IDE :: Animation Lags At Certain Points?
Jan 24, 2009
I was wondering whether you could help me with a small problem that I am having with my first Flash animation.
I'm using CS4, and when I export the SWF and view it in Firefox, it skips/lags at certain points in the animation (specifically during some of the fast, "zooming out" text tweens - you'll see what I'm talking about if you watch it below). The odd thing is that it appears to work just fine in IE. The animation isn't that complicated, but it does have a fair amount of text tweens./[URL]..

I currently made a flash animation. the background is the only one that is animated and scrolls to the right. But my problem is why it lags? Is there any way to not make it lag? here's a link of the swf file you can view: http:[url]......I tried it on a high spec pc and it does not lag when it is in normal screen(640x480) but when I view it in full screen it lags. There are no scripts or anything in this file just animation.

I have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.

when exporting a long SWF (10,000 frames and higher...of course not over 16,000 cause it won't export) the exported audio in the SWF will slowly start to lag behind the animation until it is completely out of sync by a few seconds at the end of the clip. i have all my sounds set to stream and they are all on the main timeline. this is a straight animation with no actionScript.i run at 24fps and export the audio at mp3/128kbs/best.

I have waited FOREVER for a Universal Binary version of Flash to be finally released. Now that I've finally got it, its performance is less than stellar. I'm running it on a 2.16Ghz Intel Core Duo and 2GB RAM, and there is considerable lag when renaming layers, or when dragging the timeline across a simple shape-tween. Not only that, but when I export movies (Apple+Enter), the pop-up window that plays it is EXTREMELY slow, and it's slow regardless of what's going on, even if I'm only animating a circle moving from point A to point B.
What's going on here? I've tried disabling all but the system fonts, closing the help window, and made sure I have no extensions running. Nothing helps. The horizontal scrollbar in the timeline moves from side to side with great fluidity and ease, but dragging the timeline bar is awfully slow. Did Adobe miss something here? I didn't spend $1800 on this Design Suite to be stuck with a piece of software which runs FASTER on my 2.16Ghz AMD-powered PC (which I built over four ears ago). Macs used to be the top-of-the-line in terms of Photoshop + Flash performance when they were on the PowerPC platform. But this whole Intel switch has really taken a hit on Flash.

I'm currently streaming an FLV as a website background and I'm having some lag issues with it. The streaming works fine however it lags the website to the point where its difficult to use the button rollovers. This is done in AS3. Here's the link to the website: [URL]. At this point only the first 2 buttons have code on them.
Code Button Roll Over:
stop();
var rewind:Boolean = false;
myBT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,growUP) ;
myBT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,growDown );
myBT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotoSite);
[Code] .....
I also noticed that the smaller the browser window gets, the less lagg I have. Anyone have any idea why the FLV is lagging the website so bad?

I'm trying to improve the performance of a flash game we did. It's a game very similar to GTA but for flash... This is why its important that Mouse and keyboard can be used at the same time...
But in Firefox (with the last flash version, and the last Firefox version) in some cases if you press a key (WASD) and you move the mouse, the mouse events are dispached after the keyboard events, when you release the keyboard.[code]...

I am working on a flash desktop application which requires me to have the flash to appear as full screen when run on the computer. I compiled my flash into executable(.exe) file with mdm zinc but I realise that the flash animation is lagging a lot when it is shown in full screen. I then try to display the frame rate on the movie and the movie is actually running at 10fps when full screen and animating. It returns to about 20-25fps when it is not having any movieclips animating while remaining full screen. It is running all well at 30fps when opened with flash player.

I'm working on a "storm the house" game and there is a really annoying bug wich causes the game to lag whenever I press a key on the keyboard.This is a pretty big problem since you reload with Space and swap weapons with the number keys.

I've been working on a top-down shooter.I have it set up so that a map can be generated using an array which is loaded from an external .txt file. This works perfectly fine... Until the map generated reaches a certain size.A map size 1850 pixels by 1000 pixels works perfectly fine. But if you double the size, it becomes nearly unplayable. The map is generated from a determined number of 50 pixel by 50 pixel movieclips (they are plain black), each one is created (using attachMovieClip) where ever the array contains the corresponding value.
I thought at first it was the fact that I was moving the entire _root when the player moved (there has to be a better way, suggestions?), but that was dumb considering that the lag exists before the player even starts moving (bullets lag).

I'm using NetStream to show my videos, everything works fine except the annoying lagging that I get after the video has buffered. The video simply skips/ jumps to the point that it had buffered to, stops and waits again for the same amount of it to buffer then plays normally.Me changing the seconds that it takes to buffer doesn't effect it. The action script is as follows:
stop();
ns.play("blank");//stops video playing in the background
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

2. When the image loads, click the "Crop Image" button on the left side3. Start dragging the corner handles around (the mid handles are not coded for yet)4. If you move the handles fast enough and let go, the rectangle does not stay with the handlesI think the problem has something to do with the rectangle I create and use. Notice that once you get the handles away from the rectangles,Here is the code:
Code:
private function grabberdrag(evt:MouseEvent):void {_grabarray[_i].x = _grabbers.mouseX;//move the current handle to mouseX

This is an issue that I've run into over and over again, and it just drives me insane. Whenever I make a game which stays on one frame for a while (lots of dynamic objects are made, particle effects, bla bla), the framerate very very slowly starts to drag. After a few minutes, it's at about half what it started at, and it steadily drops until the game is unplayable.I use some variation of the following code to clean up dead movieclips:
Code:
e.currentTarget.visible=false;
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveThing);
e.currentTarget.parent.removeChild(e.currentTarget);
I guess I should mention that I do contain references to the movieclips in arrays, but I splice them out. Is that ok?I'm almost positive that somehow Flash is still keeping track of my old movie clips, even though I feel like I'm getting rid of them. Is there something wrong? Do I have to do some extra special magic to totally banish them forever? Please help. This has been driving me insane.

I made a smooth scrolling scrollbar in Flash - it works fine except when I upload it to my server/domain the scrollbar lags a bit and is not really smooth. The swf runs very smooth on my desktop but when embedded into html and uploaded, the movie clip that the scrollbar is scrolling doesn't animate smoothly, it jumps. Is there any way to make it go faster?

i created a game that has 96 still movieclips and seven more movieclips that basically move horizontally. The lag starts to rise if i add more and more moving movieclips. The game loop just basically, increment the x coordinate of the movieclips, so i don't think i have problems in the game loop.Is it normal the flash will lag once it has exceeded certain number of movieclips??if it's normal, what do you suggest to increase the game's performance?anyway, this is the update method from the game loop:
public function update():void
{
//cek kondisi untuk melakukan spawn char

hi guys, basically quick rundown is:
1. container1-->bitmap image with bitmapData.
2. container2-->bitmap image with bitmapdata.
3. im using the latest tweenmax
4. have correctly added a 2 seperate scrollrects to container1 and container2 that takes the width and height of the stage.
5. tweenmax is only moving the rectangles.
I get the effect i want, however, it still lags a choppy animation. Anyone know how come?

I embedded some characters using embed tag in flash CS3(font.swf). 2 separate swf(a.swf,b.swf) loads the font.swf on runtime. These 2 swf are being called from a container(parent) swf. It looks find locally and not time consuming to load. But when I view it from a server, computer lags after a while....(all file sizes are relatively small.around 160kb). What needs to be done in order to prevent computer from lagging? Is it better to load font.swf not in separate swf but directly in container(parent).swf?

I have a movieclip that shows an animation onRollOver and an animation on RollOut but onRelease the animation enlarge itselfs but now when I'll roll out when the animation isn't open (so i didn't release) the animation plays the animation for the minimizing of the animation. Here's my code (I know its a bit amateuristic but I'm not a programmer )

I ran a simple live video streaming application for the first time with actual users and ran into a couple of serious performance issues that had not turned up during testing. In this instance there was one video stream from a live web cam and used FMLE at 150 kbps using VP6 and MP3 @22k. There were 16 clients and everything worked pretty good for about 30 minutes. (although some clients said their audio and video were out of sync by up to 3 seconds)
Then individual clients would have either the video freeze or the video would continue and the audio would stop. These clints had to "disconnect" and then "connect" again to the application. This happened to all of the clients at one time or another for several minutes. I stopped and restarted the FMLE with progessively lower bandwidth settings down to 75 kbps but still clients were having the same issue.
I eventually stopped the FMLE and used the applications built in publisher at 45 kbps and that seemed to eliminate the freeze/dropping issue. But of course the video quality was very poor and some clients still reported that the audio was out of sync with the video. The server hosting the FMS application is a quad processor dell with lots of memory and network connectivity. The Flash Media Admin Console performance graph showed the total Bandwidth as 3 Mbps at maximum.

I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

ok lets say you create a button that when held down play an animation of 20 frames if realsed it goes to frame one and stops if held down it plays out this animation. for the topic lets say you have a fire animation and you want the fire to apear and if the user hold its down the animation reaches the end of the time line and loops back and plays the last 5 frames of the animation and as soon as it is let go it goes to and stops at frame one. Well i know how to make a button that when held down plays out an animation. And i know how to say when released goes to and stops at frame one. What i dont know how to do is to loop the fire at the last 5 or 6 frames so the user can hold it down all day long and play out that animation.

so I have a looping animation that is several frames long. Inside the animation is a button, when pressed I want to go to another part of the timeline, where another animation is waiting. Simple, I got that working no problem. But... I need the first animation to go to the last frame in the loop before starting the next animation. The way I have it now makes an ugly cut, and the transition between animations isn't seamless.

I made an animation in Flash which I want to embed in Flex using SWFloader.
I've imported the tweener class (caurina.transitions.*) to tween a rotation. The animation runs perfectly in Flash.
However, when I embed the animation in Flex, the tweening is gone.
Do I need to import the tweener class in Flex?
I use Flash Player 10 (latest version), Flash CS4 Professional version 10.0.02, IE8 and Flex Builder 3.

I have a certain set of motion twains that I've successfuly completed, they constantly loop right now (default), and is saved in the SWF file.I'd like to take that finished looping animation, and insert it within another animation (a) that can be played with a play button, and stopped/resetted with a stop button.How do I insert the completed looping animation into the main animation? And is there something special I have to do in the actionscript of the start and stop buttons so that the "inner" looping animation will start and stop with the "outer" main animation?
