We have alredy made a game at 1024x768 (iPhone2 max resolution) and it runs ok, maybe with a little hiccup here and there. But we really want to make a more complex game next time, and performance is a big concern.What resolution (in pixels) should we use for an iPad/iPhone game? does it have an actual impact on overall performance?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently working on an Adobe AIR application which is targeting the iPad2 as the hardware platform, and can not get decent scrolling performance on one of the screens. I'm using a spark list, with a custom item renderer like so:
<s:List id="productList" top="116" bottom="0" left="10" right="10"
width="100%"
visible="true" includeInLayout="true"
height="0"
[code]....
As you can see this is pretty light-weight, yet my dataprovider contains upwards of 100 items, and 11 of them can be on screen at any one time. Everything I've read around increasing performance for scrolling revolves around using opaqueBackground and cacheAsBitmap, however no matter what I try neither help here. Using cacheAsBitmap at the list level doesn't help as the item renderer recycling kicks in once you've scrolled more than a couple of lines requiring the whole thing to be re-rendered, and using it at the item renderer level is still horribly slow when scrolling fast — presumably because many are being recycled at once during a very fast scroll.
I know the iPad should have no problem blitting a screenful of information in a frame at 60 fps, yet when I scroll quickly I'm seeing it struggle to make 10 fps (from sight). So the question: have I missed something obvious, or is this to be expected due to the number of layers (and vector rendering) involved when using AIR? For the record, I have tried changing the render mode for the application and tried changing the frame rate to eliminate the obvious.
I�m building an iPad 2 app with Flash with ActionScript 3 (Adobe CS5.5), what I want to do is to wrap my two sections of the video (h264) inside the final app? I do not want to stream the video or load it external, "I need it to be included in the app locally" (inside the final package)!I need it to be in one application, to upload to the iTunes Store/Google market�
PS like to do the same with Android, the package (apk) no stream video.
I want to know is there anyway to invisible title bar for a AS3 project? and how to force program to use fix resolution and change monitor resolution to what we want?
View 1 RepliesI am going to develop a very simple game for android and for iphone/ipad I have the option to develop it in cocos2d or in adobe flash air (i am not a developer, but i have 2 developers who are offering me the service)I have a developer that states that cocos2d is better and other one that states that adobe flash air.I want it in cross platform.the cost offered by both developers is the same..i have heard that adobe air has the flaw that it is very slow, is this real? if you had the 2 options which will you use to develop your game and why?

I have to build the game where there could be different number of tiles on screen. 32, 48, 64 , 80, 96, 112 and so on Now I have questions regarding the levels of blocks in this game. I mean the layouts of the game should be predefined or they should be dynamically created? Also I wanted to know how the surface of enable and disable symbols are created?

View 1 Repliesim trying to create a tamagotchi game type game. For some reason i can not add any items to the stage.Currently i have imported 2 png images to the stage and coverted them to movie clips. One is called TamagotchiCharacter and the other is called Beer. I have also created a new 2 AS3.0 script class called TamagotchiGame and DraggableItem. The following is TamagotchiGame:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class TamagotchiGame extends MovieClip {
[code]....
I have assigned the above code as the BaseClass of the Beer symbol, this has allowed the beer to become draggable and droppable etc.when i run the program nothing happens, i just get a blank white screen.
It's about the "Game Character Dialogues", It is used to instruct the user what to do, like what you see in BookWorm or Diner DAsh.I used dynamic text fields to generate these dialogues,but as I continued doing it. I found myself stuck.I have no idea on how to change the words when the "next" button is clicked. there will be no previous button. but the dialogue will replay when the character is clicked.

View 1 RepliesI am working with some images in my flash file which I would like to have at a high resolution (approx 1280X1024 px or even higher) so that they look good when they take up a full screen, and also when I zoom IN on them.
However, when I import them into flash at this size, they look TERRIBLE when zoomed OUT (eg. to 15%). They look fine in photoshop at this size.
How did they make that border to wrap around any resolution? make my images from my XML gallery to not become pixelated when it loads in full-screen.
View 3 RepliesI'm going to be creating a Flash presentation that will run on a flatscreen TV at a trade show. I'm not certain what resolution to set up my Flash movie to. The TV is a widescreen Panasonic 42" TH42PH10BK with 1024 x 768 pixels, however when I set my animation to those values it looks 'squarer' than the TV. It looks like I need to set up the animation to a different resolution, but I don't know which!
View 4 Repliesmy problem is related to website resolution problem i develop a drop down menu from a software "flash menu lab". Then i embed it on a web page, it correctly show in 1024*768. but when i go to high resolution it does not move width automatically it show menu similar to 1024*768 i hope you got my problem...! remember i fixed width to 100% but it is not working...! this is my code
[Code]...
I'd like to know where to look for documentation on how to make elements that adjust to the site resolution, or what this technique is called.
Like in here (the floating clip on the left upper corner, there is a menu divided into 2 parts like float:left and :right (like I would make this in css))
[URL]
Basically I'd need a menu always aligned to the bottom-center of the page that won't change the size, but the background always stretched proportionally to the width of the page upon resizing.
what would be the right resolution and format to create a flash as a tv commercial?

I have published my Flash site to the web server but I notice that it doesn't display correctly in smaller resolutions (I think the smallest it looks best in is 1024 x 768)... the bottom keeps getting cut off when viewed in any small resolution.

Is there any way to get rid of them, either use a differet bit of code or possible can AS, change the resolution of the screen to the req. and change it back on close?
