Slow Animation
I have a incompleted flash game running at 20kbps. But when i run it, everything processes very slowly. It feels as if its running at less than 10kbps. I had 3-4 of for loops and all the movieclips are running on enterFame() commands. Could this be the source of my problems?

Slow Animation
On me website i have two animations on the index page, the bottom one seems to load fast everytime and run smoothly but the top one loads and runs really slowly the 1st time but is fine the 2nd time it runs (you dont get to see it a 2nd time because the page re direct's.

How could i make the top animation load faster?


another question, how do you change the delay between repeating the animation if the animations is in a 'loop'?

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.)

Why Does Animation Slow Down?
i dunno if this has been asked before, but why does the flash animation kinda slow down when it is being viewed via a web browswer. i have flash animations at 30fps and they play smoothly via flash player but when i upload it to a webserver and view it via a browser(IE) it tends to slow down alittle... what could be the problem?? i am running on AMD athlon 64 3200 with 1gb ram.

And even if the animation is very easy it always the same problem. The result is that the rythm of my flash movie is broken... Can anybody expalin me why? I noticed that this problem affects only my flashes, in fact the movies of others are OK. I mean - the audio is already stopped but the animation still goes because it's reproduced slowly...HELP

Why Is This Animation So Slow :/?
Click on the buttons on the top. The FPS is set to 24. So why is it slowed down this much?

http://hundsteg.se/Erik/v3.swf

It should take around 1 second. At my computer it takes 2-3 though. And at my friends its almost 5-6.

Heres the source: http://hundsteg.se/Erik/v3.fla

Animation Slow On Slower CPU
Does anyone know if it's normal that a movie of 124kb ask so much of a system. On a P4 the animations run good, but for example on a P3 it runs very slow. There are not many calculations (almost none).
How does this come ???

When The Animation Appears Really Slow...
I'm trying to make a flash site. the frame rate is 22-24 and when I test the movie on the hard drive the animiation is swift, but on the net, it became really really slow. I'm thinking maybe its because I'm using too many masks and images. Could that be why?? any suggestions? TIA

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.

Slow And Fast Animation
I see this on a lot of flash sites. The animation will speed up, slow down, etc..

Something will zoom across the screen and then stop. I can't do this without changing the main fps for the document. That doesn't work.

How will I go about doing this? I have Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Professional.

Thanks

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?

thanks

?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.

Choppy Slow Animation
I am having trouble with choppy animation.

My frame rate is 24fps and the length is 1 sec (24 frames)
I used the timeline effects (blur) for my animation.
I am using moving clips set to use runtime bitmap caching.
When viewed on my Desktop (Mac Pro 2 x Qaud_core) it looks great but when viewed on my Macbook pro or other other computers it gets very slow and choppy.

Here's a link to the site

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..

http://68.58.3.243:2222/uploads/cranegame.html for the game
http://68.58.3.243:2222/uploads/cranegame.fla for the source

can someone please look at it and tell me what might be going on? the code for the crane moving backward is at line 365.

Slow And Jerky Animation
I've created part of a navigation bar, but the animation is running at a snails pace when the mouse rolls over the 'videography' link. I'm pretty sure this due to the large number of symbols and grouped objects within the animation... How can I solve this problem!?

Any ideas would be much appreciated

check the animation here

Thanks very much

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?

take a look at the url:

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?
Cheers,
Dave

Too Slow Full Screen Animation
hi all,
i am working on this project with a full screen city map.loads of city islands e.t.c.
i have placed button that move the map in both dimensions and zoom in/out using mx.easing
the project is 30fps but it gets terribly slow as the zoom scale gets bigger.
the only solution i came up with is changing the screen resolution from 1280 to 640x480 but it lucks visibility.
any suggestions?

Bitmap Animation Real Slow...
i remember Macromedia saying something about scalling/animating image files aren't recommended, and I understand why they say that cuz it does get pretty slow. Not only the animation is slow, but it slows down the whole system. So, my question is, what's that flash movie eatting up exactly? system memory? videocard memory? CPU?

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.

Slow Animation Linked With Number Of Elements?
Wondering if anyone knows of any potential problems with choppy animation of a panel (your basic simple rectangle) opening over top of some hefty complex vector images...it's not like I'm animating the vector image, but perhaps the player needs to recalculate the vector image anyways when you place something OVER top of it???
Am I correct assume this?
Any work arounds that anyone can think of?
thanx in advance

Animation Runs Slow When Swf Is Embedded Into HTML

Movie Animation Plays Slow Through Browser
This is driving me crazy.

I have built a Computer Based Training (CBT) lesson in Flash 8 Professional and I'm noticing that the animation part of the CBT plays considerably slower in any of the browsers (IE and Firefox) than in the standalone player (which I've been using to preview the movie using Ctrl-Enter keystroke).

Just about everything is timed, so it is imperative that the audio and animation play at the same rate. Here's how it is set up:

1. There are about 30 "screens" (or "slides" if you will) to this presentation. Each "slide" resides in one frame on the main timeline (this is a standard Flash movie, NOT a Flash Presentation). Each of these frames has a stop(); to pause it in place. There is a navigation bar on every screen (Back, Pause, Play, Next). I normally use Captivate to make these, but I wanted to add in a branching scheme that is not easily done in Captivate, so I built it in Flash.

2. Each frame on the main timeline houses a movie clip which serves two purposes: 1) it starts the narrations (all are sound objects) and houses the slide's animation (another, nested movie clip). The movie clip on each frame of the main timeline is set to "fade in" using a 20 frame motion tween with the first instance set to Alpha 0% and the second instance at 100%. (I don't know if that all made sense, so here's a simplified version: On the main timeline, frame 1 houses a movie clip. Open that movie clip and it houses both a trigger to the sound object narration and a second, movie clip that fades in over 20 frames and stops at frame 20. Open this nested movie clip, and the main animation is in there covering as many frames as necessary.)

3. I had to use sound objects vs. putting the narrations in the timeline because of the Pause button in the nav bar. I want Pause to pause everything and Play to resume everything. It is not possible to pause an audio clip in a timeline and have it resume by clicking another button...only a sound object will work this way.

4. 30 fps throughout.

Everything was going perfectly until I went to view the final product. The Ctrl-Enter keystroke will preview the movie in the standalone Flash 8 player. It plays perfectly. The timing couldn't be more perfect. But if I view the resulting html file through either IE (Flash 9 plugin) or Firefox (Flash 8.5 plugin), the animation in the movie plays at a slower rate (the audio plays at the exact rate it should). This destroys the timing between audio and visual objects, and becomes more pronounced the longer the narration.

I have tried the following adjustments with absolutely no effect:
1. Exported as Flash 7 compatibility rather than Flash 8
2. Unchecked the "Compress Movie" option in the Publish Settings
3. Opened the .swf file directly with IE and Firefox (instead of the .html file)
4. Changed jpeg quality from 100% to 80%
5. Changed ActionScript 2.0 to 1.0 in the Publish Settings (this actually made it slower)

Does anyone have any insight as to why the movie is playing slower when played through a web browser? Is there a setting that I'm overlooking or unaware of? Is there another way around this so I don't have to play the trial and error game with the frame rate?

Help,
Ken

PS - I wish I could post this file, but it's loaded with company sensitive information, so I can't share it.

Fast -> Slow -> Stop Animation Using Actionscript
i would like to know how to move a shape from left to right using actionscript. the movement should be fast up until it gets to the end point then slow down as it reaches it. i would also like to do this type of animation for a sahpe that shrinks. so basically it starts off as a sqaure or large rectangle then it shrinks up from the bottom while the top stays at the same value. i hope this is being explained well.

Slow/Choppy Animation When Viewed Online
When I view an swf file from my hard drive, the animation is smooth and snappy (a good thing). After I publish the file and view it online (with the same computer), it is noticeably slower and choppy. I don't know a great deal about what IE/Firefox does behind the scenes, but I can't seem to make sense out of this. When using a basic preloader, doesn't the entire flash file become cached, essentially storing the file onto the user's hard drive before playback? In which case, I would think the animation would perform equally. Maybe I'm completely off-base with this, though. Could anybody tell me the cause for poor online animation and clear this issue up for me? Thanks a lot.

P.S. Here is the site...
http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/n/.../hartleys.html
(The framerate is currently 30 fps, which I know is not recommended, but the higher framerate seems to compensate a bit for the slowness/choppiness...also the animations I'm using aren't that intense)
