CPU Speed Check
Hi Guyz,
should somebody help me finding a way to detect in a flash application the CPU speed of a computer. We actually developed an application which need to run at a certain speed. Running the application on a slower computer gives really bad effects.
i was then thinking it might be useful to integrate at the start of our flash movie a CPU detection speed. If the speed remains to slow, we would display a specific message.
i would also like to make several checks once the movie is being played and if the movie detects a CPU change in speed to high, an alert message should be displayed. any ideas about how i could do ?
thanks in advance for your help
regards

Speed Check
Hi All,
I am having problems with my site speed again. The issue seems to be once a new swf is called from a master swf. It takes ages to call the swf and show the loading progress bar. Sometimes it can take upto 30 seconds to work - but others, it is instantaneousOnce the bar is up, the site performs as normal. The swfs are all in the same place holder page.
The site is www.pumaknight.co.uk
This is very frustrating and no doubt losing me visitors.
Is this a flash issue, an action script issue or a hosting issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Howdy,
Is there a way to check processor speeds and then disable a Flash movie if the speed is too slow?
Thanks!

A Way To Check Connection Speed?
Is there a way to check connection speed, and turn out a booleon depending on pretty much 'high speed' is true and 'dial up' is false?
i have a preloader that would be great for slower connections, but on a fast one it appears as an annoying blip before the animation begins.
any suggestions?

[F8] Help On CPU Speed Check Code
Hey, Guys!
I´ve been looking for a way to make a flash web-site detect the user´s system and, based on this analysis, lead the browser to a specific version of the site (say, a "light version" or a "full version").
After some searches in many forums, I´ve found a code that seems to provide a rough idea of the user´s system perfomance. I am not sure how it works exactly, but it is pretty interesting. I am attaching the original fla. So, this fla evaluates the system performance and based on that gives us a number. So if this number is under a pre-specified value, my site will load a "light version", without effects. If this number is above a pre-defined value, my site will load a "full version".
What I want now (and have no idea how to do it) is make this code collect (let´s say) three different numbers and calculate an average number among them, so the end result will be more reliable. I am having a hard time to explain this, but once you guys open the fla it will get pretty clear.
Thanks in advance
Language/speed Check
Hi
I'm creating a video player with differing translations. It'd be nice to make it adapt to the user regarding language and connection speed.
From the looks of it I'm going to have to have differing text fonts for different languages, may have to embed fonts to ensure its rendered just encase.
I've looked into IP localisation although its says its not accurate, yet user interaction seems more apt.
Also I have two videos dependant on connection speed, is testing the preload time a good indicator?
Thanks

Streaming Audio Speed No Good - Depends On Processor Or Internet Connection Speed?
we are launching a narrated, streaming flash 6.0 presentation for a client. frame rate is 20fps. here is the link:
http://www.optionaldesigngroup.com/preston
they sent us this email:
"I do not know who else this may be happening with, but when Marjorie Sanders (OC) opened to take the tour, it loaded the software (not sure why her machine didn't have it), and the video was the size of a postcard, Kathleen sounded like a little child (almost munchkin like) and was going 100 mph (so very, very fast - almost unintelligible). Can we experiment with it. Could it be because of the download - I would hope that people don't receive it that way or they will end up laughing at it (it is almost silly)."
does the streaming sync depend on the internet connection or the processor speed? i am assuming processor, and that on a kick-butt new machine it will stream faster then on a slower one.
i think the only way to counter for this is to go in and add some more frames in the narration between phrases. we don't want to lower the framerate because it will affect the flow of the tweens.
any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
Problems With Speed: Loading An Animation Dynamically...reduced Speed Why? W/exampl

[MX04] MC Speed Vs. Document Speed
I'm an intermediate to flash, and know limited coding.
But,
I have created a flash slideshow with a preloader. However, the preloader needs to be at 12fps in order to look good, but the slideshow is at 0.4fps to look good. (It basically just flips to each image.) The controller is a sample controller in flash, and I wasn't sure how to activate the delay switch in it, so I just set the fps of the whole scene at 0.4fps.
Anyways, is there a way to have the whole slide show at 0.4fps but the preloader MC at 12fps, or sped up or something. Thanks!
Reality Check: Flash CS3/AS3 Check Syntax
I need a quick reality check. I've finally started playing around in CS3/AS3 on my Mac. Whenever I click "check syntax" I get a very limited error response: specifically, I get actual syntactical errors (e.g., a missing brace or paren), but I get NO COMPILER ERRORS (e.g., use of an undefined method or property). These compiler errors trigger at runtime, but not having them during authoring makes coding and debugging unnecessarily difficult.
Is this really how it's supposed to work?
In Flash8/AS2, we had compile-checking right in the AS file. If I attempted to access an undefined method or property, the error-checker would catch that right away. No time-consuming compile was necessary to catch these obvious errors (see example below). But AS3 doesn't seem to be as clever.
Am I missing something?
Thanks much!
-------------EXAMPLE---------------
Attach Code
import flash.display.BitmapData;
class myClass{
var _bmp:BitmapData;
function myClass(){
_bmp = new BitmapData(500,300);
_bmp.methodNotDefined();//unknown method of BitmapData triggers an error
myVar = 5;//unknown property of myClass triggers an error
}
}
How Do I Change Speed The Speed?

Can I Speed This Up ?
Im loading the variable "desc" from a text file which is about 3 paragraphs long and replacing the characters "$A$", "$P$, $E$ with &,=,+ is there any way to speed this process up? Right now its taking a good 20 seconds to process on a P3 900mhz
I'm aware that I can use special character codes such as %26 for "&" and so on but for what we are trying to do it wont work that way.

CPU Speed
I am designing a Flash site on a Pentium III 500Mhz and when I tested it on a PIII 1.1Ghz, the sounds lost all synchronization with the animations since the animations are much more faster than the sound. When I lowered the frame rate, everything worked fine.
Is there a way through code on how Flash detects the CPU speed and automatically arranges the Frame Rate? Or is there something else I can do so that when exporting my code to a faster CPU, there is no change to my original site?
Thanks

I have a 109k swf file, and I have created a preloader and works great in my computer but whenever I check it in another computer graphics play slower and sound just goes on at its normal rate. I know that depending on the power of the computer is how fast is going to play but I think has to be a script that will read the computer capabilities or system speed and then it will play at an assigned frame rate according to the system capabilities. Is this possible or not? or do I have to create 2 versions where one of the movies frame rate is faster than the other so the user can pick one according to their capabilities. Please help or send me a refference where I can go end check this inconvenient that is making me crazy.
Note: All this is being tested on T3 conection.

What is the best way to make an animation or a big jpg animate smoothly. I have noticed that when you animate an opacity change it slows the rest of the movie down, even if I add a loading script at the beginning
Any ideas?

Speed It Up
If u check out
cirquelemasque
you will see the way the interface moves left or right. I know if i change the base rate it will make it move faster or slower but what cna i do to make it work faster on slower modems. the overall file wiht intro is 570k. the intro is 200k and 370 for movie. I f i seperate them and make an intro for both, wil lit make the movement faster for slower computers.
Also I will accept comments about the site, Its in its final stages and is live, but I am tweaking it

I've got a general curiousity question: why exactly does Flash run so damn slow?
I've got all sorts of programs on my computer that do things countless times more complex that what my game does, and yet they run at a much greater framerate. How is it that a 2D program chugs along so slowly? Was it a concious decision by someone to limit the amount of processing power Flash gets, or is it just really inefficient?

Speed, Speed, And More Speed - HELP
Hey guys and gals, this is a weird issue I have, I'll try to explain it the best I know how.
Here we go..., I am creating a CD portfolio in Flash and everything is going great. yeah! But I have come across a problem.
I have a main interface which is a swf published as a html file. The user can click on several buttons, these buttons load pictures, videos, and interactive stuff. These files being loaded, are in a seperate folder. I am usin the getURL to well,...get them.
The problem is...It takes forever to load the videos!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but its on a CD, it shouldn't take 2mins to load a video, it should be instantaneous. Its fast when I test it on my hardrive, but not when I test it on my CD!
I need any expert advice you gals and guys may have. please help.
Speed Changes
hi. i've got a shell movie which loads 5 external movies with five buttons.
the first time i press any of these buttons, the movies load and their speed is fine (they're all set at 40fps).
but the second i click a button a 2nd time the speed increases. i'm pretty sure the frame rate cannot increase but i just don't see what i'm not clearing away when i load another movie into my single placeholder.
i was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. i've attached the files.
thanks in advance. fumeng.

I am viewing a web page from 2 different computers - both have Flash Player 7 installed in IE. Actually Flash Player seems to work better in Firefox than IE, but then again what doesn't?
When I view this file on the 2000 machine (the other one is xp), it plays much too slow, even after the whole file has been downloaded. Is this processor speed? Doesn't make sense as both processors are fast.

Need More Speed
Can anyone please show me how to speed up this scrolling mc:
i have a long mc which will be full of thumbnails, and it has left and right scroll buttons which move the whole mc left or right. The movie has a frame rate of 60.
The mc and the buttons are all in an mc with these actions on it:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (frameCounter%speedFactor == 0) {
if (sliding == "left" && picBar._x>-588) {
picBar._x--;
} else if (sliding == "right" && picBar._x<-382) {
picBar._x++;
}
frameCounter = 0;
}
frameCounter++;
}
Inside that mc there are these actions on the timeline:
Code:
scrolling = 0;
frameCounter = 1;
speedFactor = 1;
The buttons have this code (this is just the left one which is obviously almost identical to the right):
Code:
on (press) {
sliding = "left";
frameCounter = speedFactor;
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
sliding = 0;
}
Please tell me how to adjust the speed of the scroller, everything i've tried either makes no difference or slows it down.
Speed Changes In Web
I searched the forums for this question, but didn't find any that helped to answer it.
The scenario:
When I make files, they run perfectly fine in 30 fps, in the preview mode.
They work perfectly fine as a .swf running off my pc.
When I upload it to the web, the frame rate drops considerably.
I have tested it on the Safari browser as well, so I know it isn't just my own PC.
Here are the two files, you can see for yourself:
Web version: http://members.cox.net/projecthappy/BDcard.html
.FLA version: http://members.cox.net/projecthappy/BDcard.fla
The point was for the cake to fall right during the 'woop' sound, but its off-sync in the browser version.
I'm having this same problem with any other file I try to put online. Even very basic and small files.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
