My trouble is that my project is taking more and more time to be compiled.My preocupation is how to speed up this compilation ?I used now a SSD hard disk and a quad core CPU.Do you think that purchasing an I7 core will speed up the compilation ?
My fear is that it does not bacause Flash CS5 will not take advantage of the multi core.
Is there a hardware configuration someone can advise me ?

I'm tweening a movieclip from startX to finishX. The value of startX varies but finishX is a constant. But as the startX increases in value the animation appears to be quicker. How do I adjust the speed of the tween to ensure a consistant speed regardless of the value of startX?

View 1 Repliesim building a product menu that loads a bunch of images through xml and uses one movieclip instance for the texts.URL..So far my code loads the 5 items and gives them 600px of space in beetween. This way i can use next/prev navigation. But the problem is when i reach the last one, it should loop, so that after the last one should come the first one again. And same in reverse for the prev-arrow.I have all this code inside a movieclip that im now controlling with the arrows:[code]And i cant get my head around that where should i include the looping, in pseudocode: "if picture x <= -600 reload it as the last picture && if picture x >= +600 reload it as the first picture"

View 3 RepliesI have a panel movie clip that contains six buttons, this panel movieclip also contains a tool tip movie clip for each button, the tool tips just reside inside the panel movie clip not inside the buttons. When the buttons are rolled over I want the tool tips to appear, alpha from 0 to 1 using Tweenlite. Rather than repeating the event handler code I have used two arrays, one for the buttons and one for the tooltips.
So I need to tell flash that when button 2 for example is rolled over, make tool tip 2 appear. The code I have is below, I think I'm nearly there but this errors. Am I right to use switch?

I want to add an animated .gif file to my movie. So I created a new symbol and then imported the .gif file to the stage. This created the symbol containing the animated .gif.I dragged the symbol onto the scene where I want it. However, the animation seems to play at a different speed (fps) than normal. So I changed the fps of the symbol (at bottom of Timeline where it says "fps"). But for some reason this changes the fps of the rest of the entire movie.

View 2 RepliesI have a movie clip on my scene which has a speed applied to it making it move across the screen. This is duplicated when it reaches the other end of the screen.On my scene I have some action script which is acting as a timer. After a set time I want it to increase the speed of the movie clips, making the game become "harder". I seem to be able to manipulate the alpha of my movie clips but can't seem to trigger the speed increase.If i use a setInterval it seems to trigger the speed increase but it does it each time the movie clip is duplicated (so the delay resets, it does not change once and apply throughout)However, where I am changing the alpha I cannot seem to change the speed.

I'm trying to program an arrow flying in the air, but the speed doesn't look well. But now the arrow moves very slow, here's a sample. (I know the arrow and the trajectory doesn't match 100%, it's just a sample.)
[Code]...
And now it looks good, but can someone tell me why I need to do this while in physics it normally would fly 15 times too fast?
The flash player was running at about 1/4 the regular speed. Did not matter what Flash app he tried (except FLVs), they all played slow.
View 0 RepliesMy Flex project has six sub-projects. How can I speed up compilation?
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a drag based control in Flex / Flash, similar to a film strip, where an individual can swipe horizontally to scroll through the items. To make the control feel a bit more natural I've added some inertia to slow the scrolling once a swipe has taken place. When first loaded up there will be five items in view with 'x' numbers of items to scroll through with the 3rd item centred and selected.
My problem though is that I want, when animating, a swipe gesture to determine whether an item will end up the middle (3rd position) and adjust its movement calculation accordingly so it docks with the 3rd / centre position. Imagine you perform a long swipe, it flys pasts 'x' amount of items, but as it slows to a stop it elegantly stops with an item centred / in the 3rd position. To do this I believe I need to determine the distance to travel just from the speed value (as time is irrelevent to the user experience, i.e. a longer / stronger swipe would justify a longer animation skimming through the items).
At the moment I'm invoking the animation routine (with inertia) in the ENTER_FRAME event when the user generates a MOUSE_UP event. When they do this, I obtain the speed of drag (by monitoring this beforehand) and then decrement this speed value on each call of the ENTER_FRAME event until it reaches an appropriate value to stop the animation.
Unfortunately all the speed calculations I've seen deal with Speed and Time to determine distance, I just need Speed. Admittedly, my knowledge isn't strong in this area so I might be missing the obvious.
I downloaded a free flash banner from [url]......,I tried contacting the site's owner in Germany but no answer from him therefore I am seeking help elsewhere.

View 2 RepliesCurrently I'm working with Flash CS3 but can upgrade to 4 . . .I'm wondering if there is a way to speed up the process of animating certain things. For instance, if I make an animated subject and then want to make ten or twenty from the same template with the same objects, but each object will follow a different animated path in the new animation, i. e., in the new swf file.
Should I rely on using code to animate objects? I'm trying to avoid repeatedly dragging the same movie clips from the library to the timeline and setting tweening each time. Sometimes I need to do this action 50 or 60 times per animation, and it's the same two or three movie clips each time--it's very tedious. Also, each animated movie clip must be in sync with music . . .
I had created a simple slide show in Flash and published as a .swf file. The slide show contains few images and the animation takes about 45 seconds to run at 8 frames per second. When i imported it into Flash Catalyst, the animationa runs very fast, taking only about 15 seconds to get through the whole slide show. I re-adjusted the animation in Flash to make it run slower but when i imported the new version into flash catalyst, it runs at the same speed, --still very fast.Is there any way for me to control the speed of my animation and make it runs the same speed as I set up in Flash?

I would like to recreate the swipe functionality of the ios platform. Where the user can swipe slow or fast or forward and back - without lifting the finger from the screen - and also be able to flick the finger for a really fast swipe that maybe goes on for a little while. The built in swipe gesture is much too basic for this kind of effect. How would you go about achieving a real swipe effect?
