The sound needs to be on a frame and set to 'stream' if I remember correctly. This causes the flash player to drop animation frames in order to keep up with the target framerate.
If you think about how it works having a sound set to stream on the timeline so that animations can be synched tightly, you'll understand how this 'trick' works - the player needs to maintain framerate so that the audio track and graphical tracks don't lose synch and the audio streams smoothly. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Kønig Sent: 02 May 2006 17:23 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Can this be true? I am going to be back by my computer in a couple of hours and I will try that sound trick. If that works, I will be completly amazed! It is exactly an action game I am making so I need to at least be able to know what FPS my movie actually runs in. /Michael >From: Patrick Matte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Flashcoders mailing list <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> >To: Flashcoders mailing list <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> >Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Can this be true? >Date: Tue, 02 May 2006 12:00:03 -0400 > >I'll give you a precious trick to make the swf run faster : > >Using your favorite sound editor, create a new file, add one second of >silence.
