Flash :: Movie Playing At Wrong Frame Rate

Mp3 Being Loaded, But Playing At Wrong Rate
I have an mp3 being loaded into a Flash file that once played its playback is the wrong speed. The file is not set to playback on a timeline, but to stream from AS 2.0. One mp3 is playing back super slow and a different one is playing super fast. This is happening locally on my machine, so it isn't a streaming problem. Anyone have this happen before?

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.

Movie Clip, Frame Rate Ignored
I have a movie which I want to run at only one frame per second (it sets its depth to be on top, but checks only once per second).

I set the frame rate to "1" in the property panel for the movie clip. However, when I run it, the trace statement blasts out at high speed (30+ fps?).

Why won't Flash obey my "1 fps" setting ?

Imported Movie Different Frame Rate
Hello,

Is there a solution for this so I can seperate the two differences in speed?

tnx.

Movie Clip Frame Rate
is it possible to change the frame rate of an indevidual movie clip? my entire site is running at the defualt 12fps, but there is a movie clip within it that plays when you rollover something. I would like that one clip to play at 20fps. I thought if I just opened the clip and changed the fps it would work, but it changed for the whole swf, and oddly it even changed an external swf that is loaded into the scene. so, can I adjust only a movie clip's fps without effecting the entire scene? also how come when I changed the fps in one swf, it also changed in the externally loaded swf? thank you much.

Modify Frame Rate Of Loaded Movie
Hi everyone,

I have a main portfolio interface movie on which I'm loading a bunch of old projects.

I realized that one of the old project has been created in 15 frames per second to sync up with voice over and the main parent movie is at 35 fps.

It's going to be too much work to go back and modify the old movie since there are a lot of animations according to the sound.

Is there anyway you can control the frame rate of loading movie so that it will play at the original fps and not affected by main hosting movie frame rate?

Frame Rate Problem With QuickTime Movie
In my flash document, I have an embedded QuickTime movie with a length of 1.57s at 15 frames/sec. My flash document consists of only one frame as there is a lot of actionscript on different layers, buttons, and movie clip objects. I need to have this movie play in my flash document. The problem is that synchronized at 12 frames/sec, a few frames get dropped. Not synchronizing or setting a differnt flash frame rate results in the movie playing fine but stopping prematurly. In this case flash interprets the movie as having only 19 frames when there really are 24 (1.57sec * 15 frames/sec). Extending the timeline to match the number of frames in the movie results in unstable behavior as there is actionscript on many layers. How can I fix this problem?

[AS3] Increase Frame Rate Of Another Movie Clip
I'm to increase frame rate of another movie clip (cool) with the rotating knob (fan_knob) is this possible, obviously "frameRate" is not the correct command. Will anybody tell me what the correct command is?
Thank you

Code:
if (0 < fan_knob.rotation && fan_knob.rotation < 20){
MovieClip(root).cool.frameRate(30);
}
else if (20 < fan_knob.rotation && fan_knob.rotation < 40){
MovieClip(root).cool.frameRate(35);
}
else if (40 < fan_knob.rotation && fan_knob.rotation < 60){
MovieClip(root).cool.frameRate(40);
}
else if (60 < fan_knob.rotation && fan_knob.rotation < 80){
MovieClip(root).cool.frameRate(45);

[AS3] Trying To Control The Frame Rate On A Movie Clip
I'm trying to control the frame rate on a movie clip ( i want the movie to flash at a speed controled by a knob) currently i have a tweened time line that fades in and out over the course of 20 frames. and the knob i have to control it is set to play that movie clip and set the frame rate at the same time. i have placed a trace statement on the knob rotation and the frame rate of the second clip. they both seem to show a decreas and increase of rate and angle as i turn the knob but vissually it looks same. any ideas? (i have enclosed just a part of my knob rotation code it is ugly i know i should have done an array) thank you for the help

Code:

his.fan_knob.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fan3);
fan_knob.buttonMode = true;
function fan3(evt:Event):void {
if (this.ok) {
trace("knob "+ fan_knob.rotation);
var xVar = this.mouseX-fan_knob.x;
var yVar = this.mouseY-fan_knob.y;
MovieClip(root).texting.gotoAndStop(9);
fan_knob.rotation = Math.max(0, Math.min(180, Math.abs(-(Math.atan2((yVar), -(xVar))*(180/Math.PI)))));

} if (0 < fan_knob.rotation && fan_knob.rotation < 20 && (0 < MovieClip(root).hvac_knob.hvac_knob.rotation && MovieClip(root).hvac_knob.hvac_knob.rotation < 96) && (MovieClip(root).AC_Heat.currentFrame == 3)) {

Frame Rate Inside Of A Movie Clip
Frame Rate inside of a movie clip

ok i am new at scripting, and i can't figure out a way to change the frame rate inside of a movie clip, My time line is set at 1 frame a second because i have imported a song file into it and when on a 12 fps frame rate the song goes on for 600 or so frames, i want to have my timeline set up at one frame per second and by useing scripting have each frame have a movie clip that can run at the normal speed of 12 fps.

does anyone know the Action script code i could use to do this?
or could make me one that works?

Changing The Frame Rate Does Not Affect The Speed Of The Movie?
I'm trying to create a rollover that involves a photo cut up into strips. Each of the fragments fades in, slightly increases (10%) in size, and then falls into place. I'm trying to play around with the speed of this effect but increasing the frame rate does not change the speed of the rollover. The movie is only 54Kb. Could anyone explain why is this happening and what is the best way around it?

Many thanks for your help!

Detect Frame Rate Of Flash Movie At Runtime?
Hello-

Does anyone know how to trace out the frame rate that a swf is currently playing at?
I've tried creating two date objects on adjacent frames, running the getTime() method on each and subtracting the difference but it seems to be the same regardless of what I set the movie's frame rate to in the property inspector...

I am basically trying to monitor the performance of an animation at runtime and make adjustments on the fly based on how fast or slow the movie is playing.

thanks in advance-

Banner Loader That Adapt To Child Movie's Frame Rate
Hi,

I have a movie loader that loads variables from a text file, which contains a list of child movies. The loader is working fine. However, all movies will change their frame rates to the parent movie's frame rate. I tried to loadMovieNum("childMovie.swf", 0), and it works for the first child movie. But once I load the child movie to _level0, all variables in the root timeline are erased. So the 2nd child movie will not know what the next movie is.

Could anyone tell me if there's a way of creating a movie loader that plays at the loaded child movie's frame rate?

Thanks a lot in advance!

True Or False? - You Can Animate Faster Or Slower Than Frame Rate Of The Main Movie
(see title)

Apparently, even if you use " setInterval ( ) " and/or " updateAfterEvent ( ) ", you cannot get a faster display of animation frames (via ActionScript) than the Main Movie's frame rate...

Is this true ?

Or is there a way to have the main movie running at 12 fps, and a loaded SWF running at 50 fps ?

Detecting Flash Movie Original Width, Height, Frame Rate, Etc. (programmatically)
Let's they you need to embed a Flash movie into your web-page, but you don't know it's width & height, then it may become kinda problematic..

To solve this problem I've made a small utility class which parses SWF-file and extracts basic movie clip parameters like width, height, fps, frames etc.

You may download it here: http://navin.biz/files/SWFParser.zip

It's a free tool written in C# (.NET Framework 2.0) and contains the source code as well.

P.S.: There is no way correctly detecting Flash movie's width & height with JavaScript, you may only do this by parsing SWF file on a server side (with PHP or Ruby or C# etc.).

Playing A Movie From Frame To Frame, But How?

Thx Much,

Playing To Certain Frame On A Movie
hello

im currently making myself a personal portfolio website using flash (which im very new to)

anyway im going to import a video into flash which is going to be of a rotating cube

then i want to have the video play to a specific frame when the user rolls over a certain area.

i dont want the video to just instantly go to that frame i want it to play to it so you see the frames in between.

the idea is that the user will be able to rotate the cube to see the content on each side by moving their mouse around a specific area on screen.

anyone have any idea how i could control a movie clip in this way?

Playing A Frame In Another Movie Clip
Hello,
I'm working on a flash doc with multiple movie clips within each other. One is 3 levels down and I want it to play a frame at one level up. I know that if there were only 2 levels the code would look like:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(18);
}

But since I don't want it to go to the root, I'm not sure how to make it go to the other clip. Can anyone help here?
