I have an AS3 App class e.g (pseudo code)
public class MyApp extends Application
{
protected function onRender():void
{
trace("frameRate = "+frameRate);
}
}
and this is then extended by the app MXML:

The app appears to be running at the right speed, but in MyApp.onRender(), frameRate is seen as NaN (in the debugger too if I step through). Why is this? How should I be obtaining the application's FPS property?

View 2 RepliesI'm wondering if there is a way I can bind a flex property to flash property?, the flash property is inside a swc file created in flash with the Flex Component Kit for Flash Professional, I can manipulate the flash component as a regular flex component, but I want to bind their properties, is there a way?
View 1 RepliesSo there's been a new "feature" in the flash player since version 10.1, which reduces the player's framerate to 2 fps when the application window is out of view. This is good news for performance, but it can break some functionality, such as the Timer class.
I have an application which uses a Timer to display a countdown. Given the nature of the application, it is required for the Timer to complete its countdown even if the user is not there to see it. Imagine that you need to give the user only 10 seconds to perform a task. If the user minimizes the window halfway through the counter, they can take as much time as they want and still have 5 seconds left when they return to the window. This apparently can not be avoided with the newer flash players.
In Air applications there is the backgroundFrameRate property which can be set to prevent this behavior, but this is part of the WindowedApplication class, so it seems that it is not available in a web application. Does anyone know a way to keep a constant frame rate even when the window is not visible?
how to set the FrameRate (fps) using action script?
View 2 RepliesThe problem is, the framerate is not constant, meaning it goes out of sync with the music very often.[code]...
Can I get flash to maybe skip or drop frames to make sure it keeps an overall steady framerate?
I'm loading some external SWF's and want to see what framerate the loaded SWF have. However, all of the data tells me the root SWF's framerate. I've checked the loaderInfo object, the movieClips.stage field (before it's been added to anything). Everything says 30FPS when it should say 20 FPS (in my case).

Question: There's a posibility to change the original SWF framerate using some params in the object tag?
I don't have the source code (FLA).
I want to decrease the framerate.

View 9 RepliesI'm currently trying to make a little game but I experience now some loss of framerate while adding "bullets" in the gameI'll not enter in the full code source as it will take some time but basicallyI got a mainGame class, a Player class, and a bulletClassthe mainGame class contain the game loop working like this, main timer cecks:-loop function of the Player class, checking if space is pressed,if it's pressed a bullet is displayed with this line in the player class:Code://main_class is the MainGame class and the container is the main displaymain_class.container.addChild(new Bullet(x, y, otation,main_class));//then the bullet add itself in a _bulletArray of the Main Gam class-loop function of the bullet Class, for each bullet cointained in the _bulletArray,it moves the bullet from some X, and if it's out of view of the screen it destroying itself from the array and with a removeChild of the display list like this:
Code:
y += vy;
x += vx;

View 2 RepliesLately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).
So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?
My Flash game targets 24 fps, but slows to 10 on slower machines. This is fine, except Flash decides to throttle the queue of incoming MouseEvent and KeyboardEvents, and they stack up and the Events fall behind. Way behind. It's so bad that, at 10 fps, if I spam the Mouse and Keyboard for a few seconds not much happens, then, after I stop, the game seems to play itself for the next 5 seconds as the Events trickle in. Spooky, I know.
Does anyone know a way around this? I basically need to say to Flash, "I know you think we're falling behind, but throttling the input events won't help. Give them to me as soon as you get them, please."
Simply put, I am making a flash midi player. I am using ENTER_FRAME for my timings. I set the framerate to 100 to ensure that the timing of each note in milliseconds is accurate. When I test the movie with CTRL + ENTER it works fine. When I publish it and open it in a browser (tested both IE and Chrome), it suddenly plays back a lot slower. I don't think it's a performance issue, since the code is very simple. If this slowdown is consistent then I can perhaps work with it so that the playback speed will be correct. Do browsers make the framerate slower or do they implement a framerate cap of some sort? What is going on?
View 2 RepliesCan we put [Bindable] on functions/methods? I know that bindable is used to change the value of the source property to destination property. But not sure if we can use that for methods. why we cannot put/ if we can then what will be the outcome?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating an ActionScript-based flash file that only needs the screen to be updated in response to something happening behind the scenes. As such, I don't need it to run with a fixed frame-rate. Instead I just want to tell it to lay dormant until I explicitly tell it the screen needs to update.However, I don't see any way to do that. Can that be done? (i.e. set the framerate to zero and manually force an update based on some user-defined event?)For example's sake, if you can provide an example that just kicks off the update based on a simple timer,

Given a dynamic or non-dynamic class like the following:
package {
public class MyClass {
public var myProperty:String;
public var myBooleanProperty:Boolean;
public function MyClass() {}
}}
Flex 3 allows you to assign a value to myProperty like this:
myClassInstance["myProperty"] = "myValue";
myClassInstance["myBooleanProperty"] = true;
I regularly parse XML to get property names and their values then update correlated classes using this technique; however, Flex 4 no longer allows assigning the boolean property. I don't have a work-around.
If you trace the results:
trace(myClassInstance.myProperty) // Returns "myValue"
trace(myClassInstance.myBooleanProperty) // Returns null
I have inherited an Adobe AIR application, and am attempting to debug it through Flash Builder 4.5. Within Flash Builder, when I look at one of the MXML files, I see warnings for each use of the [Bindable] tag:[code]And there are no missing semi-colons on the lines preceding each warning as per the suggestion in this blog post.The project is configured to use Flex SDK 3.6.Additionally the file will not load in the designer, with this warning:Design mode: Error during component layout. Choose Design > Refresh to refresh design mode.At runtime I am seeing a blank window - which I assume is the result of the bindings not being triggered. Is this tag not available in Flex SDK 3.6?

I've been trying for hours to make sense of this problem. When I run my code through the Flash IDE, everthing is fine. However, when I run it through the command line compiler or Flex itself t doesn't work. This is after setting up all the required Flex bits to create a Flash stage and display content. it keeps giving me an "Access of undefined property" error though I've clearly defined those properties in question a line or two before.

What the heck is going on?? I'm stumped. Embed seems to work fine, but I'd prefer to change it this way. I think there's something about XML dynamism if you use embed instead.
Is there anything else besides high cpu usage that would cause the framerate of a swf to lag?I'm working on a game that is set to 60fps so the animations are super smooth, and I am on good, fast computer so even with tons of animations going my cpu usage never goes above 14% usage, and only about 1% of the systems memory is used.
View 4 Repliesi am making a flex air application and when its deactivated (lost focus), its framerate becomes to 1fps.i am using psudo-threading encoder that uses enterframe to keep it working the app requires long time converting process more than hours and i need the program to do the same thing while sitting back in the background how to disable deactivation in air application as soon as the focus is out, it becomes 1 fps instead of 24 fps which i need.
i know i can use timerevent rather than enterframe event but my app needs alot of calculation and i figured that in flash, the frame extends its time if the calculation isnt finished. if it gets too long in one frame, the ui hangs up.if i use enterframe, on slow comps it would extend its time to complete the calculations when all the calculations didnt get to finish in time in 1 frame.but im afraid if i use timer event, instead of waiting for the codees to be excuted it would excute the next timer event, i didnt try it though.i created the app that when you add the xml songbook data, it would load up the data sort it and create pages with the graphics and skins set up and when you save, it saves the pages to jpg files using the encoder i created.and the encoder uses enterframe.its working fine but when i deactivate the window while encoding, it becomes extremely slow since it becomes 1fps.

Every now and then I come across some examples on the web that have a nifty little FPS output window. I have also seen a couple that count objects on screen and various other usefull data.Rather than build one myself since I am pressed for time on my current project, does anyone know where I could find a little class or component like this? I had a link from a friend pointing me to one, but I lost the email when I migrated to a new machine (yes, I should have migrated my mail data file - STUPID STUPID ME!).
