Slower/worse performance when publishing for deployment vs testing

When I package my app for deployment (ad hoc right now) the performace of the game drops dramatically. It's almost unplayable. In debugging it works much better. What's different about this build process? Why does it take longer to publish and give worse results?
I've tried with iphone packager and with ADT 2.6.

What about the disk layout? Do you have the same or fewer spindals? Are the disk units rating (average IO, sustained IO) the same or better? What about the total load on the machine? The network card?
There are many factors that have to be considered. Getting back to just Oracle itself:
Were any database parameters changed?
Were the statistics recalculated after the move? In fact, how was the migration accomplished: copied files vs exp/imp?
Were system statistics in use and if so were they regathered on the new machine?
Looking at each of the above may lead you to the problem.

Alpha property not working on TextField when publish for Reader 9

Hi,
I have a movie that is working fine when I publish for Reader 10, but when I publish for Reader 9, the code that assigns an alpha property to my TextFields stops working. I have a previous movie, which I probably did in CS4, that uses similar code to fade in and out TextFields. It was published for Reader 9 and works fine.Is it possible that something has changed in CS5 (note, I'm not using TLF text boxes, only dynamic TextFields)?
Here's an example of the code I'm using:
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var txtFormat1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
txtFormat1.font = "Optima";
txtFormat1.color = 0x000000;
txtFormat1.bold = false;
txtFormat1.size = 16;
txtFormat1.leading = 2;
var subtitle:TextField = new TextField();
subtitle.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
subtitle.selectable = false;
subtitle.defaultTextFormat = txtFormat1;
var fadeInSubtitle:Tween;
addChild(subtitle);
subtitle.x = stage.stageWidth / 2 - subtitle.width / 2;
subtitle.y = stage.stageHeight / 2 - subtitle.height / 2;
subtitle.alpha = 0;
subtitle.text = "What is the most important question in";
fadeInSubtitle = new Tween(subtitle,"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,3,true);

Thanks.
Just curious: Is there a reason why the alpha on the TextFields worked without embedding fonts when publishing for Flash Player 10? Does it handle text, even when it's not TLF, differently than Flash Player 9?

Dynamic text not displaying when publishing for flash 8

This dynamic text works fine when the movie is published for
flash 7, but when i export for the flash 8 player it seems to be
invisible. Is there any obvious reason for this happenning?
thanks
jon

Ok, thanks, looks like you've pointed me in the right
direction. I havent fixed it yet though. Heres where i am at:
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.embedFonts = false;
now i can see my text. of course its using a default font.
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "arial14b";
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.embedFonts = true;
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.text = "wasssup?";
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.setTextFormat = my_fmt;
this isnt working. I have added a font object to the library
and linked it for actionscript using the monkier "arial14b".
however my text is quite invisible. i have checcked, 'export in
first frame' for the font object i even tried it with this
deselected. i have deselected the embed font option on the text
feild itself. that doesnt work either (unless i dont try to set the
text format, so long as i accept a default font, its fine).
so err, help?
confused
jon
ps further to this is have discovered more about this strange
behaviour. i can set the text to a different string, provided i do
not try to embed the font in any way. if i set the font to embed, i
can have the text display with the correct font, until i change the
text. then it dissappears. also i cannot seem to affect properties
like font size by means of my TextFormat object. the textFormat
object also does not seem to affect the font of the text.
in short, when exporting for flash 8, i cannot seem to
successfully embed fonts for dynamic text. the only thigs i have
gotten to work are: static text (or a dynamic text feild with
unchanged text) with an embedded font, or dynamic text with a
default font.

Hi Colette
Are you saying that there should be .hhc, .hhk, .hhp, etc. files for each topic?
Those are project files and you would not see one for each topic. There is one (maybe more, depending on what you are doing) for each project.
One thing you may wish to try is to enable the "Use lowercase file names" option in your SSL recipe.
After you do this, generate and publish again.
Cheers... Rick

How to improve slow PowerPivot performance when adding/modifying measures, calculated columns or Relationships?

I have been using PowerPivot for a couple of months now and whilst it is extremely quick when pulling in data to populate Pivot Tables, it is extremely slow to make the following kind of changes to the Data Model:
- Add a Measure / Calculated Field
- Add a Calculated Column
- Rename a Calculated Field
- Re-name a Calculated Column
- Modify a relationship
- Change a tables properties
- Update a table
In the status bar of excel I get a very quick 'calculating', then it spends a lot of time 'reading data',
then it 'finalises' after which nothing is in the status bar but it still takes approx. 45 seconds before the program becomes responsive again. This waiting time does not change depending on the action, it is the same if I rename a
column as it is if I add a new measure.
My question is what affects performance of these actions and how do I improve it?
To give you an idea of where my data comes from, I have:
- 7 tables that feed into the Data Model directly from within the workbook which contains the data model itself. These are a combination of static tables and tables that connect to a MySQL database.
- 6 separate workbooks which contain static data that is updated manually periodically (copied and pasted from another source)
- 5 separate workbooks which contain dynamic tables that are linked to our MySQL database and update when opened.
Now I realise that this is probably where my issue is, however I have no idea how to fix it. You do not seem to be able to connect to a MySQL database directly within the PowerPivot window itself so there is no way to generate and update tables without
first creating them either in a worksheet or separate workbook (as far as I know). If I try to create all of the tables directly within the single workbook containing the Data Model I get performance and crashing issues hence why I separate tables into
individual workbooks.
Any advice on how to improve performance would be tremendously appreciated. I'm new and keen to learn, I'm aware this set-up is far from best practice.
Hardware wise I am using:
- Windows 8 64-bit
- Excel 2013 64-bit
- Intel Core i7 processor
- 6 GB Ram
Thanks,
James

Darren,
I think the point I was making is its in memory, geez... BTW what do all applications do when they run out of paged memory, if PowerPivot is using all available memory then wouldn't this force the other applications to use Virtual or essentially write
back and forth to the disks? I think Virtual memory white to disk ??, lol Also, there are parts if the architecture of Excel 2013 that when importing data into PowerPivot require memory and when working in SharePoint the PowerPivot data is cached to disk
unless recently refreshed... But this conversation isn't help the James who asked the question and as much as I would love to continue its become a little boring..
Hi James,
If you download one the ODBC MySQL Connectors
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/ and I believe yours is the first one for x64 systems and connect directly to the data you should be able to reduce the number of workbooks your opening and if you notice in the following graphic these
connection are automatically refreshed by default, the parts in red are the differences between PowerPivot 2010 and 2013
You should notice a lot of improvement especially when refreshing data please let us know how it goes...
After registering the ODBC Driver
Click Add. on the User-DSN sheet, choose the “MySQL ODBC 5.x driver”, fill in the credentials, choose a database (from the select menu) and a data source name and you’re done.
Back in Excel you go on the PowerPivot section of the ribbon and open the PowerPivot window (the green icon on the left side). In the ‘Home’ section of that window you will see a small gray cylindrical symbol (the international
symbol for “database”) which will suggest to you different data sources to choose from. Take the one where it says “ODBC”.
In the next dialog you click on create, choose the adapter, and then Ok. Back in the assistant you can check the connection and proceed.
Now you have the choice between importing the data from tables using the import assistant or Query depends on your skillset..

Ivan

Slow report performance when filter by 1 date

Post Author: poh_michelle
CA Forum: Formula
Record selection formula : {PartTran.TransDate} in {?FromDate} to {?ToDate}
Report performance was okay when i select #08/10/2007# for {?FromDate} and #10/10/2007# fro ; report displayed within 5 seconds.However, the report slow down wehn i select same date (#10/10/2007#) for both {?FromDate} and {?ToDate}; report displayed after 20 minutes.
What is the reason and what can be done to improve it.
Thanks for any advice.

Post Author: foghat
CA Forum: Formula
Not sure why selecting a single date would slow down your report. Are you sure something else wasn't/isn't going on? You could give this a try: {PartTran.TransDate} >= {?FromDate}and {PartTran.TransDate} <= {?ToDate}

IOS worse performance when other apps in background OS

Hello,
I have seen this asked before. I notice my application is not quite as smooth when other apps are alive in the background of iOS.
I am guessing it's simply running low on ram and there is nothing i can do about it? I am rendering in GPU
if i close some or all, it runs fine.

I think the problem is this: when doing parallel DML, Oracle uses direct path reads to read the data. To make sure the data being read is consistent though it needs to checkpoint blocks it is going to read. CR enqueue seems to be used to synchronize CKPT with PX slaves reading the data. It's going like this: PX slave requests CKPT to checkpoint a range of blocks it's about to read (and possibly enqueues on CR in order to be able to do so,) CKPT in turn orders DBWR to write all dirty blocks in the requested range, waits for this write to complete and signals PX slave that the blocks are consistent and can be read. Repeat as necessary. Now, with really large buffer cache and good portion of it dirty due to recent DML on source tables, busy CPUs and relatively slow writes this checkpointing might build up into a major performance inhibitor when these recently touched tables are being read in direct path mode: you have 8 cores and 8 parallel slaves, so CKPT, DBWR and pretty much all other background processes are competing with them for CPU time and I/O bandwidth (they all have the same priority, so your PX slaves can easily evict CKPT or DBWR from CPU only to immediately go back to sleep on an enqueue held by a process it just preempted.)
Things to try here:
1. do a checkpoint before running the insert and see if this makes any difference;
2. lower the degree of parallelism to 5-6;
3. If you have more than one DBWR configured - configure db_writer_processes back to 1.

Mac mini VPN headless, slow graphics performance when no monitor plugged in

I am using a Mac mini, headless, with no monitor, keyboard or mouse, via VPN from a Windows machine over a LAN. Everything works fine and setting everything up was a breeze. However, something very odd I noticed was that if my Mac mini does not have a monitor plugged in to its video output, the rendering of the graphics over the VPN is very slow. It is most noticable when hovering over the dock and activating the animations etc, though it is noticable all the time. It's so bad that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to watch a video clip or simple animation. It's as though frames are being dropped. Now, this can be immediately fixed if a monitor is plugged into the Mac mini and turned on, and the VPN to the Mac mini from my Windows machine works flawlessly and the graphics are rendered perfectly, with little to no delay or frame skipping.
I have a hunch that the Mac could be disabling some kind of graphics acceleration when the monitor is not plugged in, but I am not a Mac expert by far, this is my first Mac experience. It was purchased solely for the VPN and headless use, so if I can't get it working properly, it's a waste.
Note, I have tried several VPN client/viewer combinations and they do not change the situation.
Thanks in advance.
Message was edited by: HopkinFrog
Also, when I try to use the remote with the Mac mini (pressing the menu button), over VPN with no monitor attached to the machine, I simply get a white blank screen until I press the menu button again.

I must have been HALF ASLEEP when I wrote this.
I do not mean VPN, I mean VNC!!. Sorry for the confusion.

Flash CS 5.5 Professional requires 32-bit JVM when publishing for iOS

When trying to publish my file to AIR for iOS I get the following error:
Error: This Java instance does not support a 32-bit JVM.Please install the desired version.
I'm on Mac OS (Mavericks) and have both java 6 (which supports 32-bit) and 7 (which does not) installed. I've verified I can launch a 32-bit jvm from the terminal with "java -d32".
Interestingly, it publishes to AIR with no problems when it's not to iOS.
How can I get Flash to use the correct version of Java? I've tried setting JAVA_HOME to point to version 6 in /etc/profile with still no luck.
Thanks for reading, I will really appreciate the help!!

Ok, found the answer thanks to Christopher Caleb. Needed to upgraded CS5.5's bundled AIR from 2.6 to the current one, and it compiled with no errors. Directions are here for anyone that winds up having the same issue:

Losing Mouse "hand" over buttons when publish for Web.

Hi,
I'm new to Flash. I'm publishing a web-site and I lose the "Hand" icon for the mouse over buttons after I publish and run the HTML=>Swf files from the Browser. When I "Test the movie" from flash I see the "Hand" over buttons just fine.
Is there a publish setting that I'm missing which allows the hand to remain?
Please help.
Thanks,

Hi, Had to work yesterday.
At the moment I'm running/testing locally (which may be the problem) from a flash secure directory on my desktop. So no link sorry.
I think I need to look into setting up a test service with Yahoo or something. Any suggestions? I'm not really sure how to upload my completed website (.html and .swf files) to a service. That's a different topic/question. Any help along those lines is greatly appreciated.
Anyway, I'm using safari 5.1.7 on my IMac. and Safari 6.0.3 on my Mac Pro. and Firefox 21.0 (primarily) or Internel Explorer (rarely) on my "windows" laptop. The "Hand" works on all of these (files local to the respective computer) except the IMAC Safari 5.1.7 flash player 12.0 combination, which was my first test environment scenerio.
I'm planning to do two things.
1) Update my IMAC to Safari 6.0.
2) Set up a test area with a service provider. This in itself may resolve the issue for the Safari 5.1.7. At least I'll be testing in a "real world" environment.
So, thank you for your help with this. I think we can call it solved. If my testing on a true server shows the same results then I may shoot out another question. I think it is a nice goal to have our web site creations run on all platforms and browser comibations but is that realistic? If we test on as many combinations of the most recent software releases as we can with reasonable success what more can we do? I'd like to hear you opinion. Feel free to sent me an email.
Would you like me to open a new question/discussion regarding the help finding and uploading files to a service provider?
Thanks again,
Jeff

Javascript "out of memory" error when publishing for HTML5

I've created a Flash animation using the "HTML5 Canvas" format in Flash Pro CC. When I publish the file, I get the following cryptic error:
While executing main.jsfl, the following Javascript error(s) occurred:
At line 56 of file "Publish.jsfl":
out of memory
I have no idea what this means. I have a brand new 27" iMac running OSX Mavericks, with 16GB of memory. I tried restarting the computer and still get the error. It's a two-minute animation with quick cuts between about twenty different short little shots/scenes. The file exports fine as a .mov video file, for example, so I don't understand why it says I don't have enough memory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you get that error that quickly that sounds pretty suspect to me as well.
When you rendered your .mov did you set it to render in RAM or Disk from the settings during export? If you rendered it in RAM, something else is going on.
If there's nothing proprietary in the animation I'd be happy to try to export it on Windows to isolate it to a potential OSX issue. I have a 16GB and 32GB system with Win64 Flash CC on it I can try. Just post a link or private message a link and I'll give it a try.
Typically export issues are related to ADT limited to 128MB ram by default but it doesn't seem likely CreateJS or JSFL would utilize it. Just for fun you may want to increase the default size of the JVM at this path:
/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CC/<language>/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/jvm.ini
Close Flash, open that file, increase the value from 128 to say, 384:
-Xmx384m
Save the file, restart Flash. See if it can export.

Choppy audio when publishing for review - Captivate 4

I dig the review feature -- but, when I tried to publish a
project for review, the result plays back rather choppy.
Practically all of the audio (and there's a lot of it) is chopped
at the beginning and somewhat throughout.
Is anyone else having a similar problem?
Joe

Try following this link:

to BLOG on this issue]
There were some audio issues in the CP4 release on some
machines. In many cases it seems to be Vista machines. There is a
replacement audio driver available per the above.
If you have VISTA-64, then you must run as ADMIN and you must
register the control with regsvr.
I am still having some choppy audio issue on my XP and Vista
machines. The developers have been working on this issue and we are
[all] hopeing for a patch soon.
Hope that helps you.

Can I use Intel 815EP AGP 4X Pentium and plug in 5 Nos NI 6002 PCI counter Timer cards, instead of going for expensive PXI based solution? Hope there will be no degradation in performance - when used for constructing an Energy Meter test Bench.

I was recommended to buy NI 6002 with PXI series, 5 Nos cards($875x 5 nos), and additionally a PXI rack costing about $ 2195 + some min--- card to interface with the computer costing another $ 875. Compare this with $ 675 x 5 Nos for 5 Nos PCI based NI 6002 + some cablesa nd connectors for synchronisation.
First option is extremely expensive. But NI marketin manager will be glad that he sold more harware. But I want the truth. Why can't Intel 815 Pentium board be used?

I am addressing the question if using PCI-6602s instead of using PXI-6602s will affect the performance, and the answer is NO. 6602 counter/timer devices comes in two different form factors, PXI/Compac PCI and PCI. The accuracy and performance is the same for both the PXI and PCI 6602s. However, using PXI solution will allow users an easier time with synchronization since that is the provided in the backplane of the PXI chassis. Additionally, if you ever need a higher accuracy solution you can add the 6608 device which has 75 parts per billion ppb vs 50 ppm of the 6602 devices. With 6608 plugged in the second slot of the PXI chassis (the one next to the controller), the high accuracy timebase is automatically shared acrossed the backplane of the PXI chassis which mean
s that other 6602 devices in the chassis will share the same accuracy of the 6608. If the difference in the accuracy is not a concern and you are currently not ready to invest in the PXI platform, then you can go with the PCI 6602 devices.

Unwanted margins when publishing for ios

I'm using flash CC to create an app for iOS. In flash CC I start a new "air for iOS" file.
I get a stage of 640x960. The stage is empty and there's no code. I publish, check it out on the iPhone (5) and I get margins on the top and bottom. 1 cm each. It simply won't cover the whole screen.
I tick the full screen box in the settings -> still get the margins.
I add: stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; -> still get the margings.
I change the stage's size to various sizes -> all the same.
What am I missing? how do I make these margins disappear?
(I just want to see my empty stage covering the whole iPhone5's screen)

it's in the first and only frame :
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_BORDER;
thanks
