ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Movement Causing Flash Player Slowdown
Oct 1, 2009
I am struggling with an issue at the moment related to mouse events or more specifically mouse movement. I have found that moving the mouse in my game causes it to slow down. Rapidly moving the mouse can actually freeze the game, I believe EnterFrame events are actually dropped when the mouse is moving rapidly.
I thought at first that it must be something I coded incorrectly so I used the Flex 4 Beta's performance tools and analyzed the Flash 10 SWF that I build using Flash CS4. Mouse Events were the leading performance hog by far.
Whenever the mouse moved the CPU usage would skyrocket. I then tried an empty Flash App with no Actionscript, I had the same CPU spike.
So if I'm getting this problem with a Blank SWF how come I don't see this problem talked about all over the internet, how is every other Flash Developer not running into this problem?

I have a game that has around 400 movie clips in it and whenever I mouse over the stage the FPS drops to around 8-15. I tried setting Mouse.hide() and mouseEnabled = false but it doesn't seem to do anything

I am using Bulkloader [URL] to load in a succession of 10 images whilst the main elements of my site have already been preloaded. It is required that these images are not loaded within the preloader as they are large in size and this will increase the wait to an unacceptable level. They are not added to the display list upon succesful load but instead are added at a later time.
The problem I am having is that the menu navigation of the site is slowed down considerably and looks sluggish if the user navigates around whilst the images are being loaded in the background. Once loading stops everything is fluid and smooth. The animations are being carried out using a combination of timeline and Tweener.
Firstly, does anyone know if this is normal behaviour? I don't see why something being loaded should interfere with something moving on the screen, they are doing completely different tasks so I am a bit puzzled as to why they seem to clash.
Secondly, can anyone suggest a feasible workaround? I have been experimenting with using BulkLoader's pauseAll and resumeAll methods and have had some success by detecting mouse events and pausing/resuming as and when required, but it is proving a lot more complicated than I feel it should be, especially as I don't think loading should be affecting animation in the first place.
I have tried loading the images in one-by-one as I thought having too many connections open (apparently bulkloader can open multiple connections for faster loading) may cause some memory issue or suchlike, but that made no difference, everything is still choppy and sluggish whilst the background loader is running.

So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code].....

I am working on some particle effects, and I am experiencing noticeable slowdown anytime I move the mouse. I am not using any MouseEvents, and I even see this slowdown when the mouse is moving outside of the Flash window. Also, I only notice this slowdown when running the movie from within Flash CS3 (when I run the .swf externally, it runs flawlessly).How can I make this slowdown disappear?

I've got a flex-based swf, which is loading an AS 2-based swf and then, negotiating further activity via a LocalConnection. From time to time, the AS 2-swf can request that the flex-based swf load a movie. I've arranged this via on(release){} functions. The AS 2-swf, I'm making in Swish Max. In Swish, when I set the on (release) on a text field, (to invoke .send() on my localconnection), it works splendidly. However, when I attempt to perform the same calls for an on(release) attached to a movieclip, it actually causes the Flash player, and even the browser plugin to crash. In fact, the browser (IE) crashes as well. I checked the debug trace that ie asked me to send to microsoft at the last IE crash, and i noticed a StackOverflow exception embedded deep in the trace, but I couldn't determine its source.

Since recent versions of Flash have come out (perhaps the last few weeks), when loading up the website, [URL] , the flash loading bars show, various SWF files in their layer appear, but then when loading completes, the web page goes blank (usually black, sometimes white).
This occurs on Windoes 7 (64), Vista and XP. It occurs in IE9, IE8, and various Firefox browers. So, I am comfortable believing that it is a recent Flash player issue.
The HTML page loads a file "back.swf" which in turn loads "menu_eo.swf" in level 10 and "intro_eo.swf" into level 5.
What it looks like is that when the intro page finished loading and moves to the correct frame, the screen goes blank.
My clients rarely update their Flash Player, but I asked them to do so this morning. They had the same problem in all those other browser and operating system after updating to Flash Player 10.3.1832.5.

I'm externally loading some pretty large swfs (4MB - 5MB) into my main swf using a preloader from a tutorial on this site.
[URL]
As the swfs are loading i'm getting a pop-up window saying "A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"if i click "no" everything continues to run fine. if i click "yes" my movie freezes in the middle of loading with the progress bar stopped at whatever percentage has already loaded.After perusing the forums, it seems that an infinite loop is causing this, but I don't know enough about actionscript to track it down.
publishing as flash 6 makes it so the preloader doesn't even show up and nothing plays. I need to publish as flash player 7 or lower.what is causing this pop up window and how do i get rid of it?

I'm receiving the following error when trying to access a property of my array. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.The value I'm accessing works completely fine but the error above pops up when using the flash debug player only. My Firefox uses the flash debug player, Player Version: WIN 10,0,45,2 Debug Player: Yes. My IE which doesn't receive the error uses Player Version: WIN 10,0,45,2 Debug Player: No. The Player version info received by vising the flash version test page.
I'm using a custom event that gets dispatched from a class that makes a web service call.The web service call returns JSON data which I convert to an Object using JSON.decode from adobe corelib. After I have the Object, I use the below code to create an array from the Object.
Code:
//casts the right property to an array which has no problems
var resultArray:Array = e.object.data as Array;
//Accessing the value causes the debug player error
output_txt.text = (resultArray.length.toString());

I have created a file where I have a custom mouse cursor using the following code:
Mouse.hide(); cursor_mc.startDrag(true); I have the mouse cursor in its own layer on the main timeline. In a layer below this one I have a movieclip symbol that when clicked I want to move to frame two of its own timeline and play.
The code I use for this is inside the movieclip symbol itself and it is:
squaremc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame_2(event:MouseEvent) :void
{
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
The problem is the darn thing only works when the cursor symbol is in a layer below the movieclip on the main timeline and not in a layer above the movieclip on the main timeline. It wont even work when the custom cursor is in the same layer as the movieclip symbol.
Is there a work around to this or something else I could try. In actioscript 2.0 this never was a problem.

I have a basic movie, where on the main timeline i have a series of stops to pause the movie,so the user can choose to proceed by selecting a play button. When the play button is pressed it plays a video. While it is playing this video there is also a button on stage allowing the user to skip to a frame label. I also have drop down menu on the same frames the play button is on in the form of a movie clip.This drop down menu contains buttons which navigate to the main timeline, to different frame labels.
But after selecting a few buttions (using the menu in the movie clip or not) I get the error "'A script in this movie is causing Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.

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.

I have a mc (fStrip) which looks like a piece of filmstrip with thumbnail images in it. I want this mc to move when the users mouse is positioned over it, but I only want it to move only along it's x-axis and in a direction opposite that of the mouse. And I want it to move or flow smoothly.
I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck.
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
buffer=20 //movement buffer
mousePos=_root.fStrip._xmouse //store mouse position
if (mymouse!=_root.fStrip._xmouse){ //if the mouse has moved

I've been having a problem I've been working on for multiple hours now with no luck. I have movement bound to arrow keys and the user looks around via the mouse. When I shoot I want it to continue off in the direction it initially started, but what happens is if the user moves the mouse the bullets change directions with it.[code]...I think what is causing the problem is that when I push the bullets into the array they're all sharing the effects of the user moving the mouse instead of keeping their initial value.

By biggest problem is that when I hit a wall, my object stops moving, but the mouse arrow still moves, and it is very likely that eventually the mouse cursor will reach the limits of the screen, making it impossible to move the object to the left (assuming the cursor has hit the left side of the screen).I am now using the following scripting:
Code:
function Start()

Im looking for a quick solution (if its out there) using the autohide feature using the FLV Playback Component.
Current situation: Using ActionScript 2. The FLV component fills the stage. Autohide is set to true.
It looks to me that since the video fills the stage, the skin will not hide. What I would like to do is have the skin fade out if the mouse doesnt move for a certain period of time.

I'm trying to make a dummy from a circular menu that reacts (rotate) to mouse movement, I uploaded a fla example, different colors, size, etc, but essentially the same in
function; but for now I'm freezed how to do somethings, I'm not a programer or actionscripter, but I want to learn.Currently using CS3 and AS2, downloading the FLA example may help.
Ok, in the "fla", you will see a circle who rotates versus mouse movement (I would like to make a delay rotation for a smooth feelling when mouse is moving, those like "_x += (_xmouse/5)" but with rotation. Other thing I would like to do,is... that the movement stops progressively a few degrees before the mouse reach de cian angles(a1,a2), and then, the circles doesn't move if the mouse is moving under those angles, like a... an inactive area(U1), and if it could work with instances.

P.S. In the 2nd website there's a 3d character also which I don't have in my project so there's nothing to worry about 3d in flash. I've just couple of images & text

I'd like to control a mc movement on_x direction (or _y) when the mouse mouves horizontaly (or verticaly). So when I mouve the mouse to the right the mc mouves to the lefht and it mouves to the right when the mouse moves to the lefht. It's for a window effect.
