ActionScript 3.0 :: Faster Method To Find An Index Than IndexOf()?
Mar 16, 2011I have a function that finds the smallest five numbers out of an array of values and returns their index numbers. Here's a block of code from that function[code]...
The whole thing is slow, but I imagine that indexOf() is probably the worst offender. Is there any more efficient way to correlate a series of minimum values with their indexes without having to use indexOf()?
The values don't necessarily have to be stored in _elements, but they're pulled from a multidimensional array so I figure that it's the most efficient I can get at the moment.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Does Better Faster CPU Necessarily Equal Faster SWF Compile Times
Jan 25, 2010My question is, does a better, faster CPU necessarily equal faster SWF compile times? Or does it rely on something else (OS, memory, etc). I only use AS3 and some of my projects take a while to compile. If certain hardware can guarantee me a faster compile time, it'd be worth including those things in my shopping list.

View 1 RepliesFlex :: Accessing A DataProvider With IndexOf?
Jun 12, 2009I have a list object and I'm adding items to it with addItem through the dataProvider.Before adding an item to the list I want to make sure it's not a duplicate. I've tried using indexOf on the dataProvider and it returns null. I've tried casting it to an array and it works, but always returns -1 even if the element exists in the dataProvider.The only method I've been able to use seems a little hacky and I'd like to know if there is a better way to find an element in a dataProvider.

Actionscript 3 :: Start Position Of IndexOf Search?
Nov 30, 2010I'm using the indexOf method to search for a substring in a String variable in Actionscript 3. The indexOf method allows you to specify a second, optional parameter - the starting position for the search. However, I'm not sure whether the position returned by indexOf is relative to the very beginning of the string, or to this optional parameter.

Sep 21, 2010I am making a flash game and I am trying to make it as efficient as possible. I need to set a timer and then do something after the timer runs out.So, that being said I am wondering which method would be faster (or more efficient):Making a timer object and listening to the TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE or in the ENTER_FRAME event of the game checking a Boolean (time) and then if it is true, incrementing a variable until that variable is equal to x, then performing the operations.

View 1 RepliesActionscript :: Bitmaps Faster Than Vectors?
Apr 11, 2011I'm working on a project which draws circles continuously at framerate and animates them around the stage and I'm running into performance issues.
I'm already converting all objects to bitmapData as soon as they become static. My question is, will converting the circles to bitmapData as soon as they are drawn increase performance? In other words, is animating say, 200 bitmaps (with transparency) faster than 200 vector circles?
Are there any drawbacks to this technique? (I'm thinking opacity problems maybe?)
If they were more complex shapes than circles would the answer be different?

Apr 25, 2011i've been kinda notified about loading external SWF's into a main time line and then some how positioning them where they are suppose to be. But heres my problem. My site is set up much more different then the typical flash website. the
ActionScript Code: gotoAndPlay(50) to go the certain links isn't on the main time. Its actually in a movie clip on the main page that when you click expands out and you can hover over/out of the links and all they do is show a little bit of content. I'e looked at what has the most MB's and it is my background. Just because it is very large. like 22 INches large. (It is scrollable with the mouse) But the background stays constantly there through out the whole time the user is on my website. How would I make this site load much faster. It takes like 5 mins to load my website.
