Flash Slow In FireFox
Hi.
I've been developing a flash site, and I noticed that it runs slowly in the firefox browser.
It runs full speed (30fps) or about when run alone, or in the IE browser, but for some reason it runs slow only in the firefox browser.
It's a flash-based wensite, per se, so it is crucial that it runs smoothly.
If you have both browsers, please take a look at http://corporate.rg3entertainment.com/ to see what I am talking about and compare between the IE and FireFox browsers. Please note that the site is not finished. Also please note that this is fairly flashy, so it may appear slow anyway on a slower machine.
Because there is a bunch going on, specifically between transitions, I did some testing. One, the background and menu changes color through actionscript, so I took about an hour and changed each to seperate tint tweens, but that didn't make it smoother in firefox. Then I took away the white-text expand/fade out, but that didn't smooth it out either.
Is this a problem with firefox, and how can I fix it?
Thank you.

[F8] Why Is Flash So Slow In Firefox?
I'm still a IE user but sometimes I want to check my designs on firefox as well. But I discovered that firefox is very very very ... very slow when playing a swf.
So hopefully there are some guys who can help me out.
Is it a bug in firefox?
Example: www.ferraridrinks.com - www.diarough.com

Very Slow Flash In Firefox
I am working on a site that uses actionscript to control movies (load,unload areas of content into containers) and animate elements on the screen(move,rotate etc).
It runs fine in IE but I've found it is very slow in Firefox. I have noticed that other sites I have designed that use tweening to animate an object instead of actionscript seem to run o.k in Firefox
Anybody got any ideas why this might be happening?

Slow Flash Sites In Firefox
I am on a cable connection and I just noticed how slow Firefox displays Flash web sites that are entirely Flash. I realize they were heavy in animation and sound but it shouldn't matter. To check it I went to some other sites and the same thing. Then I opened the Flash web site in IE and it was 100% faster. Is there any reason why this happens? Firefox 1.5.0.3

Firefox Flash Player Runs Slow - How To Avoid?
Does anyone else have an issue with the Flash Player for Firefox? It means when I'm playing flash files the player stutters, or stops altogether and sometimes mean I have to quit Firefox totally.
Anyone know if there's a particular issue with the Firefox version of Flash Player, and is there anything to overcome this?
It's very annoying, especially as I have to create flash.

Why Does This Simple Movie Run So Slow In Internet Explorer But Fine In Firefox
This script is used to fade a movie clips opacity to 200 (an extra 100 to add to the pause between fading in and out) and then fade it back to 0. I used intervals to create the timing. I dont know of a better way to do it. Anyway if you check out the file under hosting at thetechtree.com you will see it loads slow in IE but fine in firefox. Anyone know why?
ActionScript Code:
var aList:Array = new Array();
aList[0] = "galaxy";
aList[1] = "KOP";
aList[2] = "ramsey";
aList[3] = "sentinel";
var xPos:Number = 336;
var yPos:Number = 265;
//
var speed:Number = 1;
var onOff:Boolean = false;
function fadeIn(targ)
{
if (_root[targ]._alpha < 200)
{
_root[targ]._alpha += 1;
} else
{
intFadeOut = setInterval(fadeOut, speed, targ);
clearInterval(intFadeIn);
}
}
//
function fadeOut(targ)
{
if (_root[targ]._alpha > 0)
{
_root[targ]._alpha -= 1;
} else
{
clearInterval(intFadeOut);
onOff = false;
}
}
//
function screen(myNumber)
{
var targ:String = aList[myNumber];
if (_root[targ]._alpha < 100 && onOff == false)
{
intFadeIn = setInterval(fadeIn, speed, targ);
onOff = true;
}
}
//
var intFadeOut = setInterval(fadeOut, speed);
clearInterval(intFadeOut);
var intFadeIn = setInterval(fadeIn, speed);
clearInterval(intFadeIn);

Too Slow Animation
Hello,
I created 2 swf files : anim.swf and preload.swf (preload.swf preloads anim.swf)
http://nagadoudi.online.fr/projet/
When I launch anim.swf directly, no problem.
When I launch preload.swf, everything seems to be OK, until anim.swf is displayed. anim.swf is then very very slow, and I don't know how to make it faster. (My 2 files have been configured at 35 fps.)

[F9][AS2] Really Slow Animation In IE7
I'm doing a flash to show users how to use keyboard shortcuts, this involves fading in hit circles on keys dynamically, which I've done using Intervals in ActionScript.
These intervals fire every 10ms, incrementing the alpha until it reaches 100. This works perfectly fine in the Flash 'Test Movie' and works fine when published and opened in Firefox 2, yet when I open it in IE7 it goes really slow (roughly 10x slower), it doesn't use much memory or processor usage, so it doesn't seem to be struggling. Could this be an IE problem, or something I'm not doing quite right?
Sorry I can't paste code, under NDAs with this, I'll try and mock something up that has the same problem when I have the time.

Speeding Up Slow Animation
Having problems increasing the speed of a vector based animation in mx. The feel should be flying through clouds. Currently, I have a layer where each frame contains a slightly different vector cloud and it's approx. 100 frames long. There are also smaller clouds on top going by as tweens. Increasing the frame rate seems to have no effect.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to increase the speed so it feels more like a fighter jet ride rather than a balloon ride? Thanks in advance.

How To Slow Down Animation Using A Code?
I have a moving woman on the screen, she moves from one side of the stage to the other. I did motion tween for that. However, she moves too fast and I would like to slow her down, but not by extending the frames. Is there a code for that? If the movie clip is woman_mc, how would the code look like to make her move more slowly. She stops at one point. Can somebody help please?

?Slow Down Animation Based On Arg
I need to be able to pass in an argument (like fast="100" to slow="1") that tells Flash how fast a movie clip should play.
Is there a way I can change the frames per second at runtime?
Or generate the number of frames needed at runtime?
Example: A ball will bounce at the speed (1-100), passed in from JavaScript.

Slow Animation For Some Reason
Can anyone help me out here... I have a crane game i'm making, moving the crane around works fine... when you move the crane back far enough it is going to hit the cabin of the crane, break the glass, and the cabin should shake. the problem is, i just use a setInterval to rotate the cabin a couple degrees a few times, but it goes REALLY slow when it should change ever 35 milliseconds... the only reason i can think of for this is that maybe there are too many movie clips inside the cabin movieclip... but... i went in and just tried rotating the cabin frame movieclip inside the cabin movieclip and it was still slow... i also tried to use keyframes in the timeline of the movie clip and it was still slow even though the movie is at 24 fps... anyway..

When Your Flash Animation Is Slow...
Flash rarely deals well with more than a few layers at once. A commonly used technique to deal with this is to put any items that are not tweened on the same layer. Often, I will have items tween in one layer, and when the motion is completed, I will move the object to the static layer with dozens of other objects.
Other tips for speedier playback:
Use symbols as often as possible, a symbol is only read by flash once, no matter how many times it appears on the stage.
Avoid animating bitmaps if at all possible. If you can't get by without the bitmap, use the trace bitmap option from the modify menu to convert the graphic to vector. Combine objects into a symbol when 2 or more objects can move together or rotate around each other.
General rule: if you have 4 or more objects moving at one time, you need to double check your playback with TestMovie. The bandwidth profiler option can help you pinpoint trouble spots in your movie.
You could also check to see what FPS your movie is set to. Click on Modify > Movie, for smooth animation, consider around 20 - 25 frames per second. The average human eye can only catch around 36 frames per second, so anything above that would be a waste.

JPEG Animation Is Slow
Am doing an animation that loops using 25 jpeg images. These images are about 15k each.
The problem is that the first time the animation plays it's really slow. When all the images are shown and it enters the second loop it runs ok.
Is there a way to make the animation play smooth from the beginning? maybe an AS command that loads them into memory prior to the animation?

Why Does My SwapDepths() Tag Slow Down The Animation?
I am using swapDepth() to make the photos in this gallery appear on top of the other photos. Why does it slow down the animation when you make your way through the thumbnails? The more pics you look at, the slower the animation gets.
Each pic is a movie clip. Click on a thumbnail, and it swaps the depth of the clip to the top, then plays the animation/transition to show the photo.
What gives?

Preloaded Animation Running A Little Slow?
Hi
I am using Flash 5.
I have a small Flash website which preloads before running. The big problem that I am experiencing is that if I am using a slow PC, the animation is all jumpy and slow. If I visit another Flash site with a large animation sequence, from the same slow PC, it runs perfectly smooth with no problems.
My guess is that there has to be a way of totally buffering my website before it plays because simply preloading it doesn't do the trick!
Can you help?

Too Slow Animation With Simple Circles
I have a flash movie with some motion tweened circles. The circles are just on graphic repeated five or six times. I can't figure out why such simple graphics take so long for flash to draw. I have the frame rate set at 24fps, and other motion tweens in the movie run at 24fps, but the circles are animating at about half that. Is there any way to speed them up?

Animation, Slow Frame Rate
Hello All,
Here is my Flash Animation: http://www.metajake.com/01/final02.html
The Character "Breathing" in during the opening is supposed to be breathing much faster then he is..
In Flash, I have the Frames set to 45 per second.. he breathes much smoother and faster..
But on the net, his breathing goes to slow, and the sound becomes unsyncronized. Even when I try refreshing the page, after it has completely loaded, he is "breathing" very slow..
Any suggestions on what my problem is?
Thank you for your time, and any help at all.

Using LoadMovie() To Load An Animation...slow?
Hi,
I'm using loadMovie() to load an animation (external swf) into my webpage.
The animation is just an image animating from one corner to another. The filesize is 53 kb.
It is fast enough in flash, but when i publish and view in a browser it is painfully slow!!!
I have tried to vary the framerate, but it doesn't help....
Could it be that i'm using loadMovie()? Is it better to use a movieClip()?
Any suggestions?

Vista And Flash. No More Slow Animation.
Well if youve used Flash on vista you will of probably seen that slow loading animation when you click movie clips. Well vista has worked around this now (I think this was made possible in SP1, dont quote me though). Basically if you are running an advanced vista theme (basically any other theme than the basic blue one, when you run flash it switches your theme to the blue one, then when you close it it switches back.
Well ... not a fix but a time saver.
