Professional :: Frame Rate Goes Down When Movie Isn't Visible, Can Stop It
Mar 4, 2011
I understand that in order to make it consume less CPU cycles flash player forces the player to only execute at 2fps (or some other ridiculously low amount) when the swf is no longer in focus (or even if it's still "in focus" but not being rendered to the screen by virtue of being in a section of the browser window that's scrolled offscreen.) Is there any possible way to change this? I have a 3D engine that needs to keep the FR up.
it possible to set the frame rate of an externally loaded movie to a different frame rate than the movie it is embedded within. I basically have a flash site that loads flash movies using loadMovie command, however, the frame is lost within these movies and simply adopts the main site frame rate.

I'm recording Webcam to FMS 3.5 but when I play the recorded video from FMS it's choppy. I have set the camera.fps to 30 but when I trace out the currentFPS for camera it's variable and usually falls between 20 and 30. However when I play the recorded video, netStream's currentFPS returns a lower value, something closer to 10. So my question is, 1) why currentFPS of netStream is not the same as Camera's? 2) What's the actual frame rate of the recorded video (not the netStream, but FLV's)?
I recently built a flash movie that I am going to export out into a quicktime movie for YouTube. I mistakenly built it with the frame rate of 12 fps and I need to switch it to 30 to make it compatible for YouTube.
My question is:
Is there an easy way to change the frame rate from 12 to 30 and keep the same timing that I have with the movie at 12fps? The only way I can think to do it is manually, but I was wondering if there is an easier way.
I've got various mc's sitting inside my overall site. The FPS of the overall site is 20 but I want to run another mc inside it at 10 and different one at 28.Is this an actionscript task or is there another way of doing it?
I have an older flash application, it uses actionscript 2. Its logic is heavily tied to the frame rate (using onEnterFrame lots of times). I need to accelerate its calculations.
The maxmimum frame rate Flash Professional lets me specify for it is 120. Is there any way to make this higher? I don't necessarily have to change the fla or the swf, being able to play it faster locally would be sufficient, if the flash player can be tweaked to accomplish that.
I am a student and I use CS4 on a Mac on one of the schools computers. One of the animation projects I am working I need to animate a music video. To do this I calculated out the BPM of the song and set the frame rate at 23.3 FPS so that I would have 20 Frames between beats. Then to have a visual representation of the timing I set a layer that has a red dot blink for 2 frames every 20 frames starting on the first beat.
With it set up like this and I run the animation in Flash it keeps time correctly and works. However, when I test the video the time is off. I tried changing the frame rate to 60fps as an arbitrary number to see if adjusting the frame rate had any affect of the test file but when I tested the video at 60fps it did not run any faster than before. I exported the video to a SWF and MOV file but it was still off.
I'm trying to find a way to make a certain movie clip run at a faster frame rate than the main timeline. I've searched around a lot and only found ways to make it go at a slower frame rate (using the FPS Controller Component).
I am building a small flash application. In my application I've inserted an fla video. the flv video's length when I open it in vlc player is 16 seconds (after I edit the speed of the video in an external program and then converted it back to fla). When I open it in flash cs 5, the video's length is back to 90 seconds. I guess it's got something to do with the frame rate of my flash project. I'd like to be able to change the frame rate of only the movie clip containing that video, and not of the entire stage. How is that possible?
How to adjust the frame rate of an imported movie so that it would run in its intended fps rate, and not at the same rate as the presentation in which is importing it. (To be more specific, my main presentation runs at 1 fps, but the intro movie I want to add runs at 20 fps). Anyway, along my travels, someone pointed me towards the code at [URL]. I have since downloaded it and tried to get it to work. As it turns out, I know so little about flash and actionscript programming that I am unable to get it to work properly!
According to the comments in the code, it is executed by calling the fPlayControl() function, which has the following syntax: _levelN.fPlayControl(_root.mcMovie,nFPS) where (quoting now) "'N' is the level number of where this swf is loaded and 'mcMovie' is a movie clip on the _root timeline of the movie that is calling this function and 'nFPS' is a number between 1 and 120."
I don't even know what levels are! Are they layers? Thus, the first layer is level 0? Then the next layer is level 1? Next, how do I give an imported movie a name so that I can call this function with the movie's name as parameter? I tried importing a movie into the library, and then giving it a name, but I still couldn't get the bloody thing to work.
My steps to attempt to get this to work: I opened the play_control.fla file, and chose "Import to library..." I then selected my little intro movie, and then I brought up the library, and renamed it. I also choose the "Export for ActionScript" option, which automatically highlighted one or two other options. Then I added this one line after all the other ActionScript code: _level0.fPlayControl(_root.myintro,1); Anyway, after doing that, nothing came up. Then I added another layer and inserted the intro movie from the library into it and played the movie again. This time the intro played, but it zoomed along (at I'm assuming 120 fps, which is what the speed is set to in the demonstration file I downloaded). Thus, it still wasn't working.
I'm trying to increase the speed of a single movieclip. The frame rate of my movie is 12, and I don't want to increase the frame rate of the entire movie just to speed up one movieclip.I've seen tutorials all over the web, and all the actionscript controlled speeds of movieclip tutorials are for more interactive animations, such as mouse movements and rollovers.I'm looking for something that simply plays a movieclip faster on the timeline and I'm sure there is a simple code for this.
What would be best practice for speeding up an animation? - Increase the frame rate, or is that considered cheating (already set to 25)? The alternative would be to manually adjust the length of the tweens on each layer.
Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3. When I export a video from Premiere with the settings: 1280x720frame rate of 23.976using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),"embed video on SWF and play in timeline" When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either.
I'm new to AS3 and desperately trying to figure out how to smoothly accelerate the frame rate of a movie clip (let's say from 0 to 24 over the course of a second or two) as a result of rolling over a button. I've been working on it for about a week just to get this far, and now I've hit a wall. Here's my code thus far:
stop(); var cf:int; var fr:int = 1;[code]....
Basically, right now it starts at a very slow frame rate and stays there, never getting up to 24 fps. The only two objects in the scene are button1 and box1. The desired functionality is that when you hover over button1, the box1 movie clip starts playing slowly then accelerates up to 24 fps and continues playing at that rate until you roll out of button1.
Does anyone know how to trace out the frame rate that a swf is currently playing at?I've tried creating two date objects on adjacent frames, running the getTime() method on each and subtracting the difference but it seems to be the same regardless of what I set the movie's frame rate to in the property inspector...I am basically trying to monitor the performance of an animation at runtime and make adjustments on the fly based on how fast or slow the movie is playing.
How do you have a static frame visible when the FLV movie is not playing? Let's say I have embedded a FLV in a site and I want a static image visible instead of just a black box) before the end user presses play.
I have a movie clip with a stop command on frame 1 and a stop command on frame 20.I'm trying to have two separate buttons that tell the MC (onRollOver) to play forward or to play backwards.
The actionscript on button #1- PHP Code: on(rollOver){ gotoAndPlay(_currentframe +1);} The actionscript on button #2-
i created a two layer in time line in one layer there is a movieclip called mc1. In the same layer in 15th frame i have another movie clip mc2. Inside the movieclip mc2 i created another movie clip at frame10 now if i clik the the mc1 on first frame The movie clip should goto and stop at tenth frame
i'm very new at flash and finally ended all the work i wanted to do here. now i just need to had the actions so it will run properly. basically i just need it to stop in each frame and run the animation of the movie clip on that frame. if it's i can put the project here so you can see what and were i need to had the actions.
I have four movie clips (.f4v) in 4 frames in a movie with watch buttons.. This movie has them been imported into a main movie container that has next and previous buttons. However if i play a movie then hit next frame, the movie continues to play in the background. The code below shows one of the actionscripts for a movie clip and then the main actionscript in the main movie.[code]...
1. I make a simple movie (call it movieClip) first frame has stop(); action, second frame has label playMovie, last frame has action gotoAndPlay(2); (so that movie not stop anymore2. Now I place movieClip on stage3. Question... what is code to make movieClip play frame label playMovie?
I already try to put many different type action in frame one of stage this.movieClip.gotoAndPlay("2"); //NOT WORK this.movieClip.gotoAndPlay(2); //NOT WORK
I got a MovieClip filled with a lot of others clips... When I change de X or Y value of this first MovieClip the frame rate slows down for during 1 frame. For exemple... I created a counter that returns around 30 mseconds every frame, but when I do this X or Y change the return is around 400 mseconds... When I try to fill the first MovieClip with less information it goes faster, about 100+-200 mseconds...
I have a layer I am using for construction purposes, it shows though in test movie. If I go to publish settings and untick include hidden layers on the flash tab, when I test movie, my cars don't appear along the guide lines at all and just pop into view as movie ends. How does one hide turned off visibility layers during test movie without affecting hidden guide lines ?
