View 3 RepliesI have a dashboard I created using Flash CS5 using CS5.5 and ActionScript 3.It seems that while this dashboard is running, the FPS gets slower and slower over time (over several hours) I am thinking that I might have a memory leak but I am not sure how to find out.The project is a Flash Projector exe that loads 8 independent swfs.Each swf file essentially calls a web service and gets XML dataThey then dynamically create a bunch of TextFields,assigns an event listener (Event.ENTER_FRAME) and animates across the screen.When the TextField goes off the screen, I clean up the Text field by removing the EventListenerremoving the TextField and setting the TextField to null.

I have tested the movie on ff (linux, mac, windows), ie, and safari.everything seemed to be fine. then one user tried to view it from his windows machine, and he had problems in both ff and ie.it was almost as if the flash movie was not transparent (the flash div overlays an html div.)and yes, i did set wmode to transparent.he is running xp, the newest flash, newest ff, and ie7. the other windows machines i've tested it on have the same.
View 1 RepliesI want to communicate between flash movies on two different machines. Is this possible? Maybe with Flex? Also, can you open a windows command prompt with flash and send it commands?
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash MX, but these movies might have been saved for Flash 4 (what I used to use). I'm using IE and I have tested on other browsers and it seams to have the same problem. I have two small flash movies playing as part of my site design but when I scroll, this clearly lag creating a 'white box' where the movies should be until they move. I'm pretty sure the lag is with them two movie clips. My site is at [URL] (it's on the main site that I have the lag). They are Flash 4 Swfs.
View 2 RepliesI have created a simple flash game similar to shooting balloons. You can find one example on this site. My game is working fine on windows in all browsers(locally & on server) and it is also working fine on Mac in safari & firefox but game is completely unplayable in chrome on Mac.Is this because of memory leaks in my game or is this the problem of chrome on Mac.And how can i trace memory leaks in my game. It is coded in AS3 using Flash CS5.

View 4 Repliesever since i got windows 7, my drawing wacom tablet lags on flash cs4 when i use the pencil tool and i don't know why it's doing that and i cannot see what i'm drawing because of this lag. I have updated my video card and my wacom tablet driver to windows 7 and still no luck. It worked perfectly on vista but i do not want to go back to vista.
View 2 RepliesWhen I'm watching larger videos (> 15 min) on the internet via flashplayer or divx, after some minutes, the video quality begins to decrease (like the video starts lagging). When I now press the pause button and resume the playing after a short period of time, like 10 seconds, the video quality is again like normal for another couple of minutes, but then the video quality again decreases, so I have to pause again for some seconds.
My question is, from a software design point-of-view, why does the pausing stop the video from lagging? I thought it could be because the software gets time to refresh its caches, but I would be really interested in the correct answer.
I want to create a flash program that tracks mouse and keyboard biometrics such as mouse movement speed, click rate, length of keystrokes and so forth. How can I ensure that if a user duplicates his/her actions across multiple machines with varying processor speeds I will record the same data?

View 1 Repliesi am making a game involving a number of balls that move across the screen. Everything works fine and dandy when I play the SWF on its own, but when I load it into another SWF, animation become increasingly choppy with time.
View 1 RepliesI 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?
View 3 RepliesIve been working on a game on and off for a while now. I've been extremely conscious with the performance because in my book a slow game is worse than no game at all. I even wrote a profiler class so I can really pinpoint any slow code. All this time Ive just been testing the game in the Flash CS3 environment by hitting CTRL+Enter. And everything runs quite smoothly.But today for the heck of it I actually published the Flash and ran it in my browser using the generated HTML file. In the browser everything runs slow as hell! The animation is extremely choppy, and sounds play up to 1 or 2 seconds later than theyre supposed to. This is absolutely unacceptable! Ive tried it in Firefox3 and Internet Explorer 7, and both are very slow compared to the Flash dev environment
View 14 RepliesI have built an application in flash, it is rather a large application that runs pretty smoothly, however it is a long list of graphs that run further than the application window so I use a vertical scrollbar and a mask to display them. The problem is everything becomes choppy the further you scroll down, any Tweens or movement and the framerate in general just appears to be much much lower.
When you get to the bottom it is unbearable although there is the same amount of movieclips and same amount of detail throughout the scroll, so I don't see why there should be this massive performance hit for going down a bit.

So i have a fake preloader going... doesnt actually preload, but just does the 'action'. my issue it gets to 100% way too fast. As its not really loading anything, how do i slow this down so its takes about 3 seconds to "complete loading?"

Im trying to write the codes for buttons that make a Square rotate faster and slower. I tried hard but it did not work.
how about a slider to control speed of the square_mc. can some1 give me the code.
this is the code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, startRotate);
function startRotate(evt:Event):void {
// Call function rotateSquare

i set FMS running fine. I have even enabled TCP port forward, not that i need it localy.the thing is, from other machines the FMS wont answer. FME is going

if i go from another lan machine, it simply wont connect.. nor does Access.log relates to anything trying to connect to it. (from other machine, from same machine everything goes smooth)
I produced an ActionScript 3.0, Flash Player 10 swf in a newly downloaded CS5 (trial version). The file loads fine in both Chrome and Safari on my computer. But when I open it on another machine I only get five animated dots - ..... - in a "wait while loading" manner. The swf never starts. Same on my brother's computer.
My browser has Flash Player 10,1,52,14 installed along with CS5 (swf works). My other computer claims to have Flash Player 10,1,53,38 installed (swf doesn't work). My brother's computer has Flash Player 10,0,45,2 (swf doesn't work).I've tried various publish configs such as on/off xml meta data, on/off hidden layers, embed minimal or more of my font etc.When I configure for ActionScript 2.0 and/or Flash Player 9 my animation breaks totally.
I am working on a large batch of banners with another designer. We are both using the same assets, the same version of Flash (CS4) and are both working on Macs. We are also both using the same fonts through Universal Type Client yet when I open files that he has produced the text elements display lower down than they should. If I align them correctly on my machine and then give back the file the text appears too high when he opens it. There are no font errors when the files are opened and the characters display fine except for the alignment. Does anyone know what might be causing this in Flash or is it an issue with the fonts themselves?
View 3 Repliesi was testing all the ways i know .. (limited thinking) to solve this
[Code]...
how to tackle it. The worst part is, is that I'm not able to reproduce it on my machine, so at this point, I have no errors to chase down, and no diagnosing tools to see what's happening.
Here's the main issue:
We have this large content sharing site that loads a handful of external swfs, and one of the external swfs does not load for a handful of our site's users. Frustratingly, it loads perfectly fine for me and many other users in a relatively wide variety of environments (PC/Mac/various browsers/virtual machines), so this goes a little beyond MY SWF'S NOT SHOWING UP
Here are some details that might be causing this error:
The main swf has grown rather large. It publishes to just over 600 KB, and more than half of that is Actionscript. I actually had to turn off compress and optimize, because it stopped compiling (this has been a long-running project that has steadily grown over time). I'm pushing for budget to re-architect the site, but that's another story.
The main swf loads a dataset of 5,000+ content piece details (~10 fields of numbers/text each).
As you can see, I'm starting to think this might be a memory issue, which would explain why it's not hitting me and a lot of other people in the office.
However, it might also be a shared object issue. Since I'm running solely off of feedback from user -> client -> us, it sounds like some of the users DO see the swf the first time around, and there might be a shared object error being thrown.
The external swf uses a shared object to save the users project. One of the users (who was experiencing this problem) had an in interesting folder structure where the shared object folder was contained within a folder labeled [[IMPORT]]. I've spent some time googling this, but to no avail.

I am loading an external .swf file onto my stage. This is the script I am using:
[Code]...
It loads everything great, but it lags so bad when it plays!!! Am I loading everything prperly? The external .swf file is just under 200 kb, but that should be ok, right? there is a way to prevent lagging. maybe a way to ask for more ram from the computer?
I have this SWF that is pulling videos from YouTube through their API. Everything is working nicely until I go to another browser tab or cause the window the SWF is in to lose focus otherwise (largely by using any program aside from the browser). When I return to the tab/window that the browser is playing in, if I have been away for anything over like 20 seconds, the time text that indicates where the play head is plays catchup jumping over 3-5 seconds at a time. While the video is not making these jumps, what is happening is that any buttons for controlling the video become unresponsive until the time text actually has caught up with the current position in the video play head. Thereafter all functioning for my other buttons (play/pause, full screen toggle, and sharing) returns to normal. I am using a Timer that calls every millisecond.
