SLOW Windows Animation When Editing Symbols?
Jun 11, 2009
when i double click a symbol or button to edit it, I get this strange windows-like animation of a chequered rectangle that comes out from where I double click and gets bigger and bigger. Once its as big as the screen I can then edit the symbol.Its like its something to do with vista. If I bring up other applications whilst its doing it the rectangle is always on top and visible over everything. It's like some sort of windows "zoom" animation but for some reason its doesnt work quickly and is painfully slow... 10 seconds or so and when i come out of symbol editing it does the same in reverse.

I am having a problem with a flash source that I am editing: the Flash program moves very slow, it takes about 4-5 seconds to recognize that I have made a click or a selection. It is not all the time like this. When I open the source, it moves ok for a while but after a short time it becomes impossible to edit. When I try to make a selection, edit the library or even write a word in ActionScript, it takes 5 seconds to recognize that I am making this (during this period, the cursor turns to the loading state).
Have you had this problem ? What could cause this ? Could the flash source be damaged ? Or could this be caused by my computer ? I should mention that I do not have any problem at all with my other flash sources. One other thing that I should mention is that the flash source (a site that I am editing for a client) has about 14 mb in file size and the way that it is coded is not exactly efficient, far from it. Could this cause it ? One last thing to mention is that I have about 70 mb of free space on the drive on which I am running the Flash program from. The flash file is a Flash 8 format. I tried editing it using both Flash 8 and Flash CS3 but I have the same problem.

Flash is just unusable, because of extremely slow performance. Selecting a tool or typing in actionscript takes forever. I've also noticed that sometimes (yes only sometimes), flash.exe takes alot of CPU usage, even when doing simple things like mentioned above.
At the same machine, 2 days ago, before upgrading from Vista Ultimate x64 to Windows 7 Ultimate x64, everything was working perfect.

I am working on a short animated story, which has a scrubbable timeline and chapter headings. I used TimelineMax for sequencing it. For the most part, it is working fine. I am seeing some strange behavior that pop up, though: sprites disappear, functions stop responding to user input, seams of the sprites become transparent -- all small issues but pretty hard to nail down because they happen in Mac only.
So I am wondering what is wrong with Flash, and why it misbehaves on a Mac?

I have problems with flash games and some advanced flash applications.Problems occurs regardless of browser.My computer is next:CPU: 2.8GHz hyper threadRAM: 1.5 GB (3 pieces)GPU: Nvidia 7600 GS Gigabyte.When it runs some flash game e.g. Facebook Pet Society, CPU load goes high as 80 to 100 %. It is very annoying thing since I am starting to loose my mind how to solve this.All other applications are running very good. This means games, 720p HD videos etc etc.

I'm working on an IK based character animation, and I have a question about the different IK "types".I've started by creating a charater, created using symbols to represent the various body parts, which works great, and I've created a shape based armature as well to handle the mouth because the shape based animation works perfectly for animating it.Is there a way to "attach" the shape armature to the symbol armature to that the mouth will move with the head during animation? It is difficult to keep the mouth armature aligned with the face manually, and the bones don't "stick" when I drag them from the symbol armature to the shape armature.

I just realized I was working on 4:3 when I need to make a 16:9 movie. So I resized the stage, but now everything is on the left side.
I tried turning on "edit multiple frames" and marked the entire stage, layers and frames and moved everything to the centre. Almost everything moved, excepted for material that is on motion tween key frames.

I have Flash CS3 installed (windows) I have two images, I shape tween from one to the other.
The .fla file is 15MB in size, and the .swf is 800kb,
My problem is that, even though I've set the animation to run at 30fps, I barley manage more than 1.4fps a second, it should take 5seconds to complete, yet its taking 140seconds.
I have a 2GHZ dual core PC, with 2GB RAM,
I want it to be a smooth transition.

I am having a issue with CS5 flash iphone app displaying slow laggy animations when I use a background image. I have pinpointed this issue by making a simple iphone application with only a vertically accelerating ball and one background image. If I use the background image the ball will animate slow and laggy, without the image it performs fine.
Also...while I have your attention, does anyone know why only CS5 will allow me to compile IPA files that will run on my 1G ipod touch with ios 3.1.3. I would like to use CS5.5, but the IPA from that version will not run on my device.

I've created a small animation containing a few images which i have converted to graphic symbols so I can alpha-tween them. I tweened the first image then copy/pasted the frames to do the next using the swap symbol function. When swapping the symbol I selected the desired symbol and pressed okay but nothing happened - I then dragged the desired symbol out of the library and onto the stage then deleted the previous symbol. As soon as I did that the new symbol I had just dragged out switched back to the previous symbol. [URL]. I have CS4 V10.0

I'm new to flash and I'm working on an animation project for my class. I decided to do half of it as single cell animation and half of it using tweens and whatnot. The parts that are single celled are moving WAY to fast and are throwing off the flow with my tweens. It's a requirement of the project to have atleast 20 fps and I don't have enough time to dedicate to drawing tons of more cells. For example, I have one animation made up of 40 frames and it needs to be stretched to about 100 frames. I've tried copying all of the cells into a movie clip and attaching a stop(); method at the final frame in the movie clip, then importing that into my movie and stretching it to the length i need, but it just runs at the normal animation rate and then stops until the timeline gets to where it's time for the next event or scene to take place. It sort of looks like i need to find a way to control the fps of my movie clip independently of the entire movie, but how would i go about that?

The problem is that after calling ( _root.ballInHole.start(); ) my animation slow down. Im just changing position of 32 mc objects with no timeline on OnEnterFrame event of main timeline. When I'm not calling the sound then is everything perfect and fast as intended.

Should I use Movie Clip or Graphic Symbols for Character Animation? What do people who make TV shows use. If I'm not planning on manipulating any symbols with ActionScript and I'm not using a symbol that requires it's own time line like a walk cycle, is there any reason to use movie clips symbols? If I put my animation on the web will it download noticeably faster if I use graphic symbols instead of movie clip symbols?

This is to be exported into a movie, so not an Actionscript question. I'm making a parody of a fighter-game scenario. One character looks like Subzero and the other like Scorpion. They're the same models but one should be colored differently. They're comprised of symbols such as arms and legs to make a larger overall character animation. There are several animations of them, for kicks, punches, bobbing, etc. Now, I know that if I went in and edited the colors, that all instances would change accordingly. Duplicating the symbol doesn't work because they share the same inner symbols. Is there a method for "deep" duplication? A tint doesn't work because essentially I only want to change the color of some of the components.

I have dynamic text that needs to animate slowly across the screen but right now it jerks in 1 pixel increments as compared to the vector graphics accompanying it.
I've increased the frame rate, converted it to a bitmap, applied GridFitType, etc., none of which (or my implementation) seemed to work.
Is there a way to achieve smooth animation with dynamic text at slow animation speeds?

I have a project for mobile where some of my animations scenes look as though they are winding up or playing in slow motion (from the start). They start out slow for about three seconds, as if they are winding up or in slow motion, and then they run at a normal pace. It only happens on specific animations and is consistent on different devices. Also, once I come back to the scene (revisit), the animations run normally from start to finish.
I have had some success in speeding up some animation by doing the following: In some scenes, the following would occurr: 1) a character was walking 2) the character grew in size though tweening 3) the background was animated as well ect. In other words, there were several things happening in the animation. In this example, I made it less complex by keeping the character the same size and making the background static. This helped alot. However, for the aforemation animations, I have tried everything (I am aware of) and nothing has helped. I'm not sure what to do next.

I'm working through a book called Foundation Game Design with Flash, and I'm finding the Flash IDE confusing. I've been programming for several years, so working with AS3 directly is far easier than trying to understand symbols and nested symbols and the difference between graphics and movie clips and scoping issues and all that -- when tied into the IDE.
How many of you who are making games in AS3 also use the Flash IDE? Can anyone recommend a resource that is AS3 heavy and Flash IDE light? I don't care how much time I may or may not save by using things like the timeline, I just want to understand what I'm using.

I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.
