ActionScript 3.0 :: Turn Off Throttle Down/sleep Mechanism In Flash Player 10.1?
Aug 9, 2010
Hello I am wondering if any of you know of a way to turn the throttle down (sleep) mechanism off when a C++ app is hosting the flash activeX control. The flash control is invisible in this case and so the flash app will throttle down. Tinic Uro does not seem to be answering questions related to work arounds for apps that might not want flash to throttle down.
This is especially annoying when you are hosting the flash control in your own application.

I have a hidden swf which needs to run in full framerate. Although it is documented that the "sleep mode" due to which flash player goes into 4fps is only for mobile devices. I see that when my swf is not displayed (hidden or in a different tab", I can only get events in multiples of 250ms. Is there a way I can disable this feature for my swf? I can see that this is a great feature, but I just need to disable this for my app.

Is it possible to have both the regular Flash Player and the Flash Debug Player installed simultaneously, and switch between the two? In order to accurately test my project I want to use the regular player.

Is there any way to turn vertical sync on for the flash player using Actionscript 3 code? I figured it would be in the stage properties somewhere but am unable to find it anywhere. I also asked this question on several large flash/actionscript boards on the internet and haven't found anyone that knows how to do this. Turning on vsync will simply align the flash players screen updates with the updates of the monitors refresh rate. The result, liquid smooth.Without it, it's not perfect and so something needs to be done about this because we know flash is awesome and it needs to be perfect.

I'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there

I have a method, which connects to a HTTP server and requests via XMLRPC, a list of data structures and then for each data structure gets a list of attributes and the values of those attributes. It's implemented using nested for each loops.
The problem is that it's loading a lot of data all at once, and consuming a massive amount of CPU (over 100%) reading responses from the server and parsing the XML.
If I were writing the program in C, I'd insert a usleep() at the end of the loop, to wait before trying to load more data and reduce CPU usage. What would the equivalent be in Flex?

// Register the function as a listener with the button.

I stayed up all night building an application on cs5.5 that needs to keep running for up to an hour without the screeen dimming or the device going to sleep. After a lot of googling I could not find anything. Is there a way to emulate or trick the system and make it think that there is user interation ? Or is there an option I can change to make this work? I am testing on an ipod touch 4g

Would it be possible to have a keylistener accomplish the following pseudo code:
doSomething();
sleep(1);
reload Iframe on page;
How this relates: I have multiple frames on my page, one which contains the flash chatroom. It has a keylistener set up for the various direction keys, and after an arrow is pushed I need it to doSomething, sleep for 1 second while doSomething runs, then reload an iFrame on the page containing php code that queries the changes doSomething performed.

I need to be able to tell when the os has came back from sleep/hibernate/standby.Problem I'm having is that I have a timer that needs to fire at certain time. The delay is calculated so that it will fire on certain hour:min:sec. Problem is when the os goes to sleep, the timer is "paused," which caused the timer to fire on wrong time. I would like to be able to update the timer delay when the os comes back from sleep but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this...

I'm trying to make a Flex (Advanced)DataGrid component with some mechanism where the user can toggle the visibility of the columns. I've crudely implemented this by reading in the columns into the right-click menu, and when a column name is selected here, the visibility is toggled. It works, but it's not the most elegant solution.Specifically, I'm trying to emulate the "datagrid" that Mozilla Thunderbird uses to display emails. Here is an image:
In the upper right, there is an icon over the scroll bar. If there is no scrollbar, the icon remains in the same place. When clicking the icon, it opens up a menu that shows all the possible columns, with the visible ones having a check mark next to them, like this:
Also, the scroll bar always appears under this button, never "pushing" it over into it's own column.I'd like to re-create this in Flex. I believe the menu part and creating a column with a button headerRenderer is easy enough. But I can't figure out how (if at all possible) to do this with the scrollbar, because the scrollbar always seems to be "its own column".

there's a need to select a mechanism, allowing user to hide/show columns in a DataGrid.One of suggested ways is adding a button (which looks like a column header, but with no column). When user clicks on it, the list of columns comes and user may select columns to hide/show. But is there any way to have such column in a grid (just a header with no column .. as example - you may see the grid in Mozilla Thunderbird)?
The other, less likely way, was the popup list, appearing when mouse hover the DataGrid. But this list would be used rarely. So, this flashing list would be just a headache for an end-user.
The ways with mouse-clicking .. I'm just afraid, that they would be left unnoticed and user would have a hard days while using a grids with a dozens columns.
Edit #1Maybe it would be better if I just provide a pic of this magical "header with no column", to escape confusion ..
Here's it .. there's a clickable column-header in a grid, but there's no column under it ..
Edit #2There's some area right above scrollbar in the dataGrid, it might be the right place for putting this functionality .. but it seems like I can't use it.

Adobe help document said, "When a component calls an invalidation method, it signals to Flex that the component must be updated. When multiple components call invalidation methods, Flex coordinates updates so that they all occur together during the next screen update."

How do you turn off the sound in a game only? I ask because I have two buttons in my settings: turn music on/off and sound on/off. turning music on and off is really easy because it uses a specific sound channel. But How do you turn off the volume the sound only (e.g. music is still playing but not the sound of the game)?
When I mute the sound via SoundMixer.soundtransform you can't hear anything so that's not what I wanted to have. In my game all sounds are thrown into an array. My first idea was that I go through all sounds listed in the array and turn off the volume but that's not working.

I am making a simple debugger window in ActionScript for myself where I can add and remove variables I want to track. I was to be able to add variables to the list by just doing something like
DebuggerMonitor.trackVar(variable).
My question is, is there any way I can turn "variable" itself (the name, not the value) into a String to be added into a text field?

I'm trying to turn this flash animation into a video clip. > the swf in question <
1) How do I get the first frame of the second "photo" (which is actually a short video clip) to be still for maybe half a second, before the video starts playing?
2) When I tried exporting it as an avi, it didn't play properly. The animation of the first photo coming in was fine, and then the second photo came in but the video clip didn't play. (it just looked like a still photo).
I'm making a video with Windows moviemaker (unfortunately) and all I wanted was that short animation to be made into a a video clip (either avi or some format that is compatible with Windows moviemaker).
Or if anyone knows a site that converts an swf to an avi online, for free, please let me know, that would be great. Because it didn't work when exporting it as an avi from Flash, but maybe if I can convert the swf to an avi then it will play properly.

I have a swc plugin embedded in my product to stream live video to a group of recipients.The plugin uses the NetStream, NetGroup and NetConnection objects, the server I use to handle the RTMFP session is Influxis.One client creates a group as a publisher, and stream a live video.His Camera is enabled and I can see the video on the screen as well. The others connect to his group and play the video.Peer assisted Networking is enabled for both the publisher and the recipients.The plugin worked well in all 10.x versions (10.1/10.2/10.3)However, when upgrading to flash player 11.x, it stopped working.
-11.x to 11.x isn't working.
-10.x with 11.x isn't working.
-only 10.x to 10.x is working.
The server I use to handle the RTMFP protocol is Influxis.com I sent them the same question as well.The weirdest fact is that I'm using flash builder 4.6 with 4.6 sdk, which is aimed for flash player 11.1, and it is only working with 10.x flash players.
