[Stage3D] Flash Player 11 Performance Issue

Hey people!
I’m currently writing my dissertation for my Bachelor of Arts or Science.
For this dissertation I compare Flash with Unity with a performance test. I used Away3D for the Flash applications and draw graphs.
Now I have results which are very strange.
Please take a look at the embed picture.
There you can see Unity make an smooth graph, while the Flash-Graph appears in a stairway.
Did anyone know why this happens? Is this why Flash clear the temporary RAM only if the limit reached?!
I need this for my analysis. So if anyone have an idea, please tell me.
It's not important that in this graph, Unity is better. After this Graph I find some things I have to equal. So it's just about this "stairway".
My application works as follows:
Every 0,5 seconds I’m adding an Object (992 Polys or 5288 Polys..depends on the object i choose for the test) on the stage.
I automaticly add 17 in a horizontal row and 7 in a vertical row.
After this I multiply my z-coordinate so I can add as many objects in depth.
Every 25 objects I write the FPS and the object-count in the database to create these graphs.
I also append an defuse shader to the Objects an rotate them around the y-Axis to higher the activity of my processor and graphic card.
Further Information:
The only other things on my Stage are the camera-object and a pointlight.
The pointlight and the far clippingplane have an depth of 10.000 to render objects if there are more than 3000 on the stage.
I’ve activated mipmapping and 2x Antialaising.
Batchrendering is deactivated in Flash and in Unity.
If anyone can help me: THANKS!!!

Videocard performance is often limited by bottlenecks. When you exceed the available resources in any particular step of the priceline you suddenly go from what was one pass to two, and subsuquently you see performance dropoffs in cliffs rather than gradual decline.
That said, mismanagment of resource allocation is probably the cause. If you send me the swf I can give you detailed perfomance information and identify the culprit. (I'd like to know, too =)

Poor Flash Player Performance in Mozzilla Firefox

Hello!
I have recently noticed that Adobe Flash Player has very bad performance in Mozzilla Firefox. The most common issue is with 4K YouTube videos. I have a GTX 770 graphics card, so there should not be any problem with these videos, and there is not any problem in other browsers. But for some reason, I get very low framerates in Firefox while watching 4K videos. I tried to reinstall Flash Player, but it did not help me. I have the latest stable Nvidia drivers.
What can cause the bad performance?

In all my systems i put that mms.cfg file; regardless of whether crappy flash thinks my GPU is capable or not!

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.

Is Vista and Flash CS3 performance issue solved?

My performances in Flash CS3 are very poor. When I try to
scroll up-down/left-right I got slideshow. When move the
framecursor to view the frames I also get slideshow. Searched
google, do the compatibility settings and the only batter thing I
get is smoother scrolling of the code. Nothing more. Is this
solved?
Im running C2Duo with 4gb 800 ram with Vista x64.
Should I go back to Flash 8?

I have an old AlBook G4 1.67 2GB and I actually think CS3
works great. There is a huge thread about this very issue going on
at the moment so you might want to take a look there. I never had
Flash 8, but MX04 also ran just fine on my laptop.
As far as player performance, it has sped up a lot with AS3
and Flash plugin 9. (Even if you publish AS2 for Flash 9!). I Don't
know if there is true parity between the systems, but it is
certainly faster.
I've always thought it a good idea to develop on a Mac. If
you can make your animations look smooth and good playing back in
the Mac version of the player then you know they will look good
across the board. I can't tell you how many sites (thankfully fewer
these days) where I go and everything just crawls and chugs along.
It is usually due to over high frame rates and excess transparency
or animated raster images. (And I'm talking about the kind that
even if it did move smoothly it wouldn't be worth it!)

Adobe Flash Player Audio Issue

I use Chrome, Safari, Mizolla firefox, and IE on my computer. The currrent version of Adobe Flash Player is loaded on to all of them. It has operated without problems. Then suddenly the audio has stopped working. Why would this happen, and how do I get the audio to resume?

So far as I know (not that I know much!) there wouldn't be
anything in the
new Flash beta player to fix this. You will get better
results, however, if
you reduce the quality settings for your published files.
Doing so should
reduce the published file size, making better use of limited
network
resources.

Macbook Pro Retina Display and Flash Player major issues

Hello,
Apple has recently released Macbook Pro's with Retina displays.
I have tested my Flash application on the new laptop, and this is what I observe:
1. My Flex SDK Flash application looks blurry and strange when I try to check it out from any Macbook Pro with Retina display, while looking sharp and OK from all other machines.
On this screenshot you can sort of see the issue:
http://i.imgur.com/UXHd4.png
(Expand the image to the actual size, and compare the Flex SDK components with browser labels. Browser labels look crisp, Flex SDK components look a little bit blurry.)
2. It is no longer possible to click on anything in Flash Player Dialogs, such as:
* Flash Player Settings
* Webcam or microphone allow/deny dialog
* All other dialogs (peer-to-peer access, etc)
This issue makes it impossible to use video chat applications on Macbook Pro Retina's because users can't click allow/deny when requested for audio/video access.
I have submitted reports about this to Adobe BugBase here:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3224151
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3224147
Please fix these issues.
Andrey

@nvhdab - If you haven't already, can you please add a bug on your issue over at bugbase.adobe.com If it's the same as 3224151 then it sounds like it's going to be fixed soon. I'm trying to find out exactly when, but it might be in the 11.7 release now (4/2/2013 - Flash Player 11.7.700.170 Beta)
@scottclayton - I'm going to ask the team to revisit the click issue. I don't have a retina display so I can't confirm the issue. Thank you though for putting up the workaround.

Hi Fireseed,
Please do the following:
Ensure you have the latest version installed:
Launch Firefox and go to Adobe - Flash Player
There is a widget on the page that lists the version installed, and a table listing the latest versions for each OS and browser.If you don't have the latest version, Firefox will block Flash from displaying.
If it is installed, and you have the latest version, ensure Flash is enabled:
Launch Firefox and go to https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-firefox.html
Follow instructions for verifying Flash Player is enabled
If it is installed, and you have the latest version, Ensure JavaScript is enabled: JavaScript settings and preferences for interactive web pages | Firefox Help

Why Flash player performance is better than Player comes with Adobe air ?

I built an Adobe Air application that played Video and working awesome on PC. now when i tried to start working on Tablet Version, What I found is
1. When i played 1 MB video file from Local , Audio and Video are not in sync and very disturbing. (not able to play a file more tha 2 Mb)
I created only video player using OSMF in the app. there is nothing else that can hamper the performace.
2. When i played same video using Web based Flex Application. It works perfectly
3. I tried with StageWebView in Adobe air and Results are equivelent to Web Version.
I am using Adobe Air 3.1 which is shipped with Flash Player 11.1, Then where things went Wrong.
Why I can't get the same performance in Air App?
IS AIR THE RIGHT CHOICE TO BUILD MOBILE APP?
IS THAT POSSIBLE TO GET NATIVE PLAYER/WEB VERSION LIKE PERFOMANCE (OR CLOSED TO) USING ADOBE AIR?
In addition,
I tried to read about encoding and other white papers. But basic thing that troubled me is, If Web Version is fine then why Air is not able to give the same performance.
Hardware configuration : 1G processer,
OS : Android 4.0.3
Thank you in advance.

What games are you trying? Which browser do you use and have you tried an alternative browser to see if they are also impacted?

Adobe Flash player - Gameranger Issue

Hello!
I have an issue with Gameranger (a program simillar to steam). Please take some time and help me somehow, because I have absolutely no idea what more can I do, trying to solve it. I tried almost everything (reinstalling...) googled for it, found nothing useful. So it seems it is more serious and uncommon issue.
I have been using Gameranger since 2011. I remeber that I uninstalled it because I thought I am not goin to use it anymore. But few months ago I installed it again. It does not woek on my computer since than.
The problem is, I cant run Gameranger. When I launch it, it says:
Gameranger: Flash Player Needs Updating.
Your adobe Flash player web plug-in is Version 1 and needs to
be updated to the latest version for security fixes.
Download and run the update from Adobe´s site.
So when I click OK I am automaticly transferd to Adobe´s Flash Player download site where I follow the instructions and install it.
So far, so good. But the problem is that nothing happens after installing proces. The same massage again. And I tried to reinstall Gameranger, reinstall Adobe Flash with Mozila Firefox and Internet Explorer but in vain. It happens the sime and it really angers me. Everything works fine in both browsers, but with Gameranger Adobe Flash Player is obviously not recognised.
I googled for it but nothing really useful. That is the only solution that I thought it is useful:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090214162616AAUg8bI
It mentions that GR needs Adobe Active-X and also Adobe Flash Playerto to be installed with IE. So i did. NO DIFFERENCE!? Same stupid massage again: Flash player needs updating, Flash Player needs updating... Arrgh ...You have no idea how meany times i have reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash player.
So please help me bacuse I am running out of ideas, what can I do in purpose of solving this annoying problem. I would also like to say that I am not some kind of experts for these things (I had no problem with Adobe Flash Player in past) and maybe there is just a little trick I dont know, or maybe I am doing something work.
Thank you!

That's a 100% a GR problem. Here's what it is.
GR, like a lot of websites, uses a detection script to determine the presence and version of Flash Player. A lot of older websites haven't updated their scripts in a while and GR is the same way. Older "detection" scripts are based on a one (1) digit version number for Flash Player. 1 is 1, 2 is 2... 9 is 9... BUT 10 is 1 again, and so is 11, 12, or 13 according to the detection script. I'm pretty sure you still had version 9 when you installed it, but have since updated to a 2 digit version, and that's what's causing this.
Since the message you're seeing specifically mentions version number and NOT a missing Flash Player, it can't be that you needed ActiveX and didn't have it. You DID and do, and a version higher that 9, but GR's script can't detect a two digit version of Flash Player.
You can try a "clean install" of Flash Player (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846), but since the problem comes from GR... I don't think it'll help.

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER UNINSTALL ISSUE- FEB 2015

POSTED FEB 2 2015
hello fellow mac users - I have an adobe flash player question...
I am sure everyone is aware of the adobe flash player vulnerability that came out late January 2015.   Initially when I saw that, I promptly removed flash player on my machine and installed the new version 16.0.0.287.    A day later when I started my machine, I saw a Flash Player message indicating I have to download again. I googled and found out Adobe actually only partially fixed the vulnerability.
Exasperated, I decided to say bye-bye to Adobe Flash for good by uninstalling Flash Player.   After uninstalling, I went to Youtube and played a video - it shows that its using HTML5 codec to play the video - so far, so good.
The issue I am having is that since I uninstalled the Flash Player, whenever I start up my machine I am getting this "Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller" pop up window.
The first time I saw it, I clicked on UNINSTALL button and it will say "Adobe Flash Player was removed".   But every day when I start up my machine, it still shows this pop up message and its driving me bonkers.
is there a way to remove or prevent this pop-up from showing up?   BTW I checked my machine's preferences and Adobe Flash Player is no longer listed.
BTW I have a iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011), Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Thanks for your input in advance.

RESOLVED - Feb 3 2015
I believe I have found the issue and resolution on that pesky Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller - thought i'd share in case this would help someone.
Since that f***ing Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller pops up each time I start up the machine, I thought I should check the "startup" items in my Mac machine. So I did my research and I did the following steps:
1. Click on Mac > System Preferences
2. Select Users and Groups
3. User and Groups window pops up - On the right pane you'll see "Password" and "Login Items" items - click on "Login Items".
On the Login items - I did see 'Adobe Flash Player Installer' - apparently this triggers the Uninstaller instead of Installer - but whatever - I have banned Flash Player from my Mac so I highlight this item on the Login Items list, and click on the minus sign button - it removed the Adobe Flash Player Installer from the Login Items list.    Then I restarted my machine - and voila - NO MORE PESKY Adobe Flash Player uninstaller pop-ups!!!! Hurrah!!!
Again this might help specifically for those who want to BAN Adobe Flash Player from their machines and are seeing the Adobe Flash Player Installer / Uninstaller every time they start up their machine. Apparently this is not a widespread problem but it still does happen. Good luck y'all and say goodbye to Adobe Flash Player (sorry Adobe, but I do still love your core products like Lightroom and Photoshop). Adobe should not have bought Macromedia (who originally developed Flash and Shockwave) years back but who would have known Flash would be such a headache (no thanks to cybercriminals)...

Kind regards Claire Van Eyssen

Hello,
This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, OR
Download the stand-alone installer posted at the bottom of the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If the behaviour reproduces, please clear the browser's cache and try downloading again.
Thank you.

Flash Player Security issue

All,
Please note that I've just had a chat discussion with Adobe support because of a security issue in the most recent update of Flash that caused services from several providers to become inaccessible. Does anyone have any information regarding this issue?

Unfortunately, that doesn't help me pin it down much. It sounds like we tightened restrictions on a behavior that was previously allowed, which caused them to need to update their content. The web is a dynamic place, and Flash has an obligation to be a good citizen in the larger ecosystem. As new web standards evolve and emerge, it's important that Flash Player is aligned with them to the extent possible. In the same vein, we work closely with partners in industry, academia and government to identify and resolve security issues based on the latest research and intelligence.
While we take backwards compatibility seriously, the security landscape looks very different than it did 5-10 years ago. The security of both end-users and the network is of paramount importance. With the quantity and age of existing Flash content (not all of which is generated by Adobe software), it's incredibly difficult to anticipate whether or not content will break when we change something, particularly if it's esoteric. We operate a public beta program and encourage content providers to participate in order to prevent unexpected outages as the result of changes to Flash Player. The beta can be found at http://www.adobe.com/go/beta/.
If your cable provider needs assistance in resolving the issue, their engineers are more than welcome to reach out to me directly.

Flash Player performance slowness and mouse lag

I've been having this problem for a while. I already did the usual google searching and didn't find anything useful. Specifically its games I play on kongregate and other sites. When they are using flash player I tend to get poor performance. If it uses a mouse cursor the mouse lags/skips across the flash player window, when it leaves the flash player area the lag doesn't occur. I dont have problems when I'm in games or general responsiveness of the system, I've plenty of space, low processor utilization, low memory utilization, etc etc.
I have windows 8.1, IE11, the latest flash player, video and system drivers are all the latest and greatest. I've found articles suggesting to turn on/off hardware/software gpu acceleration in IE, it also occurs in Firefox.
ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try this. Which browser (and version) are you using? My question was as much about the performance of Flash player in a 64 bit environment as it was about the video playback hardware performance. I'm sceptical of the shared video memory and throughput performance of the Intel-based 4500HD graphics package in my laptop. I'm worried that it might not be sufficient for full-screen flash video playback, or for large external displays, so I'm trying to explain the poor platback performance that I'm seeing, and hopefully show that it's not the fault of the video HW.
Which video HW do you have in your dell?
Thanks
