Mac Plays Timeline Animation Slower Than PC?
Jan 24, 2010
I have an issue with how Macs play timeline animation slower than PC. On the PC the animation plays right and syncs correctly with the music.
I have a tree that grows, when it finished an axe chops it. The tree finishes and the axe starts chopping the tree at exactly 30 seconds into the song which is exactly how it is meant to happen.
Syncs right on PC but on Mac, the tree finishes and the axe starts chopping at 50 seconds into the song.
During the tree animation, I also have some other swf movies loading in the background so that it is preloaded and ready to go when required because I am trying to prevent any delays or the chance of a preloader from appearing when these swf needs to start playing.
What is causing the Mac to have a slower animation. I do notice in general than Macs take longer to play an animation than PC on a browser.
Is this just natural or do you think the Mac and PC difference caused here is due to me loading swf movies into the background?
What are my options to make the sync right. I can not make the animation actionscript based, so I am stuck with timeline based animation.
I think music streaming would be the best solution here. Right now, I am triggering the music as an event, but I am worried of the stuttering effect using streaming music, while my animation plays and swfs are loading in the background and the viewer has a slow PC.

When I play my animation in the Flash working file, the animation stops at the end of the timeline, as it should. But when I test the movie, or export it to any movie format, it will play an instance of a movie clip symbol that I used within the animation. There are no extra frames in the timeline beyond what should be considered the last frame. Is there a setting or something I have overlooked that might cause that instance of the symbol to play at the end of the animation, without appearing in the main timeline?

I 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.

What I want to do is create a page that many other pages link to. This will be my index page. When it loads, the Flash movies play.But, when they return to this page after leaving it to go somewhere else on my site, I don't want the movies to play again.I thought of just having an HTML page that looks exactly like it and then linking the other pages to it, but, since there are a whole lotta pages that need to link to it, search engines might rank that dummy page more highly making it the landing page and then no one would ever visit the real index page with the animations. What to do? Here's a prototype of the page I'm talking about.

Image mouse overs cause fades the image to "black and white" and calls up a "view more" animation.
As far as I can tell, there are no sprites or images associated with this "view more" clip! I have searched everywhere, the images, graphics, movies, root directory.

I have made a flash button, but I have a small problem. When i hover the mouse over the MC, my animation works fine. But when I remove the mouse, it plays the animation again. I can't figure out why. The animation is only supposed to play as the mouse hovers over the MC, and only then.Here's my code:
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_picture_mc = true;
} on (rollOut) {

I have a demo/spec file I'm working with (download the .fla here): [URL] I'd like to have a movie clip (FLV) start playing AFTER the animation stops playing. I know once I bring the clip in, I'll have to give it an instance name and reference it in AS, but I'm not just not sure exactly how to start. I feel like the whole timeline thing traps me up...

I'm developing a web app with PHP and I need to test if a page of a website has background music. As many of you already know, this is the list of the tag (I miss someone?) where the background sound can be inserted in a webpage:[code]While checking if there's background audio because of the presence of the tag bgsound or audio is easy to do, testing if a flash animation has the sound is not so easy (at least for me).I know that I can check if a tag embed has in the src attribute something like sound.mp3 but how can I test if the sound is totally embedded in the flash animation?I searched a lot to find an answer but unfortunately I've not found one.

I am trying to accomplish the following:
In my Library, I would like to have a symbol that I can drag to the stage, and when I compile my flash movie and click on the symbol it plays a certain animation. I would prefer for the animation to be defined in the class rather than sit on the timeline.
I have tried various approaches to this and I keep hitting walls, so instead of running down more blind alleys I figured I'd just ask the question... what is the best approach in flash to accomplish this?

What I have is a ninja star that spins around and moves based on the accelerometer of your phone. I created a balloon popping animation and have it all working well. The problem is that as of right now I can either have it be static and animate once the ninja star hits it, or I can have it randomly move and then play the animation which is not what I want. I want it like this: When the ninja star hits the balloon, the animation of it popping plays. And then once the animation is complete, then I want it to randomly move to a new position on the stage. (so the user can hit it again, and so forth...)
Here is my code so you can all take a look.
import flash.sensors.Accelerometer;
import flash.events.AccelerometerEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var my_acc:Accelerometer = new Accelerometer();
my_acc.setRequestedUpdateInterval(50);

Click on any of the 3 circles to make them animation in/out. Notice how there is bad choppiness when they animate.I don't have this problem (or at least its very minor) when playing the file locally through Test Movie or in the standalone flash player.Only noticeable when playing it on my web server in the browser.Is this an aliasing issue?Is my web server not powerful enough to play it?

I have made an animation in Flash, that would be ported to the iPhone/iPad; I want the animation to play when you rotate your finger on the screen and to stop immediately when the finger is lifted (Without starting the animation over), When the user would continue rotating their finger, the animation would continue to play.
How would I approach this in ActionScript 3.0?

I made an intro animation for a website. Packaged it up into a movie clip, selected "Export for ActionScript", dragged it into my timeline, and gave it an instance name (myIntro_mc).
This is not an exported swf... it only exists in my library as a symbol (and what ever folder of classes it goes to when you export for action script).
The intro plays some animation, has a button to continue to the site, plays some more animation and then stops.
The movie clip is in its own layer and has 4 frames of the main timeline.
If I don't tell the main timeline to stop in frame 1, the intro never shows up... playback goes directly to frame 5 (which is the home page).
If I put a stop(); in the first frame the intro plays and stops and the main timeline never resumes.
I can't sort out how to tell the movie clip to play the parent timeline when it reaches the end... nor can I figure out how to wait in the main timeline for the intro to finish playing before resuming the main timeline.
I've been gnawing at this an embarrassing amount of time and have tried all sorts of bad code in both the main timeline and in the child movie clip.

I am currently coding a drag and drop style game where you drag a seed to a target and it plays an animation within the seed movieclip. I am using classes to import instances of the see onto the stage and the problem I am having is that the animation plays on top of everything on the stage in my .fla file. Is there a way to have the animation play under a layer on my main timeline? I've tried to find an answer to this problem but to no avail. I have attached my files

My question is how do I incorporate playback controls to a Embedded Video that plays with the timeline? I saw how easy it was to add playback components when you import video externally. I figured that I probably need to start by creating my play back components, but then I need code to tell the swf what to do?

I have built a couple of sites in Flash, however, I have a problem with a current site I'm working on. My client wants various photos to fade out in a "checkerboard" fashion, which I am doing via its own movie clip and adding in the appropriate area on the main timeline. However, when I add a blank keyframe on the following page to add a new movie clip (with the next set of pictures, the timeline starts playing through the entire website, not recognizing stop actions or frame labels.

I download a flash template to take apart and play around with to make sure i still know my way around the software. Everything was going great until I discovered there are part of it that I can not find. The animation are not in the timeline or anywhere else I've looked. When I scrub through it they aren't there, but when I preview the movie (F12) they are always there. I managed to delete the pictures in those particular animations, but can not edit or find anything else.
Here is the link to the file... [URL]

I have an animation that is timeline based. The file size is around 900kb for the entire project, as it has numerous images at different stages.
How does flash determine when to start playing the movie? Is it based on a percentage of loaded size or does it load assets as it moves along?

I'm using Flash 4 and AS2;I've composed the code such that my MC (called hole) will turn slowly upon entering the first frame:
var hole:MovieClip;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("rotator_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
rotator_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
hole._rotation += 1;
};
Then, on frame 55 I have:
rotator_mc.removeMovieClip();
to stop the clip. After that, I animated "hole" on the timeline to shrink... but when I play my movie, the timeline animation doesn't happen.
