Best Way To Speed A Flash Movie ?



Hi all,

I have a movie clip that does a lot of math calculations as well as alpha changing in
and out which consumes a bit of time.

only one instance of this movie clip can run pretty smooth inside my flash movie.

problem is I would like to duplicate about 30 or more instances of this movie clip in
my flash movie which of course slows down the movie speed.

I was thinking I would just create one instance clip.swf and use
loadmovienum(clip.swf, i) upto 30 times and then the multiple loaded swf clips will
play independently of each other creating a smoother animation, I don't know if that is
the case?

or use the .attachmovie action as an alternative ?, I don't know if this will make any
difference?

I am not really sure I understand the difference between loadmovienum and
attachmovie.

please help,

thanks in advance,

Wael

Letting Flash Pre-loader Determine Connection Speed And Select Appropriate Movie?
Is it possible to have a preloader determine the connection speed and then load different swf if it's dial-up or broadband?

Somehow have the preloader check how much of a movie has been downloaded after a predetermined amount of time. If at that point download is < 50%, a much smaller swf should be loaded.

MOVIE SPEED
How can you make flash movie animations as quick as: (click link)
http://www.estudio.com/Flash/M_efrenzy.htm

I know you can change the frame rate, but I don't get these fast and smooth animations.

Is it done with actionscripts ? And if so...HOW !!

Movie Speed
I am wondering how to set the speed a movie clip moves when I am using the getProperty function.
I set the x properties but I want to be able to control the speed that the MC moves left to right and righ to left.
The MC is controlled by the mouse moving to the right or the left.
Where do I define the speed? In the getProperty? or setProperty?
Not sure if this is the correct way to explain, but need help.

Thanks!

Movie Speed Help
Is it normal for different computers to play flash movies at different speeds? I tested a movie on a Pentium 4 computer as well as a Power Mac G4, and the Pentium plays the movie a lot faster. How can I get some kind of consistency? Since right now, one or the other looks wierd.

Speed Of Movie
Hi! My question is about realizing that the actual playback time of my flash movie varies from system to system (RAM, processor speed and such).. so, the 'Frames Per Second' setting seems somewhat subjective regarding playback speed. Is there a way to set the actual playback time so that across the board it will be the same?

Movie Speed
Hi... !

I´ve notice that browsers slow down notoriously speed in movies when you work with increased frames per seconds...

Flash player works fine, but internet explorer slows the speed rate.

However, you can see a thousand web sites extremely accelerated over there...

Is there any script to control this matter ?

Thanks (and sorry for my bad english)

Movie Speed?
Is it possible to somehow sustain the original frame rate of the .swf file when it's loaded into another(slower).swf????

Speed Of Movie
I have a PC with a Pent4 2GHz and 512 RAM WinXP on a 56K
My collegue has a MAC OS10.3.3 with 1.25 GHz & 768 RAM on a cable connection.
My question is why does the Flash movie on our site: http://sarahsfabrics.com
play twice as fast on my computer as it does on hers.
Other Flash sites that we have looked at run at the same speed on our computers.
Is there a reason for this?
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
Im loading an animating logo dynamically into a site. The animation works in normal speed if i access it directly:
http://www.ingerreime.no/David/thegl...ches/home.html
But, when i load it dynamically into the main site, the speed reduces drastically! Click "home":

Everything is loaded dynamically, except the blue backgrounds.

Any thoughts?

Speed Of Actual Movie
I have been able to put together a simple movie, but am unable to control the actual speed of the movie-it seems to rush across the screen - if I change the frame rate, other parts of the movie look too fast, while it crosses the screen relatively slower. Is this an action script problem or have I missed something in the user's guide?

Increasing Movie Speed
Hello,

I've written a simple movie that morphs between two faces:

http://www.pluginrequired.com

but it is very slow.

It works by duplicating the same simple movie of a green circle several times. The diameter of each circle is read from an array of start values.

There is then a simple loop. During each loop the scale of each circle movie clip is changed slightly towards a value from a second array of finish values.

It takes 10 loops for the transformation to be complete.

Each loop involves going through each circle in turn and adjusting the xscale and yscale. As there are 2700 circles, this takes quite a while.

Any ideas as to how to decrease the delay?

I've tried putting the code in the individual circle movies and referencing the necesary values from there. Sadly, this number of movies, all trying to do calculations at once, crashed my machine.

I've also tried making the circle movie a clip whereby the circle has a diameter of 0.1 on frame 1 tweening upto a value of 10 on frame 100. the size is then controlled by sending the movieclip to a specific frame rather than by resizing the movie. This also didn't work.

Any other ideas? I like the effect but it is useless to me, running at this speed. Changing the frame rate hasn't helped as it is the calculation time that is the limiting factor.

Thanks

Movie Speed/sync.
hi,

Im new to animating in flash, and Im currently building a straight forward animation. not interactive.

my questios is:

it will be running at 1024/768 and will mainly be vector. how can i be sure that it runs smoothly and doesnt loose time with the audio.

I take it a faster machine will cope better. It will be ran from file/cd not web so thats not a problem.

By unloading unused mc from the stage will this help? or is this done automatically. ie if no longer in tmieline.

any tips out there i should know.

thanks.

Ben.

Movie Speed With Mouse

[F8] Movie Clip Speed
im building a marquee within a flash movie..it is in its own MC.

there are about 10 words and i dont want a timeline like 800 frames long to keep speed low on each word scroll!

is there a way i can use the least amount of frames possible and still have the words scroll smoothly and somewhat slow across the movie?

some kind of AS?

Thanks!

[F8] Movie Clip Speed
Hi,
just wondering what the best way to control the speed of a movie is. I have a movie clip that is text scrolling from right to left and it needs to go slower so that it’s easier to read. What's the best way to change this without changing the entire fps of the swf?
Thanks!!!

Speed And Smoothness With Movie
I got a problem with the smoothness of my movie.. can you please check out this site, and check what is the problem

The frames per second is 54, can please suggest me what i can do?

It is using Flash MX compression, therefore you need flash player 6 to view this site

http://clstesting.port5.com

Also, check out the text which loads up in the company profile or product range and see how blurry it is because of anti-aliasing.. can i turn it off some way?? i don't need that.. the text is really bad with anti-aliasing!

Movie Speed Transition
Hi, can anyone tell me how to alter the movie/tween speed from a fast transition to a slow/stop without using key frames? A good example of the effect I am trying to achieve is on this site: http://www.de-construct.com/

The text moves in to a slow/stop and is really smooth then moves back out again. Is this an action script or can i achieve this through motion tween?

Sorry if this isn't a very good explanation. Probably a better way of explaining: If I wanted a car to appear from the left of the screen and slowly come to a smooth stop in the middle. Thats probably an better explanation!

Thanks for any replies.

Slowing Frame Speed Down During Movie
Hey all!

I have a question regarding fps. Is there an actionscript that can slow the fps down in the middle of a movie? I'm looking to do a kind of "slow mo" effect, and I was wondering if this is possible, or if I just need to do it manually with a movie clip or something, y'know?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Help-my Movie Wont Run At A Constant Speed
Hi all
I am a very newbie user.
I have made a movie which consists of about 18 jpegs
i have put each one on a layer and have used the advanced effect to make them appear as if they are merging one into the other.
the movie size is around 550k and lasts around 15 seconds

the frames per sec is 12.

When i save as a swf the movie will not run consistantly and keeps staggering.

I have looked at actions and asked it to pre load but it does not make any difference.

If i test the movie it shows that each image is above the red line when streaming and waiting to load but i am using as a stand alone player-not as a web application.

Can anyone help?

Frame Rate/movie Speed?
I'm sure there's a simple answer to this. I have my movie set at 55 fps. Now, when I test inside MX, there's no prooblem. Plays like a dream. But when I test it outside of flash, like in an HTML document or by itself like an swf, its VERY slow..and I can't figure out why.

Check it out yourself: http://pgb.web1000.com/img/bd2.swf

this is an unfinished project..no critiques please =P

Controlling Speed Of A Movie Clip
