Actionscript 3 :: Testing Flash Movies Performance Agaisnt Range Or Computers And Browsers
Jan 18, 2010
I am half way done with making my first flash web game. I put alot of work into it and dont really know how great the performance will be on browsers and range of different types of computers. This is my first time working with flash in general. I was wondering if there is any tools to test my game out against browsers and hardware. The game might work great on my computer, but how can i ever tell how great it works in a range of browsers and computers.

Tip#1: Some flash movies (mostly those with motion tweens) run slow in Firefox on some computers. To avoid this issue, do not use plug-ins perhaps provided by third-parties or drag and drop HTML programs. Just add the HTML page and flash file in your website's directory.

Looking for some recommendations on tools that can be used independent of the source (that is just on the swf) to check for Frames Per Second, total size and how often the movie loops.

I've been testing my website's intro banner on a few different computers.
On my computer, in Safari and Firefox, it plays at the same speed as when I play it locally.
It runs fine on all machines I checked at work, but one. On my slowish laptop, ran slowly there too.
It's a pretty small file 87kb. Is it a cpu issue and not being able to process multiple animations at the same time?
Is there a way to remedy that or just don't worry about it? Is there some sort of standard when it comes to cpu/swf testing?
My concerned file is the middle banner at [URL]

After a lot of trouble building a horizontal news ticker and got it working. Or so it seemed. It only worked on my computer and not in Google Chrome, so it seems there's some kind of problem somewhere?
Code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.utils.Timer;
[Code].....

I was wondering if it is possible for two instances of the same SWF movie (for simplicity) running on different browser windows (or tabs, for that matter) to communicate with each other?
I guess the key question is that are there facilites built into AS 3.0 that allows an SWF to "listen" for different events or notifications coming from other browser windows/tabs? I know this might be an application or sandbox security violation, but I would like a new instance of the same SWF to cause the older one to close itself.

When I test some of my as3 movies a new window opens and I can test the file. Yet when I test other movies I get an (error opening url 'file message.) What causes that? It seems to me that if a movie plays it should also test in a new window.

I inherited a flash website about a year ago.. not sure what version it was originally done in. I've made changes on the model last year using CS3 Flash Action script 2, but don't remember the flash version when published. The audio in question is the music that plays in the background when you get on the website:
[URL]
When I changed the image of the model this last week using CS4, I published it as Flash8 actionscript 2... now, the music plays on Mac Safari and Mac Firefox, but not on the Windows versions of IE or Firefox..
this is the code called sound control
onClipEvent(load)
{
_root.soundstatus="on";
_root.mySound = new Sound(_level0);
[Code]....
then there's the stop() that's used when the music is toggled off..
I've tried updating the flash player in Windows to the latest release, and I even tried republishing as flash 10, just not sure where to troubleshoot this..

I basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.

I'm devloping some library classes for flocking/steering behaviours on large numbers of objects (2000+). I'm finding that at < 500 instances, performance is reasonable. As the numbers increase, framerate bogs down.
I've seen remarkable performance with libraries such as Flint or Box2D with ridiculous #'s of particles / objects, so it should be possible to optimize / refactor my code to be a bit better.
I'm aware of the basic optimizations, such as bitwise operations and optimized for loops. Are there any more fundamental approaches I should be considering? For example, currently each instance is a vector-based MovieClip. Would working with BitmapData be more efficient?

Will I take a big hit in performance using nested ViewStacks? Should I strive to handle all navigation in one ViewStack and push children manually or will the affected performance be negligible?
eg.
<viewstack>
<tabnavigator />
<tabnavigator />
<tabnavigator />
</viewstack>

We have a medium size Flex 3.6 application that contains around 20 different page views (managed via a single lazy ViewStack) each having multiple components. Most use custom renderers.All model data is loaded at startup and changes to model instances are communicated via binding and/or collection change events.Once the user has viewed each page at least once, all page views are instantiated and happily listen to update events.Which in effect means that each time a model instance changes, all interested views receive that event and compute derived data or trigger item-renderers.I have tested and confirmed this behaviour in a proof-of-concept application. Even when setting a list to being invisible, it still listens to collection change events and invalidates any renderer affected.What would you do?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I am not very familiar with flash, in fact the only reason I used it was to add a player to my movie. I saved the skin and what I think is the movie file .swf on my desktop in the same file and it plays just fine. As soon as I try to play it on another computer the icon looks different (doesn't have the S on it anymore) and just looks like a foreign file. I am trying to get this to play asap if you could help to tell me if I'm missing a file that goes with it or something. When I hover over the two files they say Shockwave flash object.

I made a program using Flash Professional 10 and AS3, i published it. It all compiles and works fine on my coding computer. But when I try to view the program on other computers, via internet, or physically putting the files on the computer, it only displays as 5 dots counting up, over and over.

I am trying to play flash video on one computer and get a flash program (on another computer) to know what content is being played, so it can respond appropriately with related content.Has anyone got ideas on the best way to achieve this?I have tried using socket connections through a Java server with a policy file request, but after receiving delivery of the policy file as text over the socket, Flash won't reconnect to talk to the server. I can't figure out how to enable policy file logging either.

there is an app that has been finished (i hope) and it seems to work ok, this flash loads about 1Mb of flash app, then loads some stuff from the server via xml, generated through a script. as i said, it works ok in some computers, but somebody tells me that in other devices, the flash loads fine, but it gets stuck while loading from the server (it wont go further than the splash theat says 'loading contents'). Since is flash, i assume it is computer independent (it is not like the html, where each device may chow it different according to browser and setup; since is flash it will show and load just as the flash would load everywhere else); but as it seems it gets stuck right when loading the xml, after the flash has loaded (the flash loads the xml from the server), what may be causing this? is there any 'flash option' that may be interfering the flash from loading the xml content?

I have a videochat app (as3) developed in CS5, when I test the movie (ctrl+enter) it compiles and shows no errors, then I upload the file to the server and does not work at all. the xml paths are perfect, in fact when I go to the page on the machine with FLash CS5 it loads fine, but from a friend's computer does not work at all.

I recently built a game and tested it on a few computers. It seems there are 3 different ways that it loads. One doesn't seem to load properly the first time so I have to refresh once, one loads fine, and one loads but something is wrong so the user can't play and refreshing doesn't fix it.What can cause flash to be loaded so differently between computers? Is it the browser? is it the flash player? Is it the OS?

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I've created a flash project that works fine on my computer locally. When I take it to another computer(I've tried 3-4), my keyboard events are not working. I used Actionscript 3 to create the file. I've checked to see that the other computers had the latest version of Flash player, but it's still not working on those computers. Does anyone know why my file may not be working? Is there a specific plugin/download I need to have to make my files work?

Ive imported an FLV into a Project. Some computers wont play the video back if the Flash Player is set to Full Screen. The screen goes black during Full Screen. If you set the player to regular, you can see the video playing (embedded into design) but once you set player to Full Screen the video plays on its own right at centre of screen. Im working on a Touch Screen Display that has the display set to Portrait mode. Im investigating if the display card is causing the problem.

I am trying to create a dynamic scrolling list in Flash AS3. When I create a list, I set it to be an initial length. Later, I add more objects to the list which is outside of the original size of the list. I want to be able to scroll down the list and see all the objects. My scrollbar just moves the list's y position. However, every object that is drawn outside the original list size is not shown when I run the program and scroll. I have a list object which has the function below when I need to add content to the list. When I initialize the list, I give it an initial height and width which I use to create a mask.
public function AddPlayers(pPlayers:Array, pScrollBar:ScrollBar):void {
var player:Player;
trace("happened again");
for (var i:int = 0; i < pPlayers.length; i++)
player = pPlayers[i];

I have a simple code snippet as follows:
ActionScript Code:
testangle = Math.tan((-stage.mouseY+marker.y)/(stage.mouseX-marker.x));
trace(testangle);
In the swf I simply moved the mouse around the stationary object marker and read the results. For some reason I'm getting crazy values like -20 and 18. Why on earth is that? I thought radians in flash had a range between -PI and PI.

I want to be able to pause and resume downloads in my flex application, but I get a RTE when trying to set the Range header.
Error #2096: The HTTP request header Range cannot be set via ActionScript.
I imagine there isn't going to be a work around client side, but expect there is a way you can get a server to change the name for the range header to something else...
