Flash plays slow!

I need help. I have the frame rate set at 12fps but when I
play it it moves extremely slow like at 1.8fps. does anyone know
wha the problem is?

yes - absolutely you need to compromise - but exactly how is
hard to say without seeing the images
in question, the level of animation, etc...kinda flying blind
here - but basically when it comes to
animating very large imported images in flash, you simply
cannot avoid poor playback performance
because flash was never designed to render on the fly
something so processor intensive - that's the
bottom line.
You need to make your images smaller (width and height) and
find the balance between playback
performance and animation quality and image size - beyond
that, it is up to you.
can you provide a URL? I will take a look - i animate with
bitmaps all the time with 24fps and no
issues.
what kind of processor are you testing on?

is there any alternative around this or do I have to do some
comprimising on the file sizes in order for this to work?

Flash playing slow in Adobe Connect 8 Content

We are being upgraded to Adobe Connect 8 next week. WE have a temporary Adobe Connect 8 and playing with it we find that when we load a flash file intro a Content area, it gives us the standard URL but if you try to play the video it just does not stream well as in our previous Adobe Connect.
So, any tips---I don't see any options to make the streaming better----and we have the fastest lightning speed connection.
Any suggestions appreciated.
best, Ted

Flash file into captivate playing slow first time

Hi.
I am very new to flash but have been using Captivate for
awhile now. I am trying to create an animation in flash of a book
flipping pages. I have 9 jpg images of the various stages of the
book flipping. When I import the first image into Flash it asks if
I want to include the entire series of images. I said yes to this
and now I am stuck. When I test the movie in Flash it plays slow
once and then really fast after that.
I saved it and imported it into a captivate project and the
same thing is happening. It plays really slow and choppy. If I
navigate away from the page and then come back to it, it plays
really fast (faster than I'd like but I'd prefer that to slow)
Any help. I searched on the Flash forum and found someone
else with this issue but they never got a response.
Any suggestions would be great. I am sure I am missing a step
here but I just can't figure out what it is.
Thanks,
Kim

When you say you play it, in either Captivate or Flash, do
you mean
locally or that you upload it somewhere and play it back
through a web
browser from that website location?
If the former, then I'm not sure. If the latter, sounds like
the images
are Very Large and it's taking a while for them to download
in order to
play...but once they're downloaded and 'cached', the file
plays quickly.
How large are your published SWFs? What format are your
images? What DPI?

Video imported from Premiere plays slower in Flash

I have tried a variety of option including using a shorter
clip and embedding the video upon import, stretching the audio in
soundbooth and re-importing seperately, but it either does not work
or is not satisfactory for my needs. Ultimately, this video will be
playing on a loop on a website. How do I keep the video from
playing slower in flash than it does in Premiere? I'm an expert in
Premiere but I'm sorta just starting in Flash.
I should add that the website it will be on requires .swf
format

Animation Playing Slow - Why?

Captivate 4
Flash CS4
AS2
30FPS
Goodness...
I don't know why I keep coming back to Captivate for my E-Learning needs... I just... I dunno - perhaps I hope this time around will be a miracle, or perhaps it's because I'm not a fan of anything else on the market...
anyhow...
Besides my issues with anti-aliasing in transparent captions... and the quiz slides not working correctly... and captions disappearing... *sigh*...
I'm having an issue with my custom animations. I've created some custom animations in Flash CS4 - nothing fancy - just some stuff sliding around, etc, lasting about... 4 seconds total maybe? I've also created a few interactive stuff, nothing too massive, just click a button to show the next text... okay... great... except - it plays SLOW when previewed/published from my captivate 4 project.
My captivate project consists of about 120 slides (yes yes, I know, it's big - I'm convincing them to cut back) - and the .swf published is around 3MB...
I have my custom animations in flash set to 30fps - and I have my Captivate 4 project set to 30 fps - so that's all groovy, I know that's not the problem...
when I publish, and play JUST the raw .swf - I would say it's reduced to about... 18-20fps on the animations, and actually, the entire project itself... if I try to play it from a published .PDF - forget about it - it slows down easily to about 10 fps - rendering the entire project useless - and HTML is somewhere in between those two...
Any idea why?? I went through my entire project, removing one animation at a time, publishing, and then putting it back in and removing another one - and this did not speed things up at all - so I'm pretty sure it's not a broken script anywhere in one of my animations (I have seen this happen in other projects before)...
Does anyone have any idea what I could look at as far as trying to figure something out?? I would try using a pre-loader, but forget it, it doesn't work either... add that to my list of crap that doesn't work in this program...
I'm stumped... is it just the file size in general?? the last project I worked on was 175 slides, and the same ratio of animations to slides - and I didn't have this problem...
Anybody come across something like this? Any possible solutions out there??
Thank you

Okay, fixed my problem.
The issue was being caused by the number of questions I had in the knowledge check at the end of the package.
I had 10 question pools, each with (on average) about 6 questions in it. Each question slide had an image on it of some description. I had increased the number of question pools from 6 to 10 with a load more questions. Funnily enough, the Flash slowdown occurred after that update.
What I've done now is completely remove the question pools and random question slides from the Captivate e-learning package and placed them in their own package - it just means the user will have to finish the e-learning package, then go on to start the separate knowledge check.
The speed issues have been cleared up - everything is running at full (proper) speed again!

Flash player slow in browsers

I use Firefox 3, but the same applies for my Safari browser. Flash players always play very slowly, for no reason whatsoever. It doesn't matter the site, they are all maybe twice as slow as other computers.

Sorry for such a late response; I'm not even sure if you guys will get this.
1. I fixed the problem. I had "Open using Rosetta" checked in the info for both Firefox and Safari. I unchecked it and now it's fixed.
2. What I meant in that sentence was that no matter what site I was on, flash embedded objects played slower than any other computer would play them.
Again, sorry for the response, but I got it fixed. Thanks for the replies!

Firefox mobile 6 is still not support flash playing?

Waiting for several months, ff6 mobile is still not support flash playing...have a bit disappointed!

Adobe and Google made several non standard changes to the standard plugin system. This has required the engineers working on Firefox mobile to try and understand the changes without any guidance from Adobe or Google. This takes a lot of effort and is not trival.

Flash Is Slow/Crashes? How can I OVERCLOCK Flash?

This is clearly not an isolated problem as multiple similar inquiries have already been made on this topic:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5577432#5577432
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/933530
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3722411#3722411
Moreover, you always hear users of Flash jokingly (and sometimes not so jokingly) complain about how Flash is slow and/or crashes all the time.
While sometimes this is attributable to memory and CPU of the computer, often times it's not.
This is one of those times it's NOT.
(Using Adobe CS6 Flashx64 in WIndows 8; working on relatively large animation file.
1.Have set priortiy as high as possibly can (Realtime),
2.Set Publish Cache preferences to:
        4600MB for Disk cache size limit
        4600MB for Memory-cache size limit, and
        4600MB for Maximum size for memory cache entry).
   (yes, I'm serious about the whole overclocking thing)
However, Flash sometimes slows down/crash when importing huge symbol from one flash file to another, during playback, for .swf creation, etc.
My CPU remains at an annoying low of 21% used and high of 3.0/7.9 GB during Flash's most intense (aka slow) moments, so it can't be due to that, I think?
As side, I'd like to try to make this thread the default go-to for people who are tired of Flash crashing and just want to set everything up so that if Flash is laggy and crashes, it will only be because of computer limits (not enough RAM or CPU) as opposed to any other junk (like arbitrary Cache limits on program or file or something, .fla is crazy big).
So any and all Flash optimization tips (including changing Windows settings) welcome!

this is from a chapter on optimizing flash performance in: http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Game-Development-Social-Mobile/dp/1435460200/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF 8&qid=1376401848&sr=8-1&keywords=gladstien
Easiest to Hardest to Implement
Do not use Filters.
Always use reverse for-loops and avoid do-loops and avoid while-loops.
Explicitly stop Timers to ready them for gc (garbage collection).
Use weak event listeners and remove listeners.
Strictly type variables whenever possible.
Explicitly disable mouse interactivity when mouse interactivity not needed.
Replace dispatchEvents with callback functions whenever possible.
Stop Sounds to enable Sounds and SoundChannels to be gc'd.
Use the most basic DisplayObject needed.
Always use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix with air apps (i.e., mobile devices).
Reuse Objects whenever possible.
Event.ENTER_FRAME loops: Use different listeners and different listener functions applied to as few DisplayObjects as possible.
Pool Objects instead of creating and gc'ing Objects.
Use partial blitting.
Use stage blitting.
Use Stage3D.
Greatest to Least Benefit
Use stage blitting (if there is enough system memory).
Use Stage3D.
Use partial blitting.
Use cacheAsBitmap and cacheAsBitmapMatrix with mobile devices.
Explicitly disable mouse interactivity when mouse interactivity not needed.
Do not use Filters.

Hiya, Mike,
It's pretty tough to work through pasted-in code. If you can, please upload a page to a server, so we can see your pages in context. We'll be able to download it and look at it.
That said, you can do this: Find the beginning of an editable region in Code View. It will look like this:

Click anywhere in that tag, between the opening bracket and the closing bracket.
Then, on the vertical toolbar on the left side of the Code window, click on the "Collapse Full Tag" button. It is the one with two arrows pointing at each other. This will collapse that entire editable region. Then click the button with the two arrows pointing away from each other. That will re-open the editable region, but will highlight it.
If you have nested regions, you will find the other inside one of the editable regions. If you copy the <!-- InstanceBeginEditable and do a search on it in that document, you will find the nested region.

Classic 160 plays slow on dock

Got 160G classic some 8 months old. Problem is when playing on my Pro-Ject Dck Box S it plays slow. Playes fine on head phones or via input in car. Now on second Dock Box and same prob. A friend suggested this is a formating issue????
Please help, driving me nuts.

Hi
Plays music slow. Have checked by comparing against CD and switching betwwen the 2.
Soon as it's off the Dock it plays fine.
Dock Box has digital and analog outputs and both have the same result with music playing slow.
Have asked the hi fi dealer were Dock was purchased for an explination from the manufacturer but not holding my breath.
Will be returning Dock Box and wait for Arcam's release of the updated IR Dock with digital output I think but will be testing in shop first.

Time Capsule flashes amber (slow) and not being picked up by Airport Utility; cannot set up Time Capsule

Airport Time Capsule purchased in Canada, trying to set up in home in Mexico. Connected to isp via ethernet cable, tried resets and power off/on on both TC and isp modem. TC flashes amber (slow), and is not picked up by Airport Utility on Macbook or iPad. Do I have a faulty TC that has to be returned? Wireless signal from provider is strong and reliable for last 5 yrs. Please help

Got it figured :-) Unable to pick up TC via Airport Utility on MacBook Pro or iPad. Used iPad via Settings-WiFi to pick up TC and enter edit functions. Once WAN deselected, Bridge selected, DHCP selected got the steady green light on the TC. Airport utility now picks up the TC no problem on both iPad and Macbook. System now fully operational.
