Hardware for Flash Presentations/Kiosks?

Hi folks,
Just wondering if anyone has an overview of what Flash uses
regarding system resources. Does it rely more on system memory than
graphics card memory? Does having dedicated graphics memory even
help? Is it more CPU or GPU intensive? I sure it depends on what
you're doing
with Flash, so let's assume high quality Kiosk/Presentation
type things, rather than action games. High on the pretty pretty
and low on audio/interactivity. How does adding bitmaps or FLV into
the picture change things?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated, as we're about to buy
our next generation of trade show laptops. Basically I want to know
if I should invest more in memroy, CPU, or dedicated graphics...
Thanks,
SyddyS

Afraid there is not much controversy to it :)
Flash is pretty limited and well exposed with all its flows
in past many years.
My specialty is off line content, have been doing it for over
a decade, CD, DVD,
kiosk and devices.
And it work exactly as the other two guys explain.
I could only add that is good to split content into multiple
files so you don't load
one large file with all of it at once. If you have 20 sound
tracks, keep them as mp3
and load them when needed. If you have video, FLV, do not go
to big on the screen with it.
Over all, regardless how optimize is the player 9, the bigger
animation covering larger
screen and the more happening on the screen in the same time,
the more CPU it takes.
Director sometimes could be much better choice if you work is
video and bitmaps heavy.
Hardware, anything new but not top notch will be. As long as
you don't have too many
things going on, an average cpu will handle your flash very
well.

  • Preloader for flash presentations?

    Hi all,
    I need (badly) to add a preloader to a flash presentation.
    But googling around I didn't found a solution to this.
    I can't believe that you can't do this in an easy way.
    I can't re-create the slide presentation from scratch using the flash timeline (it would take ages).
    Is there a solution to this?
    TIA

    See if this helps...

  • Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

    I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
    Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
    When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a  small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
    My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
    We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.

    Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
    Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
    I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
    I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
    Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
    We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
    If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
    Thanks,

  • Student needing URGENT help with flash presentation...

    I am working on a flash presentation with galleries buttons ...basically the full lot. The presentation brief is for a Kiosk - computer in a museum, which when its not being used will go onto a screensaver.
    So my question is ...after ive done the screensaver, how to i actually get it into my main presentation? I've looked ALL over the internet for tutorials and found nothing. Any help that anyone can give will be great -
    MY HAND IN ON FRIDAY .......
    Thanks xDeex

    presumably there will be some user input (like a screen touch) that will trigger your presentation's start.  you will create a listener for that input and when detected stop/remove your screensaver and start/add your presentation.
    typically you would use a timer of some sort to detect a lack of user activity for some minimum duration that would trigger your presentation to stop and the screensaver to be re-started.

  • "the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

    I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
    I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe).  and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered".  Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems.  For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins.  I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards.  However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager.  Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background.  Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
    For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost  identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various  iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final  editions of version 9).
    First I tried the standard support here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
    Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open).  This did not work.  I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat".  This didn't work either.  However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
    A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
    I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
    For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
    I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account.  If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
    I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
    http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
    This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key.  This confirmed that this was the problem.  I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry.  Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself.  I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
    The solution:
    Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key.  I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid.  Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
    1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe").  You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
    2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
    Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
    3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
    4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add".  Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
    5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
    6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top.  You will see that their is no "Current Owner".  This is what we will now fix.
    7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators).  Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects".  Then click Ok.  You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
    8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
    9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions).  To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more.  If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it).  In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
    Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem.  Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer.  Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

    They will stay on the screen.  However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users.  It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error.  This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
    I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others.  Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista).  If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
    It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon".  For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot.  First of all to just show Registry events.  Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable.  The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results.  And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess.   When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
    Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable.  e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

  • Multiple crashes fixed by turning off hardware and Flash acceleration; very slow now. Takes five seconds to exit and still listed as a running process

    A workaround was suggested by a member of the community to turn off both hardware and Flash acceleration. It worked fine (no crashes since), but runs very slowly. In particular, takes five seconds to exit and is often still listed as a running process. Very slow in connecting to Web pages, and very slow loading them because of the graphics. Very slow in loading video. I expected slower responses, but this is REALLY slow. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 and an Nvidia GE Force 7800 graphics card with all the drivers updated and the plugins for Firefox mostly set on "ask to activate". Should I expect this much reduction in performance when the workaround I mentioned was put into place? If so, it's half a loaf at best. The only thing questionable is that I have two Youtube downloaders that I am trying, but I made the assumption that these were only applied when you downloaded something from Youtube.

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes": do not clear the Cookies
    If you clear cookies then Firefox will also try to remove cookies created by plugins and that requires to start plugin-container processes that can slow down closing Firefox.
    Instead let the cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies.

  • Possible to Stream a Flash Presentation?

    Hi all! I work for a university and we have some faculty that
    are creating some huge flash presentations. I know that flash is
    remarkably fast when it comes to downloading, but with these large
    presentations it's still taking some time. Is it possible to
    stream a flash presentation? Compress the audio? Any other
    ideas?

    Never seen TGotoFrame, but there is GotoFrame() and Play(),
    which has worked
    well for me. Here's a function I've used to change videos in
    a Flash movie
    from image buttons in the HTML:
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    function changeVideo(xname){
    if(window.brtv){
    window.document["brtv"].SetVariable("theXML", xname);
    window.document["brtv"].GotoFrame(0);
    window.document["brtv"].Play();
    if(document.brtv){
    document.brtv.SetVariable("theXML", xname);
    document.brtv.GotoFrame(0);
    document.brtv.Play();
    //-->
    </SCRIPT>
    Where brtv is the name of the div containing the movie.

  • Anyone familiar with Flash Presentations?

    Hi.
    I continue to have problems playing movieclips on certain
    slides of a Flash Presentation.
    If anyone has *reasonable* experience with Flash
    presentations please let me know. You might be familiar with the
    problem, or have suggestions.
    Thanks in advance,
    K

    chez Lou,
    > 1. Would I be better off just placing everything on the
    main
    > timeline, and saving the use of mc for animations that
    can play
    > continously (for instance animations that "accent" the
    content
    > of the slide, vs those used to put the content
    together)?
    Well, that would certainly be one approach, but then you
    lose out on the
    benefit of nested movie clips, not the least of which is
    avoidance of
    timeline sprawl. I played a bit more with the Slide API this
    morning. I
    can see what's going on. Under the hood, each slide is a
    movie clip, and
    they all exist at once, so if you have nested animation on
    any slide ...
    they all start playing even on slide 1, and might in fact
    have played
    through by the time you hit slide 5.
    > 2. Do you know of a way to have an animation stop on the
    last
    > frame, yet replay on slide re-entry?
    Here's what I came up with. Let's assume you have two
    buttons on the
    root presentation slide. By default, Flash gives you a root
    slide named
    "presentation" and a child slide named "slide1". In my
    experiment, I added
    a Next and Previous button to "presentation" and wired them
    up like this:
    btnNext.onRelease = function():Void {
    this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
    btnPrev.onRelease = function():Void {
    this._parent.currentSlide.gotoPreviousSlide();
    This uses the button event handling approach I prefer,
    personally, over
    on() and onClipEvent() -- I'm not sure which approach you're
    using. In this
    approach, the code codes into a keyframe, typically a
    dedicated scripts
    layer, rather than attached to the object itself. The buttons
    have the
    instance names btnNext and btnPrev. A function is assigned to
    the
    Button.onRelease event of each button instance, and the
    functions call
    either Slide.gotoNextSlide() or Slide.gotoPreviousSlide() as
    appropriate.
    In order to target the relevant Slide instance, I use the
    Slide.currentSlide
    property, which I reference via the expression this._parent.
    Let me explain that, real quick. In the above code, the word
    "this"
    refers to the corresponding button instance itself -- in
    btnNext's onRelease
    handler, "this" refers to btnNext. btnNext -- the button
    symbol -- is, by
    nature, an instance of the Button class. Consulting the
    Button class in the
    ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference, I see that all button
    instances have a
    Button._parent property, which points to the object that
    contains the
    button. Cool. Therefore, from a button's point of view,
    this._parent
    refers to the timeline that contains the button. Normally,
    such a reference
    points to a MovieClip instance (which is what timelines are;
    they're movie
    clips). That's the case here, too, but thanks to the way
    object-oriented
    programming works, and because we're inside a Slide
    presentation, the parent
    movie clip of this button is also an instance of the Slide
    class.
    Look up "Slide class" in the Components Language Reference,
    and you'll
    see the full pedigree. Any instance of Slide has the
    following family tree:
    MovieClip > UIObject > UIComponent > View >
    Loader > Screen > Slide. Slides
    *are* movie clips, but they're more than that. They're also
    UIObjects,
    which are objects that contain all the functionality of movie
    clips, and
    then some. They're also UIComponents, which addes even more
    functionality,
    and so on ... all the way through Slide. One of the
    properties of the Slide
    class is Slide.currentSlide. Bingo!
    So ... this._parent (in this context) refers to a Slide
    instance, which
    means this._parent.currentSlide refers to the currently
    showing slide, which
    is obviously also a Slide instance. For that reason, we can
    still invoke
    Slide class methods on the reference, which is why something
    like
    this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide() works.
    Forgive me, by the way, if you already understand all of
    this. Forum
    replies are searchable, and who knows ... in the future, the
    explanation has
    the potential to help someone else, too. :)
    Okay, so now the issue is, we want each current slide to run
    through any
    nested movie clips it may have, regardless of their instance
    names, and tell
    each movie clip to start again from frame 1 of its own
    timeline. Amend the
    above code to look like this:
    import mx.screens.Slide;
    btnNext.onRelease = function():Void {
    this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
    var slide:Slide = this._parent.currentSlide;
    for (var prop:String in slide) {
    if (typeof(slide[prop] == "movieclip")) {
    slide[prop].gotoAndPlay(1);
    btnPrev.onRelease = function():Void {
    this._parent.currentSlide.gotoPreviousSlide();
    var slide:Slide = this._parent.currentSlide;
    for (var prop:String in slide) {
    if (typeof(slide[prop] == "movieclip")) {
    slide[prop].gotoAndPlay(1);
    The import statement allows us to reference Slide as a
    datatype, which
    happens just below the line in each event handler that was
    already there.
    To save a few keystrokes (basically, to make the code easier
    to read), we're
    creating a temporary variable, slide, and setting it to the
    same
    this._parent.currentSlide expression we already used. Once
    gotoNextSlide()
    or gotoPreviousSlide() is called, the value of
    this._parent.currentSlide
    changes, because now a *new* slide is the current slide. It's
    the new slide
    we're interested in. Using the variable slide as a kind of
    shorthand, we
    use a for..in loop to run through all the properties of the
    current slide.
    If the datatype of a given propery is a movie clip, we tell
    it to go to
    frame 1 of its own timeline and start playing.
    What I've spelled out may or may not fit, exactly, with your
    current
    circumstance, but that's why I spent a bit of time explaining
    the mechanics
    of it. I hope that steers you in a useful direction. :)

  • External .swf into a flash presentation

    Hey guys and girls!
    I got a question here. I made a small flash intro 2 weeks ago
    and saved it into a .swf. Now I am doing a flash presentation with
    many slides for a client and I want to put the intro into the first
    slide. I am doing a symbol/movie clip and after the movie is
    loaded, it does not switch slides...
    Thanks a lot,
    Antoine

    I think this is what you're looking for...
    stop();
    waitI=setInterval(waitF,5000); // <- will wait for 5000
    milliseconds
    function waitF(){
    clearInterval(waitI);
    _root.gotoAndPlay("specificFrameLabel");
    could be completely wrong though.

  • WS-C2960X-48LPS-L - "Hardware is not present"

    I have a 2960 stack with 3 switch members.  If I show an interface summary I can see al switches, but none of the ports on the 3rd switch show active.  If I do a show interface on any of those interfaces I see "Hardware is not present."

    The show switch detail looks like it shows the problem.  The part I don't understand is how my clients are getting connected, getting an address from DHCP (Microsoft, not local), and is pingable from the switch.
    I have checked the stacking cables and they seem firmly installed and I have a reload planned for lunchtime.

  • What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?

    Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3 on July 9. Downloads are no longer available anywhere that I can find. Adobe says 11.7 is now the "extended release" version. Since 10.3 has been the only solution when the latest Flash Player version won't work with Firefox, what do we do now? I have tested every Flash Player release after 10.3, and each starts crashing repeatedly after 24 hours. Each time, retreat to 10.3 was the only solution. The other suggestions in Firefox help don't work. I uninstalled 10.3 a few days ago to test 11.8 - the latest. It doesn't work with Firefox. Now I could only install 11.7. It hasn't failed yet, but it probably will tomorrow.
    If Flash Player 11.8 and 11.7 don't work, and 10.3 is unavailable, what can we do?

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Please help! Screen Capture resolution for Flash

    Hi,
    When I screen capture [using RoBo ScreenCapture] either web
    pages off the Net, or dialog boxes of programs [I'm using Flash for
    a presentation instead of PP] the images are pixelated or fuzzy or
    well, not good enough.
    Let me explain In using RoBo, I make the capture at the
    highest Jpeg resolution possible. When I bring the jpeg into Flash
    [import directly into Library] and bring on the stage, I have to
    resize the image because it is too big for the stage [being
    800X600]. The projector I will be using for the presentation is
    800X600.so I set the stage for that.
    When I publish the file and review it [setting my monitor to
    800X600] the images look terrible.
    Maybe I should explain that when I do the screen captures at
    first, my monitor is set at 1600X1200.
    Should I set it at 800X600 when doing the captures first? I
    mean, does this affect the final output of the resolution of the
    jpg's when they are placed in Flash after the capture and import
    into the Library?
    I have had to make captures of web pages, so I have my
    monitor set at 1600X1200 normally so I can get the most real estate
    on the screen as possible. I make the screen captures using that
    monitor setting. But I have my Flash movie stage set at 800X600.
    My questions are:
    1. Should I do the captures with the monitor set at 800X600
    if the Flash stage is 800X600? If so, why?
    2. If the projector resolution is 800X600, can I set my Flash
    stage at a higher size [resolution], say 1024X768? Will that
    actually affect the resolution when the Flash movie is projected on
    a projector with an 800X600 resolution if the Flash movie stage is
    larger?
    3. What affects the final resolution output of the BMP images
    [jpeg's] in Flash for a presentation like I am doing?
    4. What size should I capture the images at so I don't have
    to resize them in Flash?
    WHAH! I just want this presentation to be successful. It's a
    training session on educating folks on computer virus
    prevention/protection from and ID theft, something this world is in
    dire need of!
    Thanks in advance form anyone who can help me,
    Ellen

    A screen capture captures whatever number of pixels you are
    grabbing. If
    your monitor is 1600x1200 and you capture the entire screen,
    then the
    resolution you have captures is 1600x1200.
    Then two things are happening:
    1) you are making it a JPG, which is lossy compresion
    2) you are shrinking it to 800 x 600.
    To shrink it, Flash has to 'throw away' 75% of the pixels of
    the original.
    So, no matter what, you are ending up with a lower resolution
    image than
    what you started with.
    > 1. Should I do the captures with the monitor set at
    800X600 if the Flash

    That would make sense. Why? You can only show 800x600 pixels
    in your final
    presentation. What's the point of capturing more than that?

    If the images are that resolution, then yes, if you increase
    the size of the
    flash file, you should be able to see all of the pixels at
    that particular
    resolution.
    > 3. What affects the final resolution output of the BMP
    images [jpeg's] in
    > Flash for a presentation like I am doing?
    As long as you bring the images in at 100%, the available
    resolution of the
    images shouldn't change at all.
    > 4. What size should I capture the images at so I don't
    have to resize them
    > in
    > Flash?
    'Actual' size.

    I'm not sure what RoBo is, but have you considered using a
    product like
    RoboDemo for this type of thing? That should handle
    everything for you.
