I'm always checking this nice forum since I started to learn AS3 2 months ago It was always helpful and I learned a lot I'm making a simple game but I'm stuck I finished the game but at certain stage the SWF file become slow I don't know why
View 6 RepliesI have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?
View 2 RepliesI have a game loop written in Haxe/Flash. For some reason it slows down over time. At first it runs reasonably, but my laptop fan starts spinning up and it gets slower and slower. Why would this happen?

Without adjusting the fps how would I slow down an object that I have rotating CW 1 time?
View 4 RepliesWe've been trying every trick to fix a problem with long lag time in video startup in some environments. In particular, there's a long time gap between the time the custom .swf skin appears and the video starts to play. Only some combinations of OS for the FMS server and client browser shows the problem, but for those combinations it is consistent and appears to be a constant of approximately 59 seconds, regardless of the length of .mp4 or number of times played in our custom .swf. (Our .swf accepts a supplied file location for the .mp4 to stream.)
On our main server (Win2008R2), we run a virtual machine that has Win2008R2 installed. If you click on the video URL from a Mac Safari browser on MacBookPro, the load is FAST (a few seconds). On the other hand if you click from IE on any Windows machine (VM or native, Win7 or WinX), the load is SLOW (one minute). If you try locally on the server virtual machine with the FMS and web server (IIS) installed, the load is also SLOW. The reference flash video (i.e. NOT through our .swf) loads FAST. [code]...
basically the AI players make their call/raise/fold decisions at the speed of light and I want to slow them down for a custom length of time before they act. Ideally what I would like is a prototype that I could call with a custom time length and it would count that long before executing their actions e.g.
if(plyr1_condition1 && plyr1_condition2){
wait(5);
execute actions

I have made a scene with a flv in it. The problem is that when I first run my scene the flv plays slow, then when I have played thru it and starts at the beginning again it plays in the speed I want it to. I would really like it to play in normal speed first time as well.
View 3 RepliesCalling RemoteObject service for creating new record. On success of method I am adding new record in existing list collection.

For first call it takes 3-4 seconds while for 5 on words it takes 10 secs and so on. If I remove addItem(obj) line in below code in green, response time is quiet stable 4-5 seconds.

Some stuff is as fast as before, like scrubbing and playing and applying a tween.But other, simple stuff, like selecting frames, adding frames - regular or key - takes 2-5 seconds each. Really anything with the timeline is slow. This happens especially with long movies (1.5 minutes - 2500 frames). Which shouldn't matter. I had movies 5 minutes long working fine.
View 21 RepliesI have Flash CS3 installed (windows) I have two images, I shape tween from one to the other.
The .fla file is 15MB in size, and the .swf is 800kb,
My problem is that, even though I've set the animation to run at 30fps, I barley manage more than 1.4fps a second, it should take 5seconds to complete, yet its taking 140seconds.
I have a 2GHZ dual core PC, with 2GB RAM,
I want it to be a smooth transition.
I did a flash application that has a login form in flash, and authenticates in php. That was 3 months ago, and the sending requests and response is very fast -- that is, when i click submit button, within 3 - 5 seconds it will have a response from php.
Recently, I did another login in flash, using similar code as I previously have done. Now, the sending request and respond is very long, each time the server may take up to 10 seconds to respond. Why is it taking so long yet the previous one is fast?
Same host, same php files, similar swf (not much changes in swf).
I found this, but got no idea how to slow it down:
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myTextLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE,onLoaded);
function onLoaded (e:Event):void {
tekstbx.text = e.target.data;
tekstbx.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME,efh);
I have a Wordpress website located here: http:[url]....I'm trying to figure out why the page loads slow - I'm almost sure it has to do with Flash and size of images, plus rotating banner. I don't know how to edit or fix the problem though. So the question is: What is causing my website to load slow, and what EXACT steps can I take to fix the problem.I've already tried adjusting some of the browser ActiveX filters and other temp fixes, but that is not the proper solution. If this is a flash or image loading issue, can you tell me the EXACT step in how to edit these issues?

View 0 RepliesI am testing a swf on my MAC Intel 2.6ghz duo-core with Firefox and am averaging 20 - 25 FPS. When i test the same swf on Firefox via VMware running Windows XP it is averaging 10 - 15 FPS. Does anyone know if it's VMWare that's causing the slowdown or is it Firefox on Windows that could be the problem?
View 2 RepliesI've been working on a game for a while now, just to realize now that flash is too damn slow to handle it. Wtf...
It relies heavily on particle emitters. I have an array of about 20 objects at any point in time on screen. And another with around 5-600. I'm using BitmapData.hitTest on each of the 20 against each of the 5-600 every frame. If it's only a few hundred it's fine, but upwards it just slows down. A lot. There has to be a way to optimize this. I don't understand how flash can handle something like away3D or all of the great 2d physics engines out there just fine, but not this..
is there a way to speed up flash movies playing when put up on the web. I created a web banner and uploaded it, when I open the website on the browser the flash movie pauses for a few minutes and does not play straight away. Is there any actionscript that will ensure the flash movie will play instantly when on the web? Is it the file size that is causeing the swf to run slower? Is it anything to do with the publish settings in the fla file?

View 1 RepliesI'm using Vista 64 on a more then adequate laptop, I initially used Flash CS4 and it was great for the past week but a few days ago it started geting really slow, whenever I copy, change frame, select something, basicaly any change action I have to wait about 5 seconds or more for a reaction. I'm using it for simple animation, no symbols, just 3 layers. I have a deadline coming up for my final production and if I can't fix this fast I'm screwed. I've tried every solution I can find, including trying Flash CS3 and Flash 8, nothing seems to fix the slow speed
View 8 RepliesFlash is just unusable, because of extremely slow performance. Selecting a tool or typing in actionscript takes forever. I've also noticed that sometimes (yes only sometimes), flash.exe takes alot of CPU usage, even when doing simple things like mentioned above.
At the same machine, 2 days ago, before upgrading from Vista Ultimate x64 to Windows 7 Ultimate x64, everything was working perfect.
I use Flash mainly for Slideshow Pro content and before CS5 I have used CS3 and CS4. I have never noticed issues with speed before, but since upgrading to CS5, my work has slowed to a crawl.
I am on a 64 bit machine Windows 7 machine very fast machine with 12 GB of memory, and while I realise that Flash is not a 64 bit program and can therefore not use all of that, I am wondering why it is so much slower than was CS4.
I use the facebook class [URL] in my project. When I compile my project (Air 2.0) with the facebook class it takes longer than one minute to compile.What would I do to make compiling faster? Compiling in Flash Builder seems much faster than in Flash CS5.

View 1 RepliesI animate flourish using adobe flash then export it as swf to use it again in another flash movie
when i import it i use these steps:
1- I make a symbol(movie clip)
2- I import the swf to the stage

BUT when I finish all these steps and play my movie the flurish too slow and not soft as original its cracks!
My version of Flash CS5 has recently become very slow to start up, taking well over a minute sometimes.It appears to stall for the longest time during a loading process called "Loading Accelerators" (yes, very ironic).Mac Pro running Mac OSX 10.6.7 (Snow Leopard) and 14Gb RAM.
View 4 RepliesBasically the objective is to click on certain targets, which upon doing so would destroy the target and garner you points. I've written a macro to help me until the point where its impossible to even see the target more than a mere flicker, (maybe even less than that, i cant see it with my eyes). But its possible because i believe others have done so. (Maybe on slower comps?)
Anyway the question is, how would it be possible to slow down the flash game?
I've thought of a couple of ways that could work but i'm not sure how to implement them.
1. Slow down the cpu speed? (smth like that? how?)
2. As the game progress the time the targets appear and stay up is reduced. Maybe theres a variable controlling all of this, isit possible to modify the address of this variable? freeze it or smth?
Has anyone else found that flash is VERY slow when using Firefox 4 on Mac OS X?This happens when the .swf gets larger than ~1000px, the whole .swf is slow to scroll, respond, etc.

View 4 RepliesFor some reason whenever I try to access a any of the files within a project that I'm working on it goes extremely slow. I'll click something, or type something and it'll take like 30 seconds before I actually see it do anything. I never had this problem with this project before, seems like it came out of no where. If I just make a new document, or goto another project it's fine.
