Flash animation not smooth

The animation I am currently working on is at a rate of 30
fps and when I test the movie and export it out to test it my
animation becomes jumpy and doesn't run at the specified frames per
second. I would like to know what can be done to improve/ fix this
situation.

does your animation contain moving images or a lot of audio?
if so, this might be slowing down your flash player. you might want
to look at the export settings for the quality of your images and
audio. you might also consider loading images/audio
externally.

    That will mostly work. I also have 'export INTEL_BATCH=1' in ~/.kde/env/compiz.sh. If it is still not good, try:

    Driver "intel"
    Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
    Option "DRI" "true"
    Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"

    However, with the last configuration, XVideo will not work.
    If you have some time, in a few months, a better, faster version of the intel driver will hopefully be ready, it is being worked on (search for intel-batchbuffer on google).

  • Flash Animation not lined up with screen

    Hi,
    I am a complete newbie to dreamweaver and will try to
    explain. I have a flash animation that i can not get to be even on
    the screen during runtime. I am guessing with all my screwing
    around that i messed up the layout format or something. I read
    somewhere that in dreamweaver, i can go to window >workspace
    layout and then default. I do not have this default though.
    So I think what I am after is a way to reset the layout?
    Please help
    Thanks in advance.

    It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
    several
    years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
    (Flash, Quicktime
    etc)
    is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

  • Flash Animation Not Working

    I'm fairly new to flash design and I am currently trying to upload my portfolio site to the web.
    The site is up at http://bryanmurphydesign.com/
    It is a horizontal layout and when you click on certain buttons it side scrolls to that specific area.
    The buttons don't execute the actionscript that I need them to not to mention that some images are missing.
    Also, are there any bulk packaging publisher settings like InDesign has? I think there may be a problem in the location of some files and I think Flash may not be locating them properly.
    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

    all your files do NOT need to be in one folder.  it's easiest if your embedding html and swf are in the same folder but other than that it's generally desirable to put images, for example, in an images subfolder of the html/swf containing folder.
    check my previous message more carefully.  you're referencing drive letter C: from your local computer.  that drive isn't on your server so when you upload your files to your server, that image won't be found because flash is looking for the C: drive on your server.

  • Flash animations not playing in Captivate 5.5

    When I import a swf from Camtasia 5 into Captivate 5.5, it plays when I "play slide," but not when I play "project" or "from this slide." So.... I saved it as a flv. It plays... if I click the play button, but that's not what I want.
    I've used this technique many times before over the years with no problem. I create an animation in PowerPoint, record it with Camtasia, and import it into Captivate. I need to be able to do it in this version.
    What has gone wrong? Thanks for any suggestions!!

    If your AS2 file is working fine, chalk it up to luck and buy a lottery ticket.  Most users are NOT going to be as fortunate.  Remember where you placed it in your project though, because if you ever start seeing this project go into spasms and flicker like it was having a fit, the quickest solution will probably be to get rid of this AS2 component.
    As for your other issue with the AS3 file, there may be a number of possibilities. My first guess is that your SWF is probably set up as a symbol in the Flash file and the animation is buried inside that symbol.  Due to the way Captivate 5x loads SWFs now, the animation may actually be playing in the background before you reach its slide and that means it will have finished playing by the time you get to where you want it to play. 
    If you want to test this theory, you'll need access to the original FLA file used to create this animation.  Try placing some piece of marker text on the final frame of the animation along with a stop(); action.  Then reinsert into your Captivate project.  If this results in you seeing the marker text on your slide at runtime, then it means the animation has completed playing before you got there.
    If this is the issue, try taking the animation out of the Symbol and placing it all on the main timeline of the Flash file.  Then republish and insert back into your Captivate project.

  • Flash animation not viewing in Internet Explorer

    I have built a website in iweb using Slideshowpro and Vertical Moon products, everything views as it has been built in Safari and Firefox, in Internet Explorer the text animations do not view at all, but the rest does OK. In opera all views OK with the exception of the text which I used transparent tag, it does not view transparent, but as a block
    This is very frustrating has anyone else had this problem, and hw do you fix it
    Thank you

    Well, I don't really think they do. It is the PC world and ultimately Internet Explorer that are well behind the times with this technology. Internet Explorer must be the worst browser around and has been for sometime - little wonder that Bill Gates used to throw in a free copy with every PC.
    It is my belief that the PC industry need to update. In the meantime, what you can do is ensure that the PC users have javascript enabled on the PC's and also suggest that they go and download a copy of either Firefox for PC or a copy of Safari for PC. Add that on your site and let them know that it is best viewed with a copy of Firefox or Safari and have the clickable links on your site so that they can go there.
    I don't think it is Apple's problem to address IE - Apple technology is ahead of this. This is for the PC industry to do and to catch up - perhaps they need to ensure they come up with something better than IE and Vista, which has been a bit of a disaster.

  • Flash Video not smooth when using Firefox tabs

    I'm not sure whether this is a Flash Player problem or a
    Firefox problem, but something in the integration leads to this
    unpleasant experience.
    I like to start a video and listen to it while I browse other
    content. But when other tabs are loading, the sound from the video
    gets some interruptions.
    What is the root of this problem/bug? Is there any way to fix
    it?
    Thanks,
    Julien
    http://blog.monstuff.com

    I am sorry to hear that you are having this problem with Adobe Flash in Firefox. I would be happy to help you get this problem taken care of. First in Firefox go to the [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer Adobe Flash Player website] . Then instal it, after that close out Firefox just to make sure that it will apply. Then check to see that it is listed in the add-on list.
    This should take care of any problems that you have been having. If not let me know and we will work from there. If it does fix the problem please mark this answer as the solution to the problem.

  • Flash files are not smooth

    Hi,
    I am running DMP 4400G (5.2.3) with DMM server 5.2.3.
    Every thing working fine except the flash files. All the flash files are not smooth. They are playing like fram by fram. I am using flash 10.

    We've run every type of flash on the 4400. We've tried flash 7, flash 10, flash lite, action script 2 and action script 3. For the most part, flash will *not run smoothly* if:
    1. You have very large files, like imported bit map images.
    2. Large sweeping motions or tween animation effects.
    3. Multiple flash objects on a single page.
    4. Video embedded in flash will never play evern remotely reasonably well.
    The best thing to do is:
    1. Keep flash objects small.
    2. Animations should have as few frames as possible, no tween effects, no big sweeping motions, in other words, make transitions small and very quick.
    3. Keep flash objects self contained, that is, don't try to pull in too much content from external sources.
    Like I said, we've tried so many things, but when it comes to flash, the 4400 is rather restrictive.
    Good luck!

  • Flash Animation: Font Not Displaying Correctly

    Hi all!
    I am having a problem with a Flash animation in Captivate that seems like it should be an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.
    I have a very simple Flash animation that I developed in CS5. It previews in Flash perfectly, play correctly in Flash Player, but when I insert it into Captivate 4 the fonts do not display correctly. Capital letters are missing as well as other letters.
    It's not a matter of AS2 vs. AS3 as I have already tested that. It also is not a frame rate or version issue as I have confirmed they are the same rates and the same version.
    Can anyone shed any light? Anyone else had this same problem? Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Daniel

    Hi dmendoza2,
    Did you embed your fonts into the flash animation?  Make sure all characters necessary are embedded.

  • Dock animation is not smooth after updating recent update

    Hi everyone,
    I found that Dock animation (mouse move by) is not smooth anymore after I updated the most recently update (Thunderbolt, EFI recovery).
    Just like... the FPS down from 60 to 25 !!!
    Dose anyone have the same issue after the update?
    My Mac is 2011 MacBook Air 13" i5
    Thanks!

    It was the display driver that was in the Thunderbolt update.  Original/stock Lion 10.7 has driver 7.0.6.  This works beautifully - MC animations smooth, browser scrolling fluid - in other words what you would expect from a $1200 laptop   I pulled the trigger and did a Command-R 'reinstall' which put the original driver back on.
    The TB update moved the driver to 7.0.8 and some folks are running 10.7.2 (beta ?) and it's driver is at 7.1.2.  So far - folks are reporting that all of these new drivers still have the choppiness
    To find out what driver is on your system, run this in a terminal:
    kextstat | egrep 'Intel.*Graphics'
    You shoud get something like below.  The number inside the parens is the driver version.
       71    0 0xffffff7f815e4000 0x2c000    0x2c000    com.apple.driver.AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB (7.0.6) <70 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 1>
       73    0 0xffffff7f8161e000 0xe1000    0xe1000    com.apple.driver.AppleIntelHDGraphics (7.0.6) <72 70 9 7 5 4 3 1>
    So the real question - how can we escelate this with Apple ?  This is a regression and user experience impact on a brand new line/model (MBA).

  • I can not export Flash animations successfully as a Quick Time Video.  Please Help...

    Hello there,
    I have been trying to both publish and export a Flash
    animation from a native Flash file as a Quicktime .mov file. I am
    using Flash 8 and have Quicktime 7.1.3 installed on my Mac running
    OSX 10.4.8 - I get an error message every time I try to publish the
    animation as Quicktime saying "An error occurred because a required
    Quick Time component could not be found." My Quick Time program
    works perfectly in all other programs. I tried it on another
    computer and got the same error. I tried several different settings
    and worked through the Flash Help Guide with no luck.
    I also tried to do File / Export / Export Movie / Quick Time
    Video. When I use this option it does successfully complete an
    export but Quicktime file ".mov" has missing graphics and no sound
    from the original Flash animation. Can you help me please. I need
    to import this animation in a Keynote presentation ultimately.
    Thank you.

    Thanks Nickels55 - beat me to that ink :)
    Also - try setting publish settings to flash player 5 - you
    may lose some flash 8 features if you
    are using any.
    Personally - I find the best solution is SWF2Video
    (www.flashants.com) but I am afraid there's no
    Mac version (i think).
    Usually Macs are better than PCs when it comes to export to
    quicktime because you have the option of
    choosing quicktime video - but make sure, if you are
    exporting to a true video (fixed frame rate)
    format you do not use movie clips or actionscript at all
    (convert all movie clips to graphic or
    place on main timeline).

  • To not reload from start flash animation on web page

    Hi,
    I've done a nice flash animation which is in fact an ad
    banner.
    This banner should be displayed on my customer website in
    each pages.
    However, in order to be sure that customers of my client will
    see the
    whole flash animation, i would like to be sure that it's not
    reloaded
    from the first frame.
    is there something like a frames counter which can be
    memorized by PHP
    pages server ?
    i mean on page welcome.php, my banner will be displayed.
    let's say that after few seconds (35 frames for example), the
    customer
    click on a link "prices.php".
    on this prices.php page my ad banner is once again displayed,
    but i
    would like to make sure it starts from frame 36 for example,
    and not
    from frame 1.
    how can i do that ?
    thanks a lot,
    RAF

    Ha! thanks certified. the DW experts are pointing at Motion or Episode. I have confirmed that the file won't loop right out of Episode, so that leaves DW off the hook, i think. But what to do?
    Perhaps my workflow is flawed. I don't want to use Aftereffects to create web animations anymore. I want to use Motion. But this is a showstopper. .swfs are supposed to loop by default, so I can't imagine what's wrong. thanks for anymore advice.

  • When I open about this mac - more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth). Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desk-downloads)

    When I open about this mac -> more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth) even though all the mac (programs , interface ) works smooth . Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desktop-downloads -no garbage there- everything neat and tidy.) Need some help. Only there it the animations goes like 2 fps and is not smooth. I do not understand why because the programs are the same so its the usage. Nothing is changed, yet i experience this little issue for a couple of days.

    OK, I'm confused. When I do About this Mac > More Info in OS10.9, I don't see any animation other than the window resizing. Is that the animation you are describing?
    Which if any of the following apply to your computer:
    1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
    2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
    3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
    4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
    5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
    6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?

  • Flash Animation Does Not Refresh

    I've created a Captivate demo that has an animated flash
    segment in the middle of it. This demo was developed for a trade
    show and was designed to loop so it can run automatically
    throughout the day. Plays great through the first pass. Problem is,
    after it has run once, the flash animation does not refresh and
    play. Only the blank slides are shown. Same thing happens if you
    play the demo then try to rewind to play one of the animated
    sequences.
    If I hit F5 to refresh the browser it plays. How can I get
    this animation file to refresh automatically so it does not require
    human intervention to refresh?
    Thanks!

    Do you have your last side set to go to slide 1 as your way
    of repeating? Try setting it to open other project and just point
