Limit The Frame-rate Of Flash Game?
Nov 7, 2010
I have a Flash game I made way back in 2008. It runs super fast these days. Way too fast in fact. I have it set to 60fps in FlashDevelop, but I think that is just limiting the amount of draw calls. I think my logic is executing well past 60 times a second these days. I haven't done ActionScript in a while, but I noticed that I am using an enterFrameHandler that executes my logic loop. It seems to have no constraint set on it. It just fires away as it is called I believe. Is there any way I can cap it at 30 or 60fps?
UPDATE:As some ActionScript knowledge is coming back to me I just thought of something. Isn't the enterFrameHandler bound by what the fps is set to in Flash or FlashDevelop under project properties?

I was wondering what is the best way to achieve a smooth frame rate in a flash game. I'm making a simple space exploration game where you fly around exploring systems and shoot enemies. I have a background movie clip which I move around to simulate scrolling. Enemies, planets and such move along with the background. My problem is that the frame rate I'm getting is very jittery. Most of the time everything moves smoothly but from time to time the game slows down or makes small "jumps". I'm using timer events with updateAfterEvent() for the scrolling and frame events for moving enemies relative to the background. The document fps is set to 60.

I am porting my flash games on android. I have ported 3 successfully. But the problem with all of them is they are giving very low frame rate near about 7-8. And I have observed 1 thing that frame rate always varies. Sometimes it goes upto 45 and again in next frame it comes to 3-4 and again goes to 15-16.
I am quite confused. Please let me know if anyone is having any idea about this.

I'm recording Webcam to FMS 3.5 but when I play the recorded video from FMS it's choppy. I have set the camera.fps to 30 but when I trace out the currentFPS for camera it's variable and usually falls between 20 and 30. However when I play the recorded video, netStream's currentFPS returns a lower value, something closer to 10. So my question is, 1) why currentFPS of netStream is not the same as Camera's? 2) What's the actual frame rate of the recorded video (not the netStream, but FLV's)?

set the frame rate of an externally loaded movie to a different frame rate than the movie it is embedded within.
I basically have a flash site that loads flash movies using loadMovie command, however, the frame is lost within these movies and simply adopts the main site frame rate.

Can anybody tell me if it is possible to limit the bandwidth or screen refresh rate that a flash movie uses? I have a large number of virtual desktops which use RDP and flash performance is terrible.
If I look at a site in IE that use lots of flash, my RDP session can even hang sometimes or more likely become completely unusable.

Is there some built-in limit to the rate at which flash.net.Socket can transfer data? When downloading from a server on localhost, I get a speed of about 5.8 MB/s consistently, while downloading directly from the server (outside of Flash Player) I can over 100 MB/s. Also, if I start two or more concurrent downloads, they all (individually) go at about the same 5.8 MB/s. The CPU use is under 100%. This program demonstrates the phenomenon. Running with NUM_DOWNLOADS = 1, I get

I have site with an audio player and a few galleries.The problem is that the audio starts loading at the beginning. And when you click on a gallery, the audio already uses all of the download speed and therefore the galleries load slow.Is there a way to limit the bit-rate flash the swf uses to load the sound?[code]

I'm building an application in Actionscript using Flash assets, and my frame rate becomes very low (~7 fps) when I attempt to render 20+ assets on the screen, even though most of those assets are stopped movie clips. I've tried setting .cacheAsBitmap to true, which helps a bit, but not enough. What else can I do to get the frame rate up? I've noticed that some movie clips seem to impact it more than others, but I'm not sure how to alter them to make them easier to render.

Is it possible to set the frame rate for flash 8 transitions? So if I have transition:
TransitionManager.start(img1_mc, {type:Iris, direction:Transition.IN, duration:5, easing:Bounce.easeOut, startPoint:5, shape:Iris.CIRCLE});
how would I set desired frame rate?
Something like:
Tween.FPS = 30;

i am new here i am experiencing a huge problem with my flash movie. okk let me start:- I am making a website which has an intro. Intro Frame rate = 35fps My site frame rate = 20fps so when i load the intro swf with 35fps, its frame rate automatically changes to 20fps which is my site's swf frame rate. My intro loads in a movieclip named holder_mc i have masked my movieclip to avoid unwanted part of loaded intro.

Any way that I can adjust the frame rate of a movieclip without affecting the frame rate that I set for the rest of the document. I want to speed up the animation of this clip and it would be difficult to adjust the timeline of this clip to accomplish this.

I am building a small flash application. In my application I've inserted an fla video. the flv video's length when I open it in vlc player is 16 seconds (after I edit the speed of the video in an external program and then converted it back to fla). When I open it in flash cs 5, the video's length is back to 90 seconds. I guess it's got something to do with the frame rate of my flash project. I'd like to be able to change the frame rate of only the movie clip containing that video, and not of the entire stage. How is that possible?

How to make a "frame rate visualizer" in flash 8. Because some of my animations have slow frame rates if I use some bitmap or png images, or some big vector objects. So, it is possible to make a real time "frame rate" visualizer for my flash animations? Just like the frame rate viewer of some games.

At the moment I am working on a project that uses the enterFrame event to update a game world at 30 FPS. I know that the movie frame rate I set in the Flash IDE is far from precise. However, I am using enterFrame because my assets (MovieClips and such) are animated within the Flash IDE and need to be synchronized with the frame rate.All actual programming is done with FlashDevelop, outside of the Flash IDE.I've heard that it is much better to make applications independent of the frame rate, presumably by using a Timer/getTimer() and updateAfterEvent() to draw.
All global ticks are handled through an interface I wrote that allows me to freely switch between frame tick implementations, so I can easily modify my code to accommodate whatever solutions are out there.Is there a way I can keep my animations in step with the global tick while removing dependency on the movie's frame rate?

Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3. When I export a video from Premiere with the settings: 1280x720frame rate of 23.976using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),"embed video on SWF and play in timeline" When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either.

I have developed a Flash website using the Flash Player 10 and its 3D capabilities. The website seems to be working great on my PC which is a high end computer but when I have tested it out on slower computers, the animations are really choppy and frame rate is dropped a lot.can you take a look at the website and suggest me ideas what could be the result of such frame rate dropping. The website doesn't use much animations in the background.

Does anyone know how to trace out the frame rate that a swf is currently playing at?I've tried creating two date objects on adjacent frames, running the getTime() method on each and subtracting the difference but it seems to be the same regardless of what I set the movie's frame rate to in the property inspector...I am basically trying to monitor the performance of an animation at runtime and make adjustments on the fly based on how fast or slow the movie is playing.

I got a MovieClip filled with a lot of others clips... When I change de X or Y value of this first MovieClip the frame rate slows down for during 1 frame. For exemple... I created a counter that returns around 30 mseconds every frame, but when I do this X or Y change the return is around 400 mseconds... When I try to fill the first MovieClip with less information it goes faster, about 100+-200 mseconds...

I am using Flash CS4 and when testing my application my frame rate changes as it is programmed to do so. When I try to run the application in a browser (tried Firefox 4, Opera 10.5 and IE 8) the frame rate does not change.
Why does the frame-rate not change?

I'm busy building a website in Flash AS3. I tried to create the same effect as [URL] (click on enter site) But my file is scrolling too far. So far that there's white. You also can drag it with your mouse to get the white background. And that's not what I want. Maybe I have to set a limit for scrolling or a stop() somewhere in a frame.. I only don't know where and how, and how to search google for tutorials.. This is a link to my file: [URL] And this is my AS3 Code:

I have problem with the setInterval function. I have a game application that sets a time limit of 3 minutes. From 3 minutes counting down by 1 second up to zero. The problem is, the counting of the timer is by 2 seconds and sometimes by 4 seconds. I tested the movie in my local computer and looks fine but when I upload it to a server and it is embeded in a website. And by the time the user clicks the link to play the game application and starts playing the problem about the timer occurs.
