ActionScript 3.0 :: Optimizing Code Button Array
Nov 16, 2009
[code]I'm pretty sure I could just run a for loop and add the listeners and settings for each button that way, but what would it take to do this, if the buttons are added on the stage's timeline, they're not added via actionscript.Should I just create an array in AS with each name as an object in the array? [code]Or should I add the dynamic text field inside of the button MovieClip and just change the text to "A", "B", "C" etc in the For loop, as well as setting the mouseEnabled property to false? That way, I don't even need the buttonText array at all.

I have written a small bit of actionscript code which is designed so that small objects fly across a window from left to right at varying speeds, and then get moved back again with different attributes once they reach the right edge. The code is fully functional.My problem is that this eats a huge amount of system resources, and runs slowly on a 1Ghz machine. Is there a more efficient way to achieve this?

I'm trying to take into account the Garbage Collector (GC), so I decide to optimize this code:[code]For instance, is it useful to put "xmlOne = null" in every iteration? I'm checking with the Flashdevelop's profiler, but I don't see the difference.maybe, I can also reuse the item object rather than creating it every time, right?

Considering we have already done the following actions:
Flex Framework as RSL
Compiling with debug=false
Loading most images at runtime
Drawing other simple images with flash draw features
[code].....
We believe we spent a lot of time into asset optimization and most of the work is remaining on the code.By analyzing our link-report, our guess is that the heavy part of the code is comming from Flex .mxml nested components. We don't think there is much to do on our pure AS classes.Is there any analysis or coding best practice in order to reduce the impact of the code on the swf filesize ?

I have two mc's on the stage, the first one is called missiles and the second one is called boxes. So accordingly I put boxes in the boxes mc and missiles in the missiles mc. My problem is how to detect whether any of the missiles collide with boxes and make damage to the box.
I am using simple and effective algorithm which works but it is very slow when there are many missiles and boxes on stage. I am using two nested "for" cycles which is a bad practice, but I don't have other idea at the moment.
Here is the code
public function onEnterFrame(e:Event) {
for(var i:int=0;i<ground_mc.boxesLayer_mc.numChildren;i++){
mc1=ground_mc.boxesLayer_mc.getChildAt(i);
for(var j:int=0;j<ground_mc.bmLayer_mc.numChildren;j++){
[code].....
Are there other techniques to solve this problem. I have already tried to add detection code in every missile but it is also slow with "for".

I'm getting this error all of a sudden when I try to compile my flash file.
"5005: Unknown error optimizing byte code."[URL]Which seems to work for most people, but I am still getting this error. I'm also getting this message in the output window:"ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable ComponentShim is not defined."It started happening after I created a new .as file that is about 43kb (holds data for a game level).

5005: Unknown error optimizing byte code. I just got this error for the first time today on a project I've been building for over a year. The really weird part is, it happens about half the times I compile it, with no changes to the code. It first cropped up when I made a change to a class that extends Loader:
[Code]...
I added a feature that checks whether the content is a Bitmap or a MovieClip, since prior to this my class was only used for quick-loading images, but now I've got a need to load MovieClips with it as well. But since the compiler error only happens half the time, I'm wondering if this has anything to do with it. I'm wondering if the logic board in my laptop is going, at this point. Has anyone run into this error before?

I'm posting regarding a small app I'm working on that basically allows a grid of particles to be manipulated based on the mouse position. It is fairly primitive in its ideas, but I thought it would be a good test of my newly acquired actionscripting knowledge! It runs on the basic idea that (when clicked) a force is applied to a particle (movieclip instance). The force is inversely proportional to it's distance.
A loop goes through all the particles in the grid (a 1 dimensional array) and calculates this force, changes the velocity, and then the position. This happens every frame for every particle. At about 10,000 particles however I notice a huge decrease in fps. I know what you're thinking, its because of the amount of particles! However, I thought that the performance of the app would be directly affected by the processing power. Considering my itouch can easily handle about 8000 particles I'm guessing my pc should be able to handle 10000 particles a lot better.

how to write a actionscript code for a button when the button is clicked it should move to the nextframe.
// About and smile1 button scripts

if (mouse_over_smile1) {
[code]....
i have given 3 functions as onEnterFrame,onPress,onRelease. i tried all these but didnt get the result.smile1,smile2,smile3 are button instances which are declared on the monie clip.my main thing is i hav a button, when i click on that button it should go the next frame which i have declared in "gotoAndPlay(6)" method.

I have issues with the buttons working from the SWF file which is brought into the main flash site via UILoader.
[Code]...
I gathered that it is most probably due to the fact that I have constructed a button in the improper way.I tried to redo a button but it was the same result.I would like to try to access it through the main timeline. What would be the whole block of code to put a function on the button located inside an external SWF which is called in via a UILoader?

I have an as3 app which utilises an sqlite db to save metrics data. It is well known that as3 is single threaded, so when I save to this db, the Stage Video I am playing becomes jumpy! I have heard that saving db data in batches can speed up this process so I save in a loop:
for (var i:int=0; i < metricsObject.metricsComponentData.length; i++){
switch (metricsObject.metricsComponentData[i].mouseType) {
case MetricsCollator.MOUSE_OVER:
this._query_txt = "INSERT INTO " + this._tablePath[0] + " VALUES (null, " + this._sessionID +
[code]...
I have looked into pseudo threading examples but they all require a sprite or stage instance, the class I am executing this code in, is not a display class, I don't really want to pass an instance of the stage into this class.

It seems to me everytime I export a PSD design into flash the images come out a little pixelated. Granted I do use 72 dpi though I thought that was the webstandard. By using flash can I use higher dpi images? Or is there another method I should be using instead of the direct import to lirbary?

Some AS operations are more CPU intensive than others. What are good ways to compare operations so that I can see for myself how demanding something is? Are there built-in AS3 methods for tracing system use or CPU use? Are there non-flash tools that people use?

I have created a X-mas card for my company. When the card opens, the 3 circles are buttons to different scenes within Flash. The text in the bottom left is a button to the final scene.
The card can be viewed here: [URL]
1) When I click on the circle button that has the red garland and tree ornaments in it, if you listen close at the very beginning of the scene, a squeek sound plays. I use this squek sound in the hamster wheel movie symbol used in other scenes, but not in this scene. I don't even have the sound in this scene of the Flash project anywhere. I can not figure out where it is coming from.
2) Does anyone have some optimization tips? My project file is huge and a lot of the people we will be sending this out to probably don't have the most up-to-date processers. Should I split each scene into it's own Flash movie that is only loaded when the button for that scene is selected instead of the whole thing loading?
Here is a link to view the .FLA file: [URL]

I'm working on a flash website that consists of 3 frames (1 = preloader, 2 = instances of symbols, 3 = the main page/view). I've gone through and optimized all my static bitmaps/movieClips and removed any symbol that I've exported for ActionScript from exporting in the first frame. Even after all these steps frame one is still the longest to load (797kb on a 32.6 kbps simulated download), only showing the preloader when the whole file is at 86% complete. Any further steps to take to get frame one's size down?

I've got this simple GUI that has a search box and a couple result fields for "Word" and "Definition"...I've also got an XML file with about 800 or so terms and definitions.Currently the flash works just fine, it reads in the XML glossary, splits it into a word array and definition array and when I search through it, it creates a List filled with terms that match the string that I search for. We wanted it to update the list of possible matching terms each time you changed the search term: a, ap, app, appl, apple... etc.
Everything works, its just incredibly slow when you throw 800 terms at it to search through.I was wondering if anyone could either optimize my search somehow, show me another way of doing it.Here is the code pulled from the whole GUI.
ActionScript Code:
var glossary_xml:XML;
var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("glossary.xml");[code].........

It uses bitmap data to draw each frame of the video, which is streamed using the netstream class. My question is - how can I optimise the speed at which it plays? It plays fine when the stage is small, but when on full screen it starts to get jerky.

My app draws a handful of very large Shapes to the screen very frequently. I've already implemented some logic to reduce that frequency in certain situations, but I'm wondering whether there is anything else I can do.My Shapes' graphics are basically rectangles with BitmapData fills. (Smoothing's turned off.) I can use some simple logic to find the regions where their boundary rectangles intersect the Stage. If I redraw my Shapes' graphics so that they only draw to those intersections, will my app take less time to render?

I am trying to automate the loading process of mp3's into the soundList array... I tried it this way and for some reason it is not working. But logically it appears that this should work. The goal is to use a for loop and load 24 mp3 files labeled Bds1.mp3, Bds2.mp3, etc... Bds24.mp3. When I do a trace on new_String it does populate Bds1.mp3-Bds24.mp3. Just does not load the mp3's into the array.
var soundList:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i < 25; i++) {
var new_String:String = new String();[code]....
