Favourite Framerate
Hey guys,
I made another post about this on this forum, and the answers made me wonder about the use of framerate. What do all of you think is the best quality / cpu-friendly combination and what are your experiences ?

Framerate Of Loaded SWF Changing Framerate Of Main Movie?
I don't understand why this is happening, as everywhere I read said this was impossible, but - I have my main movie defined as 24fps.
I use the following code to load in an SWF that happens to be 12fps.
ActionScript Code:
_root.ImageLoop.createEmptyMovieClip("anSWF", _root.ImageLoop.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.ImageLoop.anSWF.loadMovie("./InsulinClip4plasma_12fps_mx.swf");
As I understand it the main movie should control the framerate so I was terribly shocked when I found my main movie runs at 12fps after loading in that swf.
Does anyone know how I can circumvent this?
Thanks!
What's Your Favourite Fps?
hey,
what speed do you guys usually publish your movies at?
what's the ultimate movie speed? i've gone through this book it's called advanced actionscripting from the source by Franklin. It seemed like they always used 24.
D'you think there's any theory behind that?
Thanks

Video Framerate / Movie Framerate Issues
Hi all,
I have one swf, say "loader.swf", running at 40 fps loading a video swf, say "video.swf", exported from sorensen squeeze running at 25 fps.
Now, what I thought at first was video.swf would adjust to the framerate of loader.swf, like any other swf would, but it seems that if video.swf contains timeline video or sound, loader.swf will conform to the framerate of video.swf ?
When decompiling the swf from sorensen squeeze there´s also a "framerate=25.00000" action at frame 1. Is this some kind of secret movie property, or just a simple way for loader.swf to get the video framerate?
What happens to loader.swf when i unload media.swf? Will it go back to its original framerate?
Couldnt find any info on these slightly puzzling issues, anyone with experience from this?

Maths....my Favourite Subject
Hi,
I have a photogallery which resizes the border of the photo dynamically. The script was taken from a tutorial which i modified slightly.
Currently the script is resizing the border from the centre outwards, I was wondering if it might be possible to constrain the resize to the top left corner instead of the centre?
Code:
space = -20;
image_mc._alpha = 0;
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function(photo){
image_mc._alpha = 0;
this.loadMovie(photo);
_level0.onEnterFrame = function(){
// modified the total and loaded so as to round it up
// to smaller number.
var total = Math.round(image_mc.getBytesTotal()/1024);
var loaded = Math.round(image_mc.getBytesLoaded()/1024);
if (total != 0 && loaded>=total){
var w = image_mc._width + space;
var h = image_mc._height + space;
border._alpha = 100;
border.resize(w, h);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.resize = function(w, h){
//the higher the slower the resize of the border
var speed = 3;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._width += (w - this._width)/speed;
this._height += (h - this._height)/speed;
if( Math.abs(this._width-w)<1 && Math.abs(this._height-h)<1){
this._width = w;
this._height = h;
image_mc._x = this._x - this._width/2 + space/2;
image_mc._y = this._y - this._height/2 + space/2;
image_mc._alpha = 100;
border._alpha -= 50;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
Any help would be appreciated

My Favourite Implementation...easy?
Card carrying flashturbation and whirly add hater here.
Recently came across this: http://www.esanda.com/
Really like the way it's been done. Would personally add something ala SP's "don't show me this again", but other than that I found it unobtrusive and reasonably entertaining.
Could just be the novelty value - I'm sure 100 sites like this would get on my tits....but....how easy is it to achieve something like this - I'm thinking about having another dabble into the workd of Flash (something I haven't done for a couple of years)
Less Functionallity In MX2004? Some Of My Favourite Things Seem To Be Gone...
Hi
Im seriously considering going back to mx from 2004.
I'd love it if someone can tell me that certain functions are still there, just hidden in new places, for instalce...
You used to be able to resize a clip by percentages with ctrl/alt/s
now I cant find anyway to resize by percentages.
There appears to be no 'open as library' command.
They seem to have changed something in the way a clip aligns to the centre of the stage so that it uses the registration point in the top left rather than the centre of the clip? (I think thats whats happenning).
Pressing the f12 key on my machine only opens the file in internet explorer if there was an explorer window open already.
I guess thats my major gripes, the most important one to me is the resizing by percentage.
Have I missed something?
The All Time Favourite Error#1010 (detailed Information)
Hi so here is what I'm trying to archive:
It's very simple I'm trying to create a nice imageviewer for my website so that people can take a look at the different details in the images.
For that purpose I have a Movieclip with the Image in it on my stage, a number of buttons and my actionslayer.
Now I want to use Tweener to modify the position of my Movieclip.
Here is the code that resides on the first frame of my actionslayer:
Instancenames:
Arrowup = one of my buttons
Swosh = my movieclip with the image in it
Code:
import caurina.transitions.*;
arrowup.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , arrowupfun);
function arrowupfun(e: MouseEvent):void
{
Tweener.addTween(swosh, {y:swosh.DisplayObject.y+10,
time:5});
}
Now it is the following part that causes the Problem:
Code:
y:swosh.DisplayObject.y+10,
Whenever I test the Movie with this in there instead of something simple like "x:500," I get the following error when I click the button:
Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at Imageviewer_fla::MainTimeline/arrowupfun()
So I know that it's that part of the code that causes the system to call for something that is undefined, but since 1010 doesn't really give me a clue on where the heck that stuff is missing I have no Idea where to troubleshoot...
This really annoys me since I wanna finish the site I hope someone here can help me.
If you want further information please say so.

FrameRate
Is it possible to control the frameRate of a movieClip, independently of the main movie frameRate?
So if my main movie runs at 60fps, I need my movieClip to run at 25fps.
Also if I'm loading a movie into another movie, can I control the movie frameRate of the movie I'm loading in, to be independant of the host movie.
Thanx

Right Framerate ?
Hello,
I just wonder, what's the right framerate to use ?!
The moving of my objects really looks smooth with 40fps. I wonder if it's ok using such a high frame rate. Is there a kind of "rule fo thumb" ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
cheers

Max Framerate MX (mac/pc)
hello all.
Got an old-new question:
what is the maximum framerate that will play on all platforms? 15, 18?
The flash player 5 wouldn't play faster than 15 fps on macs.
any input?
thanks,

Framerate
Haidiho!
Is it possible to use different framerates in a external swf. My level 0 swf has got a framerate of 20 and my level 1 has 60. But the player takes over the framerate of level 0!! Can I change that?

Framerate?
How do you guys make a nice flash animation without it "lagging"? I tried making some, but it keeps lagging, thought may be because of my framerate (60fps), but if i drop it too low, it becomes ugly. ...
Framerate?
I have a big problem...I'm using an animated navigation that looks great using 50 fps. If I would do a site with this framerate..where are the problems? Someone knows if there are sites using higher framrates than the usual 12fps?
Another question is if there is a way to load movies with different framerates and keep them going on with them?
thanks a lot!
Swf Framerate Lag?
wondering if someone can help me. I've created an animated flash header for a website, and it just does fairly simple transistions from one image to another. For some reason the framerate seems to drop partway through the movie. The clip is set at 30 fps, exported at version 6 (was created in MX 2004).
Here's a link to the movie: header.swf
The clip begins to lag near the end of the first image transition..
Here's the .fla file if anyone is interested: header.fla
I have a slower PC, but i've been told by several people that the movie lags even on fast processors..
What Framerate To Use?
last time I made an animation I used the default framerate and some people told me that its better to use a higher framerate. What do you think is a good framerate to use, or what is the lowest framerate that shoudl be used?
Thanks, Matt
Which Framerate/s?
hello at all,
i´ve got some problems regarding to my flash site i´m creating.
for now i´m making the layout and some 3D animmations which i´ll put in this. my questions are:
1. how many fps do usually choose?
2. if i choose fps of 12 for my mainmc and then load another mc in it(my 3D mc),i.e. in level1 or a container, needs the movie at level1 also the fps of 12?
3. can there be different fps of the movies when they are in different levels?
thanks in advance for ur help.
best anfd greets

Framerate
I'm curious as to how frame rate plays into downloading a flash animation. Would it make the file much larger or harder to play on slower computers or because it's vector based would it not matter. And is there any standard as to what fps to use for flash animating? Thanks!
Framerate
Does anyone know of a way to have a certain framerate in one scene of a movie, and another framerate in the next? ie: Scene 1 FPS=30, Scene 2 FPS=50. Thanks in advance!
Framerate
is there a way to change the framerate of a movie via action script?
I have a power bar that moves up and down, but it moves too slow (but I need there to be that exact number of frames) so is there away to speed up the framerate when the powerbar starts moving but then put it back to normal when it stops?
Thanks!
Edit: I am using Flash 5

Different FrameRate
hi
how can i use a equalizer like this (http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...6641/index.php)
if my movies are 35fps ans the eqaulizer is 120 fps?
if i load the equalizer in the main swf it goes very very slow obviously.. how can i do?
thanks!
Different Framerate Within The Same *.fla
In my main file I have the standard framerate 12fps.
In a movieclip I have used this code;
Code:
function timelineFaster() {
nextFrame();
updateAfterEvent();
}
var tweenFaster:Number = setInterval(timelineFaster, 42);
on the first keyframe, and this make the movieclip
play faster in the main movie.
But when the movieclip comes to an end the movieclip-framerate
seems to transfer to the main movie, and the mainmovie speeds up.
What can I do to avoid it?

Framerate
Hi,
I have a fla that contains only a framerate componant that displays current / average framerate.
If I put the framerate up to 120,
The average framerate after 2 minutes is 34.
There is nothing else in the fla.
What is going on?
Thanks
FrameRate In AS3
Hello,
I know there is a method to control framerate in a movie using AS3. But is there any way to get the frameRate of an external SWF file that is loaded inside another using actionscript?
Any help would be highly appreciated
Get Framerate
Hi Folks,
Maybe you will find it useful - I know there has been several versions.
PHP Code:
Object.prototype.getFps = function() {
if (signal == true) {
time = getTimer();
} else {
tempo = int(1000 / (getTimer() - time));
}
signal = !signal;
return tempo;
};
// Aufruf
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
txtAusgabe = getFps();
};

Okay, first of all, forgive me, for I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times before, but I didn't quite find the thing I wanted with the search button.
Anyways, I'm planning on creating a full flash website with lots of effects, so what Framerate should I use?
Thanks

Getting The Framerate
hey,
As you know in flash if you are making games, if you have lots of graphical stuff the computer can get laggy. This is basically depending on the people's machine, how much RAM ect.
I wanna do it so that it's allways smooth, to do this I need to know what the current frame rate is. Then depending on the numbers I would do certain actions to reduce the graphics. But how do I get the FPS??
I don't mean the one I set, I mean when it is lagging horribly, is there a way to tell flash that it's lagging?
basically I need a statement that tells flash that if computer is lagging, turn variable on. Any ideas?
Recommended Framerate?
Looking at the Flash Sites of the day, I've noticed one big similarity among most of them: they seem to have graphics that move incredibly fast, yet very smoothly. Even http://www.2advanced.com moves relatively smoothly on my machine, which has a sucky video card.
What's the max framerate you guys would recommend?

Help Please Framerate Problem
http://www.interpaul.nl/schaapskooi/Movietest.html
can you please give me some info on how to make the framerate go up?
heres the deal. the site itsself is ok, but as soon as you press a button on the board another movieclip comes ontop of the whole site and shows a scroll that roll open.. thats where the problem is .. i has MASSIVE framerate drop on most of the pc's here. pIII800. thats bad!..
i think its all the text on the screen that causes the framedrops. its all behind a mask that opens up, as the scrolls openup, all motions are tweened, (yeah i know i should use scrpit, but its an update of an old site and i dont have the time to do a complete remake).
has someone got some ideas?
thanks in advance!

Changing The Framerate Using AC?
Bit of a long shot but here goes anyway:
I was having a convo with a mate of mine and we was wondering about "Is it actually possible to change the frame rate using actionscript so you can have a very high fps for the intro and in the next scene have a frame rate of something around 18"
Anyone got anyideas? Im a bit a n00b wen it comes to AC but if you could help it would be absolutly FAB.
Cheers,

Framerate After LoadMovie
i have a big movie running at a framerate of 15 which loads several other movies from the filesystem using loadMovie().
these movies have sometimes a different framerate.
how exactly is the framerate changed? i guess its using the parents framerate, but im not sure?
is there a way to avoid this?
is there a way to avoid the scaling to the size of the parent movie?
thanks!
Changing Framerate
Hello again, my movie has a framerate of about 12fps, well in certain parts of the movie, liek certain objects.. i would like to speed tehm up to like 30 or so , but i catn figure out how to simply change the framerate on certain objects. i jsut want like text to change frame rate, not the whole movie
Why Does My Framerate Change?
i wanted to ask anybody out there for help im having trouble with an animation.
i have a movie clip and it is zooming in and out and moving around and for some reason the framerate changes as it goes thru the tweens.
i started it out at 24 fps (frames per second) but for some reason as it goes thru the tweens it drops to as low as 6 fps and comes back up sometimes. this makes the animation all jittery and dumb.
how can i get it to keep a steady framerate?
