I'm using Zinc 2.5 for my games (http://www.thecodezone.com/games/bulldozer.php).I haven't had any real performance problems between standalone andweb-based versions. My stuff targets the Flash 8 runtime and isn't areal performance hog, though.
I'm not upgrading to Zinc 3because the deployed apps will only run on XP or later. With 2.5 I cantarget everything back to Windows 98. ----- Original Message ---- From: August Gresens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Flash Coders List <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 1:13:43 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] zinc 3.0 overhead Anyone else find that frame rates drop significantly with Flash projects wrapped in Zinc? Despite claims of performance enhancements, I'm noticing a significant decrease in performance with an AS3 SWF running in Zinc 3.0 on windows compared with the Flash Player. Using the flex sample at http://www.bubblemark.com/ I found that the project ran about 50% slower on Zinc than in the flash player (25-28 FPS in Zinc and 47-50 FPS in the Standalone Flash Player 9). Kind of a disappointment for a product touting itself as a game development platform for Flash. Has anyone else been down this road? Note: I was testing with the trial version. Not sure if the trial watermark could slow down the performance that much or not.
