ActionScript 3.0 :: Running Slowly - Should I Use Multiple SWFs?
May 7, 2010
I have a fairly large flash movie with over 3000 frames set to 30fps with several videos as backgrounds, some special effects libraries, sound effects, music, voice, and a reasonable amount of tweening going on. Some of the scenes are running a bit slowly, particluarly during scene transitions when new sounds, voice, music and videos come in.question: is it better to split this up into many swfs and then make a flash file that plays each one? How should I be organizing it?
If so, what code do I use to play multiple swfs and how do I load one from my setup screen out of order (In my setup screen, I let the user start playing at any scene they like). I have 7 "scenes". I use quotes because they are not actual scenes (which even Adobe recommends against and I'm unsure why... - if you know, tell me?). My scenes are simply delineated by placing Labels along the timeline.

I have a main interface which loads up a series of animated .swfs, one after the other into an empty movie clip, under a mask layer on my main timeline.My problem is with the loaded swfs running really slowly. Without them being loaded into the interface, they run fine, as I have tested them online.But once they are within the interface, they run really slowly, especially when the redraw regions are biggest.
I'm just using
loadMovie("FirstMovie.swf", "_root.empty_mc");
In my main timeline to load the first movie, then
this.loadMovie("SecondMovie.swf");
...on the final frame of the first movie, and so on.As you can see, I havent put any numbers or channels in, as I'm not sure how they work. Could this be why my swfs are running so slow?

I have made a simple animation in Flash and the i exported into a swf. The problem is, that the movie is running slow, jerky or in other words is playing in slow motion. I have changed the frame rate but with luck, is there a problem with video player/codec?
*Edit1: the clip doesn't have any code, is hand drawing on 6 layers; also when i import this movie in Adobe Premier and the export in .avi the jerky effect disappears.[Url]

I've almost finished a website for a client, this is my first as3 project.
The website runs pretty slowly, As3 code should run 100 times faster then as2 code.[url]...

I am having a problem with loading external swf's. The external swf's when loaded.....run very very slow; sometimes unresponsive as if there is a script running in the background. I'm using keyboard commands to navigate through the screens - e.g.:
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndStop("scene02", "firstframeLabel");
}

I am currently working on a flash website for a client, I am a PHP and Csharp developer and am reasonably new to flash/ActionScript 3. The website has a video gallery with 10 thumbnails, when one is clicked the specific video is loaded into an FLVPlayback component.
The problem I am having is that on slower internet connections the site and videos are running really slowly and even occasionally getting stuck and crashing! Currently there is no preloader for the site as a whole but I have a preloader for each video, a loading animation is played until the FLVPlayback component has loaded 50% of the video in, then it plays. I also set the bufferTime of the FLVPLayback component to 10 which seemed to help the stuttering sound.
The flvs are reasonably large some a few hundred MB, is there a way to optimize flash websites or does anyone have any tips on how to make the site and videos run smoother on slower connections, bearing in mind on my fast internet connection at home the site works well.

I'm going some genetic algorithms in Flash, and just wondering if there is any way to get rid of that stupid pop up. You know the script is running slow one, that pops up after 15secs because it ASSUMES your in a stuffed loop.I think the amount of times I go through loops in 38000. Thats with 50 Generations and 100 Population.

I am loading multiple .swfs into multiple .swfs, but the .swf are never being properly unloaded. I thought they were unloading until I started monitoring my Page File Usage and seeing it increase everytime I loaded another external swf.
In using this function to load my content, what would be the proper way/function to unload the content?

Im sure there is a simple way to do this, but it's been driving me nuts for days now.I am trying to loop through all the data in my xml file, thats no problem, however I need to read the data three times for the menu I am building. Is there a simple way to do this? Basically I want to take the first set of results, then add on the second then the third. So I will end up with a list of data three times what is actually contained in the xml doc.

I'm using the MovieClipLoader class to create a function that builds a preloader for external stuff. I need it to be global so I can call on it wherever in the movie, and I need it to be self contained so the MovieClipLoaders don't cross each other if multiple are running. The below code worked until I made it "_global" and placed everything into the one function.

I have a question regarding httpstreaming we have fms running with multiple smaller mp4 files about 50 MB in size. When played they start playing immediatly but still are cached/downloaded in directory C:Documents and SettingsUsernameLocal SettingsTemp of the clients
Now we have issues with a large file of 890 MB, which is not being played, clients need to download this complete file to play it. Does the streamingpart doesn't work well on our server?
Please help since we getting a lot of complaints from viewers. Running FMS 4.0.3 on CENTOS 5.7 64 Bit
What can i check besides the forums regarding dynamic httpstreaming

I have to create an app for iOS from an existing Flash project. On the stage of the main flash multiple swfs are loaded dynamically . Is it possible to compile, in addition to the main file, all the other swfs too? If I load the swf in the "Included files on Setting AIR for IOS menu, they are copied as swf, making impossible to use the app on iPad.

Does anyone know of a way (e.g. similar to those of which allows my swf to be divided into multiple swf based on the frames? So if the swf is 10 frames long, there will be 10 SWFs, each one containing a frame.

I want to convert a pdf magazine into multiple swfs (one for each page), so I can use them in a page flip application. swf because then the user can soom and vector stays vector so when zoomed the quality stays the same. I can't export to swf in acrobat.

What I have is a SWF that loads multiple smaller SWFs into an array and then uses buttons to switch between them in a movie clip container on the stage.
Everything works when I pub my main SWF and even when I run it in a browser from my desktop.
When I upload to the server and try to run it online, I run into this problem. All the SWFs load, but only the last one to load actually plays in the container. The others seem to be stuck in frame 1.
The clips have no code in them, they are simple animations. And if I change the load order, still only the last clip plays. So I know it isn't the SWFs causing the problem. I am locked into using IE 8 and the flashplayer is version 10.3.
Anyone know of any issues with IE 8 or a reason that only the last file loaded would play?
here is my code, but as I said it seems to work fine until I run it online.
Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
[Code].....

I'm having a heck of a time trying to get a number of external SWFs loaded into one main SWF in successive order, the next one playing after the other has ended. To complicate matters, the external SWFs have FLV files in them.
using Flash CS3
Actionscript 3.0
So, here's essentially what I'm looking to do: - I have one main SWF file (call it main.swf)- load several SWF files into this file so they play in order (let's call them movie1.swf, movie2.swf, movie3.swf, and so on) - these external SWF files all have FLV progressive downloads (not embedded, becuase then my audio doesn't sync up) - I want movie1.swf to load and play in the main file, then detect when the movie is complete, and unload that audio/video then load in movie2.swf, and so on.
This script seemed promising, but loads all of my SWFs on top of each other, making for some ::interesting:: audio... (i have it pasted in actions on first frame in main.swf)
var a:Array = new Array("movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf");var tl:MovieClip=this
var index:uint=0;
loadF(new Event("nada"));
[Code]....
Maybe there's some code that can be pasted in the individual SWFs?

I have a fla file that has a hardcoded variable which is used to validate that a user has permission to run the swf.The variable hold the number of days from the start of the year. If the current date is later - the swf will not play.I need to generate mutliple swfs each with a different day-code (possibly 100s). Apart from editing the .fla and publishing each time,is there any other method of doing this. For example, the code being read form a file and built into to the swf when publishing.

how to load external swf files(9) into my master.swf file one after the other. This is the Actionscript i have written so far.....(AS2)

var myListener:Object = new Object();[code].......
The first swf loads alright into my master swf but i can't for the life of me work out how to load the rest after each one has finished loading. Don't know if i need a for loop or what?

I have a project that loads SWFs as "slides". I'm running into a problem where I have some very large SWFs that use shared resources within each other. I would prefer not to post my source (because there is a TON of it ...if you've worked with SCORM, you know), but basically, the project is setup to use a "master" SWF to load in children SWFs. Those children SWFs can be quite large due to one specific symbol in the libraries that each share. This symbol is about 5MB in size and is used in several of the "slides". I want to be able to load this symbol into memory and use it across all the slides that need it so the user doesn't have to download tons of 5+MB files.
I am able to create a movieClipLoader object and a container for the object and load the SWF that is just the symbol object I need to share. I am attempting to put it in the _global namespace for use later. When I do this though, the library seems to switch to this new loaded SWF (this shared object) and I cannot access the library objects from the parent slide. So, the slide that is using this shared symbol must load up, start to download the SWF for shared use, then it must be able to load objects from it's own library to continue on. Maybe I'm going about this all wrong, but when I have several SWFs that all use this shared symbol, and I have to compile that symbol into each SWF, it only hurts the user that has to download all these large SWFs.

I have a page that can be seen here: [URL]
As you should be able to see, it seems as though the Flash file on the left is causing the one on the right to reload upon final loading. The one on the right will reload itself once the one on the left finishes loading.
I have tested the flash files by themselves and both load only once when loaded by themselves. It seems as though one is causing the other to re-load which is just mind boggling to me.

I was wondering if someone could help me. I've spent months looking for an AS2 preloader that does the following:
1. Preloads multiple external swf files into a single movie holder.
2. Starts automatically preloading once the parent file is launched.
3. Contains a progress bar with % downloaded.
4. Can be placed on a "Preload" scene.
Working on the file in Flash CS3, AS2. I've looked at tutorials, scanned the web, etc. And I still can't find the right one, or even how to make one.

I am trying to figure out how to read an XML file containing a list of the swfs I want to import, pause for 8 seconds to allow the swf to run and then continue the loop with the next swf.I am reading the XML correctly but I am having an issue creating the timer to pause the for loop for 8 seconds between slide.

I'm kinda stuck on a project I'm working on and need some guidance. I've been making educational Flash Videos and all the lessons. Each lesson is it's own SWF. I know how to make each SWF into it's own AIR application, but don't know how to get all of them into one AIR application.
Basically I'd like to create an Interface like this:http://bit.ly/h9OKPH Where I have a menu screen where you have all the lessons. When you click on a lesson it will take you to another frame and load the SWF for that lesson. I know I can import all the SWFs into a new Flash File, and then publish an Air Application, but I was hoping for a less time consuming and more resource efficient way to do so (I want the app to be optimized for speed).
