ActionScript 3.0 :: Why Flash Runs Smoother Without A Wrapper (HTML)
Mar 2, 2010
If I load a swf in FlashPlayer standalone, it will play nice and smooth. If I load the HTML it's embedded in (with SWFObject) in a browser it stutters like hell. If I use my browser to open the swf on its own, that runs nearly as smooth as in the standalone player.
That the standalone player runs smoother is understandable, since it then doesn't need to go through the browser layer. A slight performance decrease when adding the HTML DOM layer is also understandable, but in my case the difference is huge!
If I were to guess:
Standalone: 100% (benchmark)
SWF in browser: 90%
SWF in HTML in browser: 30%

When I make changes to a Flex project and rerun the project, it seems that FlashBuilder4 rewrites my html wrapper that embeds the SWF. But I have additional javascript code in the html wrapper and don't want to keep losing my code. I had to re-write the code once and it was a pain in the neck.How do I stop it from re-writing the html. And the related question: how do I stop it from deleting the html during a clean?I basically need to exclude the html from its processing once it's been created the first time. P.S. I'm using Flash Builder 4, but I suppose it's the same in Flex Builder 3.

Can you place php varibles in the html wrapper for a swf, that could be read into the swf when it loads?Perhaps using a param?
$myVariable = "$var1,$var2,$var3";
like this with php in the html?
<param name=FlashVars value="$myVariable" />
or perhaps ?
<param name=FlashVars value="myVariable=$myVariable" />
Then perhaps in the swf with as3 using something like this?
var myloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
myloader.load(new URLRequest(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters))
myloader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded)
[code]...
Unsure how to access it using the correct path to the param and then how to get the php variable $myVariable into myloader.data?

I am using Flash Builder 4. In the Flex Compiler option, I checked 'Generate HTML wrapper file', and then added some text to the alternateContent variable in the auto generated index.template.html wrapper found in html-template folder. For Run/debug settings I have the src/index.html file set as the file to be launched. In the bin-debug folder, the index.html incorporates the content of the html wrapper, and when I run the app in debug mode it behaves as I would expect. However, when I export a release build, the index.html file doesn't incorporate the content of the html wrapper file, and therefore doesn't do the check for a valid version of Flash Player. Do I have to manually copy the index.html file from bin-debug to bin-release each time I export a release build (this does seem to work)

I've been trying to do as the client requested : redirect to campaign page then to destination page once a customer clicks on the top banner in swf format.If you are using Firefox, Chrome or Safari, I suspect you can reach the destination page.However, if you are using IE or Opera, I doubt it.I think to cause of such a weird problem is:The swf ojbects don't have a link to url, SO I have to hack the theme template file like this :
<div id="header">';

In Flex builder 3 when I create a new flex application targeting the flex 4 sdk, it wont generate a html wrapper file. I have hunted around the web for answers, but no success. I have made sure the box is checked in the project properties to generate html wrapper.
The only workaround is to target an older version of the sdk (i.e. 3.2), which will cause the wrapper to be generated. Then I can revert the project to sdk 4. This then means I can never do a clean of my project because this will result in the wrapper being deleted. Has anyone else come across this? Is this just a bug with Flexbuilder3?

I wanted to make a flash game,it's about some fish swiming in a tank.All the fishes swim randomly,i don't need any rotation,just left and right direction will be fine with me.But the result is their actions are really odd. how to make them swim just like real fishes?And there's also another problem.When the number of fishes increased to 50 or more,the framerate will drop rapidly.
Now I use Tweenlite to control the swiming action ,and it works very well.But the framerate still drops if i add more than 40 or 50 fishes to the tank.I think there must be a better way to do this.
Here's my code
public function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void{
var time:Number = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(xOffset,2)+Math.pow(yOffset,2))/speed;
TweenLite.to(this,time,{x:x+xOffset ,y:y+yOffset*0.5 ,ease:Quad.easeOut,onComplete:moveComplete});
}*/
xOffset and yOffset in the code are random numbers

I have a problem where the images look a little pixelated because they have been scaled down alot, just need a way to make everything appear smoother.
I need the game I'm making to look high quality and also work at different resolutions so when I made all the graphics I made them massive and same for the stage size in flash.
The stage size is 2000*1500 and it's being scaled down to 800*600 which is an exact ratio, I didn't expect to see pixelization when scaling the images DOWN, that's why I made them so large.
If there's no options for smoothing things out, then does anyone know the best option for swapping images at run-time? This way I can have pre-made images for all the most popular resolutions.

We create Flash games which are embedded within third party wrapper SWF files, which are exported for FP9.
If I create an FP10 SWF which uses Pixel Bender classes (Shader, ShaderData), when I run them in an FP9 wrapper within an FP10 player, an error is thrown
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display::Shader could not be found.
Is there any way to get access to these FP10 classes - or does the version of the outermost wrapper determine what's available to child SWFs? Is this something to do with applicationDomain?

We create Flash games which are embedded within third party wrapper SWF files, which are exported for FP9.If I create an FP10 SWF which uses classes specific to FP10 (Pixel Bender classes such as Shader, ShaderData), when I run them in an FP9 wrapper within an FP10 player, an error is thrown VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display::Shader could not be found.I thought this may be something to do with ApplicationDomains - maybe the child SWF was forced into using the global classes from the parent SWF, but assigning a new ApplicationDomain to the child didn't make any difference. Is there any way to get access to these FP10 classes - or does the version of the outermost wrapper SWF always determine what's available to child SWFs? It seems odd that the FP10 classes are not available in a FP10 player.

I found a script to make the animation follow the mouse movement and it needed to stay in fixed boundaries. I have 3 different mc 1 behind the other and moving at a different pace to give a illusion of perspective. But here are my issues;1-It works but when I open a new window in the browser the mc(s) are disappearing. 2-And I would really need to ease or smooth the animation a little. I would like the mc(s) to continue to move and stop slowly after I already stopped moving the mouse. how to script both or even 1 of these ? Here's the code I am using now;
function loopX(e:Event):void
{
var xDist:Number = mouseX - 24000

I've got a tween which is called using an ENTER_FRAME event listener, as I need the movieclip to constantly tween until it's selected. However, the tween isn't very smooth, it's very jumpy and I'm guessing this has got something to do with the ENTER_FRAME event being constantly called. Is there a better way of creating a smoother tween?
Here's my code...
ActionScript Code:this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ballFloat);private function ballFloat(event:Event):void { var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "x", Regular.easeOut, this.x, randomXBoundary, 10, true); TweenX = myTweenX; }// end of ballFloat function

I normally spend hours battling with the simpliest AS and eventually work it out.I've trying to run the following AS applied to a button:
on (rollOver) {
i = getProperty(this.button01, _alpha);
while (i<100) {
if (i>100) {
[code]....
The action seems to work, however the increment is instant and I want to achieve a smoother transition.

I was looking through the tutorials on kirupa and i stumbled across the dynamic animating mc's and i was intrigued. So i made a canvas graphic real quick and imported it into flash and tested it out. at first it didn't look so good not like paint on canvas, then i changed the blend to overlay and it looked much better.I would like it to have a smoother transition so you don't notice the circles and no jumping.

What's generally going to run smoother, result in lower file size, and/or drag less:
if (condition){move a clip from here to there and if it goes too far, bring it back;}
else (!condition){do nothing, let it sit;}
move a clip here or there, regardless of any condition, so it's always moving, and bring it back if it goes too far;

I have this RPG-like screen where you have a character walking through.. the forest or something.. and the thing is.. it's lagging.. LOTS..On that scene.. there are quite a lot of Tree graphics and grass graphics.. I've tested this and apparently graphics run a lot smoother than movieclips with bitmap caching on..Also.. My character has lots of different hair styles all put into one movieclip.. and i thought that by removing them all.. and just have a attachMovie() script to pull in the appropriate hairstyle clips.. it would go faster..but apparently it doesn't seem to of made much difference..what other ways can i reduce the lag on flash?

I'm trying to get smoother steps in checking the ProgressEvent when loading the image to the Loader.At this moment my eventrogressEvent checks the progress aprox twice within a second. Is there any way to make it check constantly (or more often), so the progres bar "grows" smoothly instead of "jumping"?

I was in the middle of developing a Flex applcation, and then I recently switched from Windows XP to Mac. My app is noticeably less responsive on my Mac than on Windows, and today I proved it's not a hardware issue, because I ran the App on my Mac and a Window XP on Virtual Box side by side, and IS much more responsive on XP. Things like repainting in response to window resizing, selecting/unselecting list items, scrolling up and down(I do have complicated list-item-renderers). Has anyone seen this as well? Is flex/flash just not as well supported on Mac? Or are there tweaks I can do to improve performance on the Mac?

Allaboutrajini site tells you to stop your Internet connection to enter the site.I guess it determines whether the connection is on or off with javascript or something like gmail and qoura do.
But how can they store so much of flash animated content locally in the browser in such a short time?

I 'm working in a flash website and I used a background music that runs while the flash file is playing, I used action script codes to run this music. Also, I used some simple sounds that plays when the user move his mouse over a button or some items, but I imported these sounds to its frames directly and I didn't use action script to run it.The problem is that I want to make a "MUTE" button to stop all sounds, but the background music only stopped because it was runned through Action Script, other buttons will produce the same sounds when moving the mouse over them Does anybody have an action script code to mute all sounds even if they were imported to frames directly??

I am trying to do something I thought would be very simple. It has turned into a much more difficult exercise. I simply want to use this flash movie at Code:[URL] as an index page of site. When the movie has ran, I want to pause for 3 or 4 seconds and then go to the next page of web site (in other words, go to a specific URL).

Select a school listed in the first datagrid, and display all the student records /details of that school in the next datagrid. But, since datagrid is editable and requirement mentions : "Use a Wrapper class around the object to get the data, set the same and save. Ensure wrapper is bindable to take into consideration the updates being made to datagrid text fields."
I have an object which is a type of a Data Access Objects i.e. DO.
mySchool:mySchoolDO.
The mySchoolDO is an actionScript class of following code :
public class mySchoolDO
{
public var schoolName:String;
public var schoolLocation:String;
[code]....
The showSchoolStudents will display all the details of students on to the datagrid. But, my datagrid is editable. And, I want to use WRAPPER CLASS around this object such that
a> I can retrieve individual values as present in studentsDO i.e. studentID, studentCourses, studentGender, studentPhone.
b> I shouldbe able to set the values as they are updated in the visual datagrid.
c> Finally save all the data and submit on submit click.
