I'm looking into ways to squeeze performance out of a flash installation.The installation has a huge stage size, 2800px x 2100px, is on a high spec machine, but I'm experiencing low frame rates.I'm wondering what the optimal set up is for a machine running this? Would flash prefer it if the system was set to optimise for background processes etc?

It's for a program that I run locally (converted .swf to .exe).
The program is also used on other computers so changing stuff in the registry or something like that isn't really what I'm looking for.
I tryed changing mouseX but it's read-only..
I am writing an AIR desktop application which needs to know the host name of the compute on which it is running.

The navigation buttons in my .fla file are set to the font, Arial MT in Bold. It displays no problem on my desktop computer. However, when I view the website on my laptops, the font changes to what looks to be something like Times New Roman. The same thing happens with my "Read More" button text. It's also originally in Arial MT Bold. On my desktop it appears fine but on my 2 laptops it appears to be in Times New Roman. This is more of an issue because I have these buttons underlined. When viewing in my laptops, these underlines appear to be too long. If I shorten it, it'll probably appear to be too short when I view on my desktop. How can I get the font to be one consistent font for all computers?

View 2 RepliesI have the student edition of adobe flash cs3 and I currently have it installed on my desktop. I was wondering if it is legal to also install it on my labtop. It is for personal use, I don't know if that changes anything. I'm sure this is somewhere on the adobe site, but I can't seem to find it.
View 1 RepliesUsing Migration Assistant on my mac I transferred all my files to another computer. All the other Adobe programs are starting up no problem (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) When I try to start up Flash CS4, it just freezes with the message "copying first run files.." and then it crashes.
I don't have the install discs unfortunately (or I would try to re-install) because this was given to me by a company I work for remotely.
Is it possible to retrieve computer information (RAM, hard drive size, cpu speed, etc.) using Adobe Flash?
View 2 RepliesI have pretty good basic "action script" skills for developing flash files and movies, but I don't know how to do dynamic things with asp, aspx, etc. I have a local application that runs form my computer and is not connected to the internet. The application keeps track of button clicks on each buttton as separate variables. Here is my question ... each time the flash movie runs and buttons are clicked, I want to record the clicks on each button (which exist in the application at runtime) and save them to something like an excel spreadsheeet or access database. Any easy way to do this without getting into server-side stuff?
View 3 RepliesI have a glowFilter applied to movie clips on rollover state. When I try and publish from this computer the glow is always red no matter what I set the color to. If I publish on another computer the color publishes normally. Is there some setting in my preferences somewhere that is causing this error or do I possibly need to do a clean install? I created an example attached with the code I am using. The glow is applied with Tweener as well.
View 7 RepliesI was wondering if anybody could help me out and tell me why my flash site looks different on different size computer screens?
I have built a site in flash and when I preview in html it looks different to how it does on my flash canvas (the text is a different size and takes up a different amount of space than on the original flash document). Then when I publish it and make it live it looks different on different size screens. On my laptop the text all fits in, but when I view it on my desktop the text cuts off, so that the last few lines of each text box is missing? What's going on?

View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of AS3 swfs. They are imported into an AS3 application using a Loader. On 10 or so different computers these AS3 swfs are imported as MovieClips and I can control them as necessary.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a Flash program to be downloadable and unlockable on one computer on receipt of payment. To do this, I was looking to create a UUID for a computer which could be checked to make sure that the program has not been moved to another computer but I don't know of any way to access enough information about the computer to make it uniquely identifiable (or even close).
I have also considered having a separate program written in a different language which would have access to this information but I don't know if I can even run it from Flash.
I'm creating an online multiplayer game in which I want to prevent players from joining a game using multiple clients/accounts on one computer. I can't simply do a server sided check for the IP-address because I still want e.g. people in the same office to be able to play together.Therefore I'd like to generate some kind of computer ID/hash on the client which it sends along to the server. I know that is easily hackable, but it will stop at least those "cheaters" who can't or won't change their client software.Is there a way to generate such an ID/hash in my game client? It's made in Flash and AIR (there are two versions, browser and desktop).The value doesn't need to be globally unique, because I will check for IP-address + ID
View 2 RepliesI'm considering making a Flex/AS3 based web application but worrying about some employers (i.e. potential customers) that don't have access to Flash plug in version 9 and up. Why? Maybe their corporate standard for browser is old; maybe they lock down employees computers which prevents users to download and install the plug-in or an alternate browser; maybe Flash's ubiquity goes away in the next 3 years given Adobe's recent announcements; etc.Anyway, my question is, would it be possible to insert a USB Flash drive into the client computer in question and run a Browser having flash (e.g. chrome) on the USB drive (assuming such a browser has already been installed on the USB drive), to access the web application with full functionality? I'm just trying to think of workarounds if my customer doesn't have flash plug-in and can't download to install it.
