I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3. I want a timer to call a function at 50 ms intervals for 100 times. however the timer takes much longer than it should, which adds up to 1677 ms (1.677 seconds!) too much after 100 repeats. Am I missing something here or is the timer THAT inaccurate?

For some reason whenever I try to access a any of the files within a project that I'm working on it goes extremely slow. I'll click something, or type something and it'll take like 30 seconds before I actually see it do anything. I never had this problem with this project before, seems like it came out of no where. If I just make a new document, or goto another project it's fine.
View 7 RepliesIt's extremely slow to render any flash motion in CS4. I import to the stage some material and when I try to change and create any motion the processor usage raise up to 50% and the program freezing. It will be completly useless... Is there any solution to this problem?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;

some of you have been trying the prerelease of Air for Android like myself. Its all great and easy peasy to export the apps to my phone but it seems to be ridiculously slow even for seemingly simple scripts.
This is what i'm trying to run at the moment and the app times out before it gets running (All the apps do get running eventually but only after the time out timer could have run over multiple times).
import flash.display.Shape;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.sensors.Accelerometer;
import flash.events.AccelerometerEvent;
[Code]...
From what I can see theres nothing actually wrong with the code from what I can see but it just takes so frickin' long to load. If I make an app with some equally simple animations it loads almost instantly. I am aware that this is only a prerelease version of the software and the documentation does say that hardware acceleration has not been added yet but whenever I watch the videos up on youtube of the Adobe team making amazing apps with obviously buckets of script running smoothly on their phone I get annoyed
P.S The processor on my phone isn't the problem either (Nexus One Eclair )
I am fixing up a php script to receive a byte64 encoded image and store it to database
Here is my problem the script takes very long time, sometimes up to 5 minutes, to respond when flash calls the script(via a post request)
(i test it with a very small image)
if i remove the byte64 encoded data from the request it loads fast, and if i call the script from the browser with no data it is fast
i tried removing all php script from the script file so no php is run, and with data it is still slow.
I am using the following code to tween an movieclip once _global.choiceMade equals 1...
onClipEvent (load) {
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
}
[code]....
The script at the top is on a movieclip these buttons are contained in called buttonHolder which does what it says, and tweens the buttons across the screen to reveal a next button once an answer is chosen.
On my simple website, everytime i navigate to another page, the movie clip plays extremely fast and is out of sync with the sound.
View 1 Repliesmethod where you play a blank file, with a specific time length, and that will loop, and using that sound file, it will dispatch a event when it finishes, hence you get a very accurate loop.
View 4 RepliesI have a VERY odd problem, here it is: Description: I have a USA map, some states are clickable and have a rollover effect made via MCs. When you rollover a state, it changes color, and when you roll out it goes back to normal. If you click on a state a 'drop-down' layer rolls down with some text in it. You can close this layer by clicking again on the state or by clicking on a button of an 'X' at the top right of the layer.
My problem: When the map is first loaded, ALL the states' rollovers work properly, but once you click on a state the drop-down layers comes out fine but the rollover of that state and of **ALL the other states just stop working. In other words, when you put your mouse over any state after clicking on any of the other states, the rollover effect doesn't work anymore. Methods: The text inside the drop-down layer is being called from a text file with this code:

I'm using Flash CS5 and am currently working on an animation/advertisement as part of my final exam in Applied Art. This is a relatively large file consisting of internally animated Graphics and Movie Clips. When playing it in the .SWF player it seems to play fine with no extreme lag accept for a single second at the beginning but when exported to a .mov file it plays extremely slowly causing the frame rate to decrease considerably.I need to upload this onto my youtube channel when it is done as the link needs to be sent to the examiner. All this may have something to do with the fact the .mov file, although unfinished, already weighs 75.6MB at 30 seconds of work.

I want to create an extremely simple chat where any client can log into this webpage, two windows, one to enter text and the other to see messages. Very irc-like. How do I resolve the communication? In Director there was the multiuser server that let you talk among swfs, is there something similar in Flash MX? Or should I resort to php/mysql as the only way to go?
View 1 RepliesSo I'm using AlivePDF to generate a 6 page PDF with a range of text and graphics. It's a fairly large PDF, prob 4mb when saved. I need to be able to pass the PDF along with a few other variables to a PHP script that uploads the PDF and then sends an email.
Because I need to pass the PDF data along with other information, I've been using a standard POST request with URLVariables, only I Base64 encode the PDF ByteArray before sending to avoid any sort of corrupt data. This works fine, except the Base64 encode operation takes ~8 seconds, and sometimes longer on a slower machine, causing a timeout.
I am using an SWC library so that I could use the fl.controls.TextArea in my project in FlashDevelop. While working on an unrelated section of my code I noticed that all my TextArea objects had turned extremely blurry (both the text and the UI elements). I'm not sure when this started, but when I first added and setup the TextArea I spent a lot of time tweaking and configuring it and didn't have any issues with the sharpness of the object.
View 1 RepliesWhat is the difference between Timer.stop() and Timer.reset() functions because it seems that the 2 functions do the same thing? I image Timer.stop() to stop the timer and when Timer.start() is called the timer starts from where it stopped. For example, if I have a 3 sec. timer (3000 ms). If I stop the timer after 2.5 sec. and start the timer again, I would expect the timer to expire/trip within .5 sec.
View 1 RepliesI have a ActionScript 3.0 project and I have a timer that is running on 1000 millisecond intervals. I would like to delay this timer for 1500 milliseconds perform an action and start the timer again after the delay. I thought I could do this easily, but I'm having trouble, would it be better to stop the timer and perform the action and then listen for the action to be completed to start the timer again?

Assuming that the code is working fine (I haven't debugged it), this makes the particles to move all at once. However after several seconds of running it, the particles seem not to be moving in synchronization with each other (because their distances between seem to get nearer).
