects get applied to different lines of the textfield depending on user input.Is this possible to do? Or is there a better way?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Syntax Object Reference In Loop Takes 4 Seconds To Run?
Nov 9, 2010Can anyone tell me why the following is taking 4 seconds for Flash to execute:
_moleHoles = new Array();
var countingMoleHoles:Boolean = true;
var holeCount:int = 0;
[Code].....
There are 9 object on the stage (but this number could go up or down, that is why I'm dynamically grabbing these this way). So in my test case, this loop runs 10 times.
I have narrowed it down to something to do with the following line:
if (this['moleHole' + holeCount])
Is using dynamic (array syntax) object lookup that much of a performance hit?
ActionScript 2.0 :: OnResize CPU Intensive?
Jul 10, 2007I've made a flash file which contains the following:backgroundMC (consist of vector art made in illustrator and imported)holderMC (loads an external swf which contains my game)I want the background to scale when the Stage get resized so I used the following code as everyone else does:
ActionScript Code:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "LT";[code]....
Then if I resize my window the backgroundMC doesn't, because the listener isn't active anymore... Is there a way to resolve this? .I want my Stage to resize the backgroundMC, but without causing my game.swf (which is dynamicly loaded) to run slow...
IDE :: Making Perlin Noise Less CPU Intensive?
Feb 5, 2009Lately I have been trying to animate the water surface giving it more natural look by use of Perlin noise. But it seems it is very CPU intensive operation.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Algebraic Or Trigonometric Functions More Computationally Intensive?
Feb 27, 2011I'm not certain that there's a set answer to that question, so let me give you a more specific example: In my current code, I can solve a problem one of two easy ways: either by using three algebraic functions (one square root and two squares) or by using three trigonometric functions (one atan2, one cos, and one sin). And then I potentially repeat the code for several hundred iterations.
I'm curious if one set of functions is any more efficient than the other, if they're fairly similar, or if there may be a set of higher-order functions I'm missing that can do these kinds of computations much more easily.(For some more specifics, if you're interested: given a line between any two points, I want to find a new point along that line that's a set distance from one of the other two points.)
ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] Processor Usage Optimization?

ActionScript 3.0 :: CPU Intensive Animation - Get These Huge Animations To Run In The Background Smoothly?
Jan 24, 2009So I'm building a music site for a client, he's got a record theme so I thought it would be cool to build the site to look like a big turn table with all the content on the record.the record is designed to spin (not as disorienting as you'd think, just the grooves spin)...but the record image, which I did in Photoshop, is huge.
It was just slowing things down to a near crawl in browser. So I split the record image into four pieces and then mirrored them to get the full piece of the pie. It worked, but it's still running slightly slow. I do have a couple of blending options set to act as lights over the record...I tried deleting them to see if it would run faster, it's still jumpy. When the record is not moving(there's a button to turn it off) everything runs smoothly. The entire move is about 300k in file size and the record is being animated via actionscript.How do some of these bigger sites get these HUGE animations to run in the background so smoothly?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Recording A Graphics Intensive SWF As A Video Format Runtime SWF?
Mar 24, 2010What options are available for recording a graphics intensive SWF as a video format such as MOV, MPEG, or others. I have created an interactive SWF and would like to capture video of it so that I can share it in different formats. I have used some free screen capture software before, but am not sure it is the best choice since maintaining the frame rate is important. Worst case scenario, I could just eliminate user interaction and automate the input...

When setting visible to false, it seems to me that a few extra variables would need to be stored for the movie clip..._x, _y, _width, _height, _alpha, etc., etc., etc...but I wasn't sure how Flash goes about handling these things or which was better practice?

View 11 RepliesProfessional :: Small Tween Causing Major Lag / Processor Usage?
Nov 15, 2011i've got a pretty small (in my opinion) usage of motion tween on the following site: [URL]
the circles are moving around and rotating.. not that big of a deal compared to many much more flash intensive websites that i've seen.
on a few computers i've viewed the website on, this page slows down the rest of the computer, the circles move real choppy, etc so it's very taxing on the computer/processor. making this a less intense flash tween? is it something that i'm overlooking or is what my flash file is doing truly that difficult for a computer/browser to process?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Test Processor Implications Of Ever-increasing Movieclip Width?

2) Is there any way to test the processor in such a situation to make sure that things aren't undermining performance?[code]...
Actionscript 3 :: Javascript Implement Math Functions Using Its Own Algorithms Or Outsource To Cpu/processor?
Nov 20, 2011ActionScript3 states the following:
Note: The Math functions acos, asin, atan, atan2, cos, exp, log, pow, sin, and sqrt may result in slightly different values depending on the algorithms used by the CPU or operating system. Flash runtimes call on the CPU (or operating system if the CPU doesn't support floating point calculations) when performing the calculations for the listed functions, and results have shown slight variations depending upon the CPU or operating system in use.
My web application works with very large and small numbers that I suspect may see a difference depending on which machine is running it (especially with mobile devices whose processors aren't as powerful as desktop machines'). My question is, is this behavior a function of the language?
That is, I assume some languages implement their own algorithms for the above functions, and so may be more consistent (except for differences in round-off errors introduced by the choice of processor/CPU that would exist for all languages).
Anyone know if Javascript has it's own algorithms, or does it outsource them to the CPU/processor like ActionScript?
