in the "Interactive 3D Video Flip" tutorial i take the cod and applied to my stuff I noticed that when the page was rotated the Flash player consume 40-50% from my CPU , how it's possible? the animation it's finish but the CPU it's 40-50% used . tested in mozilla and IE and from Flash ( when i test the movie) Pentium 4 and athlon 64 X2 tested!!!.. windows 7 last version of flash player 10.045.

I'm user of relatively weak computer (pentium IV 3.0 with hyper-threadingiem) but with a bit newer graphic card - asus radeon HD4650I'm not big new games fun, I'm useing my hardware most to internet access so I would rather not to buy new computer in the near future. But also I would like to have possibility to watch flash movies fluently on full screen (eg. youtube, video streeming). Unfortunatelly, till now, it was pretty weak. I got hope that afther new flash release (lately), which should use computing power of graphic card and making CPU work lighter.
Unfortunatelly, afther flash update (10.1) I haven't noticed any changes - everything work in the same way (not fluently) as at old flash. CPU usage is still ca.100% and GPU usage is 0% (I can see it in control panel) What is wrong? Is it this version of flash what should use GPU or it is not yet? Maybe I should configure something more? Or is it possible that I made something wrong? I've tried few times, made lots of work and combinations (instaling and reinstaling different versions of flashs, graphic card drivers, browsers changing etc) and still nothing.
Do anybody know about how flash player render the content when we do the scaling? Let's say i have 2 flash swf file. swf1 : the stage size is 2000 px x 2000 px. + 1 movieclip with 100% transform swf2 : the stage size is 1000 px x 1000 px. + 1 movieclip with 50% transform Let's say there is a movie clip on swf1. So i copy the same movie clip to 1000 px x 1000 px file and transform the movieclip to 50%. So it will look the same if i scale the swf2 x 2. If there is any different on swf1 and swf2 in team of CPU usage or etc?
Like is it true when playing swf2 need more CPU usage than swf1 because swf2 need to do the scaling but swf1 not. Just not sure which way i should develop the content. Because i have to make some content and the width/height are about 3000 px. So i am thinking if i should set the stage close to limit 2880 or just make the content like swf2. And my concern is if it will use more CPU when do the scaling.
Does anyone know of a light flip class to flip a movieclip that is animated? Away3D is overkill for this project since this simple flip is the only 3D effect needed.
View 0 Repliescreating a flip-book in flash (using AS3) . I've looked at the other flip-book programs and editors out there, and none really give the customization that my company wants.I have something working, but the page scoping seems to be off. The pages will turn back and forward with a button click but they flip out of order. However, it all runs fine with no error when the user clicks on the pages themselves. This is the code from the main timeline (where I'm getting an error).

View 4 RepliesAll three of my family's computers have been experiencing problems with the firefox plugin container. The container spikes the CPU for long, long, periods of time slowing overall performance noticably.The only way to address the problem is to kill the Firefox plugin container.When I kill the plugin container it kills Adobe Flash.I've tried clearing the flash cache from the Adobe troubleshooting site, deleting all cache applications, and changing settings.My family plays Farmville which is always hanging and can only be fixed by restarting the computer. Okay, maybe farmville is a bad app.
View 3 Repliesi've got a pretty small (in my opinion) usage of motion tween on the following site: [URL]
the circles are moving around and rotating.. not that big of a deal compared to many much more flash intensive websites that i've seen.
on a few computers i've viewed the website on, this page slows down the rest of the computer, the circles move real choppy, etc so it's very taxing on the computer/processor. making this a less intense flash tween? is it something that i'm overlooking or is what my flash file is doing truly that difficult for a computer/browser to process?
I want to have 8 cards on the stage, each card represents an animal and if you click on that card, it will flip over and zoom to fill the screen. When it flips over it will give a fun fact about that animal and in the lower right corner it wil have a 'close' button to bring you back to the stage where the other cards are.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to make a basic card game where I can flip the cards and also drag them around. Here's the code for card.as, the file that's controlling my cards.
package{ import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
public class Card extends MovieClip { private var _type:*;
public function Card() { this.buttonMode = true;
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
} private function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void { this.play();
} public function setType(type:*):void { _type = type;
loader_mc.addChild(_type); }}}
I've been trying to add draggability to the card, but I'm not sure how to do it. Do I need a separate ".as" file to control it? Or, do I build it right into this file? If so, how would I do that? I tried making a separate ".as" file but then my basic card flipping code doesn't work.
I'm building a retro airport scene and would like a marquee that reacts like a flip clock: [img] [URL] In theory, when the user clicks on the "Arrivals/Departures" screen, the entire screen turns into this flip clock-looknig screen and all the letters and numbers form when the machine gets to their letter. The entire animation will only last a couple of seconds, so the user is not waiting on the computer to deliver all the information, but the different letters take different amounts of time to load depending on where they are in the alphabet.
View 2 RepliesIn my flash file, I embedded a .swf (different page flip from my previous posts) that loads when "Clothes" button is clicked in the flash file.
When I navigate away from this page, it unloads. However, when i click on "Clothes" again with the .swf, the page flip won't load. [URL] To load the pageflip (under "Clothes"), I'm using:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("magazine_flip.swf"); myLoader.x = -300; myLoader.y = -165; myLoader.load(url); myLoader.unload(); To unload (for all other buttons), I have: myLoader.unload();
i would like to add an animation page inside a page flip.

View 2 RepliesI'm developing a touch-screen Flash application for a shoe store, and it runs fine initially, but slows down toward the end of the day. I've been diligent with removing event listeners and so on. I've now narrowed the problem to be very specific - it's one section of the application causing the problem, and one part of that section:
- I have a main movie clip which contains the animation, which itself contains 5 nested movie clips, each with their own timeline. All movie clips have a stop action on the final frame. images are transparent PNGs with outer glow "filter" - the issue is not with performance as such, but with CPU increasing over time. Each time you play the clip, there is a small amount of CPU usage that 'sticks' and doesn't get freed up. What happens is that if you play the movie clip many (MANY MANY) times, then eventually it starts to slow down. Mac's Activity Monitor shows that the idle CPU usage is increasing slowly, over many times of playing the clip. It's insignificant with each play, but adds up over time.
You may be inclined to say: oh filters effect CPU, so it will be slow - but it isn't slow until it plays many, many times. Initially it's fast. I've uploaded a .zip with .app and .exe versions of my problem section. There are two files of each type: AutoPlay.app (& .exe): plays the problem clip repeatedly (I've just removed the final 'stop();' frame), so you can leave it open and come back in half an hour to see it slowing down.
ClickToPlay.app (& .exe): Plays the problem clip once when you click the 'play' button, so you can click several times, let it return to idle, and verify that the idle CPU usage is in fact increasing.

View 2 RepliesHi,
I am building a cryptex( the dial device from Da Vinci Code)(See attached image) I built a 3D version and I want the user to be able to turn the dials and when they release, it triggers an action. There are two ways I am considering, but not sure which is easier considering I am a beginner to actionscript:
1.) I can render out small movies of each dial turning 360 degrees, but would it be possible for the user to drag the dial and cycle through the keyframes of the clip? I saw an example of using a slider to cycle through keyframes but don't know if this is possible.
2.) The dials were built and animated in flash. (Though I am unsure if this can be done without some 3D Flash plugin, which I don't have)
Any thought or tutorials that relate to this would be greatly appreciated. I looked for slot machine tutorials, since it has similar dials but had no luck.
Thanks
