Flash application performance

Hello,
I have some flash applications that run extremely slow when
embedded in pages with lots of animated gifs and loaded with
Internet Explorer. Firefox seems to run the applications well. A
strange thing that I found is that if I embed 4 or 5 applications
of the same type on the same page they run well in IE too. Does
anyone have an idea what might be causing the bad performance in
Internet Explorer?

Nice view into the Enterprise use of flash. Well done.

Flash 9 Performance Issues

I'm running Windows Vista on a PC with 1GB of RAM and a
descent video card with 256MB of RAM. The PC is running the Vista
AERO interface. Performance is fine except when I go to web sites
using Flash. Then performance gets REALLY BAD.
Has anyone else experienced this same problem? At first I
thought my browser was hung, but it wasn't, it was just dog slow.
Only happens with Flash.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Hello BWolfe,
Any update on this issue?
Will there be version 9 that will fix this issue?
This is for us a critical issue, we develop flex
applications (that are not very heavy) and as soon as the
application is iconified almost all the memory goes from the Used
Memory to the Virtual Memory => this memory is available to be
swaped to the disk, then whenever (one or two) big application are
launched the flash app is swapped to the disk (which is normal).
The issues is that once you want to reuse your flash
application, even if the big applications have been closed, you
will have to wait tens of seconds to perform each actions, it's
like if the application was frozen and you have to warm each part
of it before being able to use it at it normal speed (which takes
several minutes).
I haven't tested yet to check if there is a similar issue
using AIR but if that's the case then it should be a top priority
for Adobe because I don't see how people will be able to sell
application that freeze "randomly" from a user's perspective.
PS : I am currently using the latest version of the flash
player 9,0,115,0 on windows XP and I have reproduced this issue on
all the computer I have tested.
best regards.

Firefox has trouble with all flash applications

My favorite forum website recently dropped support for IE. This specific reason, is the ONLY reason I stopped using IE. Firefox has a much closer resemblance to IE than chrome, and this is the ONLY reason I chose it over chrome.
Everything works fine, except every and all flash applications.
Youtube, animated ads, games... everything causes huge cpu load spikes and lags like crazy (I'm sure it would cause a crash on a basic computer). I have a very high end rig, the problem is not my hardware, or internet speed (100mbs). It is entirely fire fox.
All flash apps work FINE on IE/chrome, I tested them. Please offer support, thank you.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
On Windows Vista and above, you can disable Flash protected mode by following the instructions on these pages:

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(See [http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html this Adobe blog post] for technical details about Flash protected mode.)
For recent updates for Adobe Shockwave Flash, please update your version to 14.
Please refer to the security updates [http://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-18.html and Adobe Security Bulletin] for more information.

AIR application performance is very bad(slow)

I have an AIR application developed using Flash CS3. The
issue is application performance is very bad(slow) when the OS
(Windows XP) display property setting is in 16 bit color mode. When
the display property setting is changed to 32 bit color mode
applications performance is good and faster.
Application has used lots of color gradients, tween
animations.
System Configuration:
Windows XP (SP2)
1 GB RAM
INTEL P4 , 1.5 GHz Processor Speed.
Can any one explain that is there any issue with Flash Player
or AIR runtime.

Issue with MozillaFirefox browser and Flash application

Hi all,
             I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0.
             I have created a new flash application and executed it(.swf file has obtained). But, now I need to display the contents of .swf file(i.e., output of my application) in a browser window.
             So, the issue is: When I open flash application in InternetExplorer browser window, then the application/.swf file opens fine. But, it is not working well when open it in MozillaFirefox browser window.
   Please, can anyone help me in this context.
Thanks in advance. Reply me as soon as possible.......

Hi Cyboide,
               Actually, I am new to Flash platform. I have developed a flash file and (.fla and .swf files are created) this .swf file I need to use within our project(based on Java) which is to be run in localhost. So, I had followed these steps as I saw in Google Help:
1.) I had opened .fla file(First.fla) and goto File -> PublishSettings -> Formats tab.
2.) In this tab, I had selected .html and .swf checkboxes and deselected remaining all.
3.) Click on "Publish" button and then "OK" button.
So, a html file with same name as that of .fla/.swf file is created in the same folder beside thes .fla and .swf files.
I think it is clear upto this point.
                 Now,
                            If I open my .swf file simply in a browser window(Mozilla), I can view the contents. But, the Buttons, checkboxes, Combo-boxes etc., controls have no access(i.e., any animation, tweening works well but there is no user interaction).
                           Else, When I open my project in localhost(Java project), here somewhere i call my flash file(i.e.,First.swf file). But, the contents of .swf file are not viewed in the case of Mozilla Firefox. But, it works well in InternetExplorer browser including my whole project(i.e., all localhost). Hence, no problems when opened in IE.
Please reply me as soon as possible. It is the only issue to end up my project.
Waiting for replies.....
thanks a lot in advance..

Flash Application for Mac won't open from DVD disc

I've created a Flash application for a Mac and I have the latest security fix/update for Flash (that was supposed to fix Flash Players and etc.). I've burned the file onto a CD and a DVD. The file plays/opens from the CD but it won't play from the DVD.
Has anyone run into this before?

Well I found some sort of solution. I was burning both discs from a PC. I finally burned the DVD from a Mac and now it works!

Windows 8, problems to show cameras in a flash application

I have a flash application that shows at screen the cameras that the operating system detects, and works fine on windows 7 but now, in windows 8, i have troubles with several cameras. For example firewire cámeras or screen capture driver.
I made a simple test application:
http://mainstream.atnova.com/test/testCamaras.html
The same code executed like an air application seems to work, and the same webpage, running in windows 7, shows all the cameras right.
Is there any bug on flash player for windows 8?
Thanks.

Re:. Flash applications freeze periodically with sound but no video on all browsers.

I've been having problems with flash applications on browsers for the past year or two. What happens is that when a flash video starts, my browser will lag periodically. The sound will be present, but the video will freeze, and I will not be able to switch tabs, click on buttons etc. This was most noticable on YouTube at first, but it's also occuring with other sites, and it's very annoying when a site has flash ads and it causes my entire browsing experience to slow to a crawl. This isn't just a firefox problem, I've tried IE and google chrome as well, and I have also tried different Internet connections. I've tried various suggestions to fix it, such as turning off hardware acceleration, uninstalling then reinstalling flash and shockwave, reinstalling my video codecs, but they all have no effect. Can anyone help me with this problem, its driving me nuts! My browsers are all updated to the latest version, my flash player is version 11.7.700.169, and I am using Windows 7 pro (6.1, build 7601).

Do you notice any difference if you disable hardware acceleration?
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
What happens if you temporarily revert back to Flash Player 10.3?
How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?

Sample Flash applications that can be embedded on DMD

Does anyone have any sample flash applications that read their configuration data from an external file and that can be embeded in a DMD presentation?
And MOST IMPORTANTLY with the .fla file?
The ciscoet.com portal has plenty of samples but they are all stand alone applications no DMD embedding.
It seems we are all struggling with getting some dynamic content on the Displays things like:
     RSS Reader that does more than just the headline
     Weather Widget
     Image rotator
     Dynamic Table grid reading data from Web Service or XML file
I've got flash components working on the DMPs if I play them directly but the idea is to use them in the DMD.
Thanks for any help

We run a number of flash applications that pull external XML data.
A limitation in flash does not allow you to play flash apps unless you set up a cross-domain policy XML in your web server root that looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
This is allowing all domains access to your flash with the use of the wildcard, but you might want to modify it to be more strict.
Also, if you have a 4310 DMP, you cannot embed flash using HTML. The DMD module that you are using must call the .swf directly. Also, the 4310 supports action script 2 only, not action script 3, so if your flash app is running AS3, it will not work.
If you have the 4400, you can do anything, including embedding flash files in HTML, and you can also use AS3.
For other types of Dyanmic HTML content, a 4310 will have a hard time. For any dynamic content that needs to be displayed on a screen, we run background routines that writes data out to image format. The 4310 is perfectly capable of displaying a jpeg.
Those are the general restrictions we've run into. If you have any specific questions, put them here and I'll let you know if we've run into it before and how we handled it.
Cheers!

NAM Report Analyze -- Wan Optimization -- Application Performance Analysis Report

Hello,
Transaction Time (Client Exprerience) report does not show optimized traffic. For this graph what we expect is to show side by side the transaction time of optimized and non optimized traffic side by side to give information about the baseline and optimized application performance.
May it be that the optimization should be disabled for some time for the Wan Sites, and after some time manually reenabled in order to compare these values? This should be difficult for large deployments since manually disabling and reenabling for performance analysis time taking task.
Best Regards,

Mohammed,
It is common, in many of the Cisco Express 8.5 environments we have looked at, for the Total Incoming Calls given on a Traffic Analysis report to be a higher number than an Application Report.
The Traffic Analysis Report counts every unique sessionID (unique call) that is inbound (contact type of 1). The Application Reports do a similar thing but qualify (filter) only the records that have an application assigned.
There are simply times where inbound calls have been directed to an "agent" without having an applicaiton assigned.
The best thing the reporting user can do is to run a query on his or her database such as:
select * from ContactCallDetail where contactType=1and startDateTime > '2012-11-16 10:00:00' and startDateTime < '2012-11-16 11:00:00';
Usually when an application is not assigned to the record in the ContactCallDetail table it is because the destination type is equal to 1, which is an 'Agent' instead of a 'route point'.
So if you modify your select statement to filter by destinationType, you can quickly find the records that don't have the application assigned.
Example: select * from ContactCallDetail where contactType = 1 and destinationType = 1 and startDateTime > '2012-11-16 10:00:00 and startDateTime < 2012-11-16 11:00:00';
When you look at these records, you will see the agent that took the call from the destinationID field. The number in that field should match up with the field called 'resourceID' in a table called 'resouce';
Example: select * from resource where resouce=6011; where 6011 was the number you found in the destinationID field.
If there is still confusion about the source of the call - then talk to that agent and find out what is was.
Good Luck and let me know if you need further help.

Flash video performance poor in Firefox 3 and other newer Gecko-based browsers; fails to detect mouse movement in full-s

Regardless of configuration, I have found Flash video
performance on Firefox 3 to be severely sub-par. Numerous visual
lags occur throughout a typical Youtube video as it cannot seem to
manage to maintain a steady frame rate. When in full-screen, mouse
movement is not detected, forcing me to click in a full-screen
Vimeo video in order to display its controls when I should have
only needed to move the mouse. I was informed that the technical
explanation for this is that Flash isn't triggering MouseEvents
other than MouseEVENT.CLICK.
In my tests, this behavior also occurred in Flashplayers 9
and 10 as well as with recent versions of other browsers that also
use the Gecko rendering engine, namely Camino, Flock and Songbird,
but not in Firefox 2. I was told by a Mozilla employee that this
issue can only be solved by Adobe.
This has forced me to use the Safari browser as my only
available work-around. I implore that these issues get resolved as
quickly as possible.

guys, im exactly experience the same issue here.. any
solution guys? tks in advantage..

Font size is too small in flash applications and the "zoom" feature does not make any difference. Thanks

Zoom dosen't work in flash applications and it is crazy small and too hard to read...this does beat out the fact you can't right click using flash in google chrome...I prefer firefox, but will go back to IE if it is the only program without such major bugs
I have also reset the minimum text size in flash and that did not help the problem at all.

Can I use QuickTime in Flash application?

Hi.
I'm planning to develop a media player in Flash, and I would
like to know if it is possible to do the things I wanna do. Can I
use the QuickTime player in my Flash application to play video and
music files? If I can, can I use the original controls from
QuickTime to play, pause, stop, fast forward and rewind the
video/music? (Why I ask is because I want to be able to hear the
sound go fast forward and rewind when I press these controls, and
the only player I know that does that is QT.) I also wanna be able
to show the video and music files the user has on the computer with
icons (or pictures). Is it possible to search video and music files
in a computer (in specific folders)? Or do I have to know from the
start, when I develop the application, which files exist?
I'm really grateful for answers on my questions!

No you can't. You can't have player within a player.

You can open a folder and look for file but you can't search
user drive and get list
of it. Only File - Open - Browse, that type of dialog.

Link to Flash application from PDF not working on a Mac

I'm creating a PDF using Acrobat. I have 2 links that should open up a separate Flash application. When I try clicking on them in Adobe Reader on a Mac, I get an error message saying "could not find an application to open the file 'xxxxx'. I can navigate to the file directly in a finder window, and the Flash application opens up just fine. I also created a PC version of this same PDF that points to Flash executables, and those links work fine as well. Any ideas any one? Thanks in advance!

Under the "Library Log" where is says Flash Player Intall Manager: Unable to execute privilage task.
What does that mean?
