ActionScript 3.0 :: Projects Outside Of It Taking Up Most Of Time?
Jun 17, 2010
I haven't played around in flash for awhile due to other projects outside of it taking up most of my time, but I'm trying to create a simple 4 digit count-up display that uses a sprite-like movieclip instead of a dynamic text field.
The movieclip has 0-9 layed out vertically and each interval basically shifts the movieclip instance up by 20 pixels. There are 4 instances of the movieclip on stage side by side.
I'm wondering if there is a simpler way to do this other than how I did. I honestly can't wrap my brain around this anymore without going insane, and just wanted to get some other opinions.

I have implemented an image scroller. Now the client had reported that a few seconds are taking to load images. We have a local server. When we load images from it, it's not taking that much time to load images.You just copy the following code in a notepad save it as .html extension, which is the widget taken from client site.

Whenever I launch the Flash application or try to save or load a file, I get the "beach ball" for 30-60 seconds, sometimes a bit longer.I have plenty of disk space, plenty of memory.I'm on a 8 core Mac Pro with 10GB of memory, so I don't get it. It should load instantaneously just like Photoshop and In Design do.

We have a flex application and in that we have a screen that taking a lot of time to load, almost 60 seconds.Basically the screen is a very big form. I wanted to divide the form as a wizard but the client wants a single form with Vertical Scroll on. Now there are 8 sections in the form, each section has two form elements (so around 16 form components) but i have divided each section into a separate component of its own as some pieces are reused .So the whole screen is like Form - Divided into 8 sections Each Sections is an mxml components contained in a Almost each components contains two form components kept side to side in horizontal flow i.e something like that.This screen is taking hell of a lot of time to load. How should i speed it up, please tell the approaches.Also the main application doesn't take much time to load, this particular screen is loaded on the click of a button and on clicking the button the screen gets stuck because its taking a lot of time to load.

I have a product demo in Flash that's roughly 1MB in size. When people access a page that this demo lives on, the demo doesn't visibly "appear" until over half of the total bytes have already been loaded..You can see this by clicking here, and seeing that by the time the swf materializes on the screen, the preloader progress bar is already over 50% (or so).How can I fix it so that at least something shows up right away, so that the user isn't staring at a blank screen for 30 seconds? The preloader seems to work ok.

I do not why but now my flash files are taking much more time(Ctrl+Enter) to load than usual .. Automatically debugger starts when i run the file. And for heavy files, the file hangs and ends up in restarting my Flash Application. I am using CS4.

I implemented a flv player with actionscript 3.0. The player loads a list which contains the url of flv. Users allow to choose different flv to play. However, when playing 3rd flv, the player uses a lot of time to play.

I have built a SoundClass which handles my sound. Any time I want to call upon a sound, I call upon the class and its function. Problem is, there is like a buffering time or something. For instance, when I jump with my character, I am trying to play the jump from the SoundClass I created. It plays, but takes about 3 seconds. Btw, it does this regardless of if its in its own class, or in the same class I am calling it from. The jump.mp3 is only 4KB.
Here is how I have it set up
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
[code]....
If I am in another class, I can call upon this by using "soundClass.jumpS();" It plays, but takes a few seconds. I have a trace on the function jumpS() and it traces immediately.

I'm very used to building things with hard references in mind using AS2. I build it knowing I'm going to put a panel A in _level0.panela_mc and interface B in _level0.interfaceb_mc and Login Prompt in _level0.login_mc.login_com, etc etc.. I always know these will exist and you simply reference them via _level0.whatever. What is the new strategy to managing references to lots of sprites?
If I build a panel in a class method, the var somepanel:Sprite = new Sprite() I create inside the method to hold the panel I'm making will be up for garbage collection if I don't make sure a reference stays intact (via either add it to a display list, add an event handler, etc..). The reference "somepanel" I made in the method will go out of scope at the end of the method as well. Should I expect to have needed to make a class variable ahead of time to store a reference to this? Should I be keeping a class genericObject:Object that holds a list of references to everything I ever make almost like a global registry?I'm just used to AS2. You just create a movieclip and when the method ends, the clip still exists and you know the _level0.ref.ref.ref will always exist and how to get back to it.
How are larger projects managed where content loaded isn't known ahead of time and the layout is rather dynamic. What are the strategies used to manage all that dynamic chaos?Lastly I'm so overly used to being able to target a movieclip using a single daisy chained list of clips, like: _level0.this_mc. that _mc.those_mc. I noticed I can't seem to do this approach with the getChild() approach. using someSprite.getChildByName('this').getChildByName ('that') .get ChildByNa me('those') doesn't work. How do you drill down into nested clips? I did notice I can do it one level at a time, such as: refA = someSprite.get ChildByName('this'); refB = refA.getChildByName('that'); refC = refB.getChildByName('those'); .. Is that what I'm expected to do?

I have never worked on flash - I used a developer to code a flash based webcam recorder that runs on red5 as backend. He provided me with the swf file and the source like mxml file.This recorder has 3 images and the total size of swf file is 800KB.Now when I load it on my production server - this page takes sometimes upto 10 secs to load. I'm completely lost as to what the reason is and not sure where to start debugging.I'm not sure if the problem is in the flash code or is it that red5 is taking a long time to establish the connection.

I'm trying to implement a simple NetStream video player with Progressive Video, but for some reason the video is taking about 12-13 seconds to begin buffering...I don't get it. If you check this link, you can see the buffer progress, you can see that it sits at 0 for >10s, until finally starting to buffer, at which point it finishes very quickly. [URL] It's a hard one to search for as any query using connection or slow obviously returns a bunch of crap that I don't need...

I've got a file upload that's working just fine except for the fact that the Event.COMPLETE event seems to take way longer than it should to fire. The Progress event is firing just fine and filling up the progress bar, and on top of that the entire file arrives on the server just fine, and way before the complete event fires. I've read I need to echo something back from the server, but I have no idea what that should be.

why dynamic streaming taking too much time to switch video from lower bit rate to higher bit rate and vice versa. I am doing dynamic streaming in following ways -
var param:NetStreamPlayOptions = new NetStreamPlayOptions();
param.oldStreamName=oldStream();
param.streamName=newStream()
[code]....
I am using duel buffering and that is 3 seconds when video starts and 10 seconds when "NetStream.Buffer.Full". Video taking approximately 30-50 seconds to switch video and when I am calling the above code.

I downloaded CS4 and created several projects, but then the 30 day trial period ended. When I opened up my licensed CS3, and tried to open the projects I created in CS4, they didn't open.I don't understand why Adobe would do this, unless they didn't, ? I can't believe it is not backward compatible?

Basically i am making a presentation of some projects. I have a three button (with movieclips underneath) left handed navigation menu. When I click various buttons, the movieclip underneath it will move right and expand to fill the available content area. Now when I click other buttons, I want the current movieclip that is currently open to reduce in size and return to it's start position, followed but the newly selected movieclip to move right and increase in size.This is what my little brain thinks may work:Somewhere (perhaps on the main stage) you have code like this:
var lastusedmovie = ?? (array, string??)
Then on each of the buttons over the movieclips you have the following code
On(release) {
lastusedmovie.gotoAndPlay(32) // THE FRAME THAT CLOSES THE BOX
then // OR SOMETHING ELSES THAT SAYS DO THIS BIT AFTER THE BOX HAS CLOSED

I have several related projects. If I pull a symbol from the library of one project into another project, and then modify the symbol, shouldn't the changes appear in the original project too? Or is a new, project-unique symbol auto-created that has the exact same name as the one in the original library?I have a multi-scene cartoon with recurring characters, and would very much like to make modifications as I notice imperfections, and trust that the changes will appear in all instances. Is this possible?

I'm having problems compiling applications with remote ant, something similar to this. However the flex compiler seems to have problems with this. When I run the same script on my local compiles everything without any problems but when I try the remote ant it fails without giving more information.

I found this question, and it mentions the FlashDevelop wiki. However, I couldn't find anything there at all.
Where is a good place to start? I have done some work with MXML projects using the Flex SDK, but never any ActionScript programming.

So, I popped open up Flash CS5 just now, and I couldn't find my projects panel. I was working on a dual screen set up previously, so my windows were everywhere anyways (sans external). I switched over to a smaller screen workspace, and popped opened the projects panel. Oddly enough, the code snippets panel came up instead. So, I switched off the code snippets, and tried again. I've been trying different ways of opening this panel for about 15 minutes, and I'm totally stumped. Some thorough googling didn't present any relevant results, so, StackOverflow, I turn to you. Is this a known issue? is there a secret backdoor way to open this panel?

My goal is to make a flash/as3 program that would pull multiple sets of data (images and texts) from the database and compile and save a flash video project for each one. What might be the best way to go about making this work? I checked but wasn't able to find a function that would publish the flash project in it's current state, so I don't think I can execute the entire process in a single flash/as3 file. My only other option is to have some other program/batch file take care of the querying the database and compiling multiple flash/as3 movies by starting up a flash program and passing it the parameters of the data it needs to build 1 complete project for 1 set of data. Is there a program to create .swf files automatically? Is it even possible to pass in init params to flash/as3 project?

I'm writing application in Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 using AIR 3 SDK. I want to debug throw swf files which downloaded from the internet.My project consist of:
1. MainProject (Android Mobile app proj)
2. LibFile (flex project)
3. ExtraGame (web app using LibFile).
So, when I build .swf file from LibFile+ExtraGAme, load it from internet and run it from MainProject in different Application domains - I can't debug in ExtraGAme project. So how can I debug such projects?

I am working on an educational project where users access multiple interfaces that teach them scientific concepts and I've come to a snag in the best method of developing these interfaces.As they were developed in the last module the format looked like this. Each interface was a separate swf file that contained all needed code, graphics, and a set of fake data for whatever the interface needed. Each revision of the interface is compiled and displayed through meetings or emails where the actual swf file is sent, we do not have a test server nor do we have access to the internet in the rooms where reviews happen. Currently after the final look and interaction is approved all calls to the fake data are modified to either make database calls themselves, or call functions from it's containing swf file once it is loaded.[code]Obviously I haven't gotten it to work but I'm thinking something along those lines. Any suggestions on a method to do this the best. Ultimately I would like to be able to do this for embedding assets as well. For example a font, currently I load fonts from an external file, which means each FLA needs a copy of that font file and at completion all files load the same text file.
