Re: [Flashcoders] Framerate performance
Hi Stevensacks,
I ended up at your site through the flashcoders-list.
As I do enjoy having an efficient workflow, or wish that I have - I got
your jsfl-scripts.
but I wonder why you, as you are a coder want the same name of
the libraryitem also on the instance - since one libraryitem can
be having mutiple instances.
This is what I have done (having two input alerts):
if (fl.getDocumentDOM().selection.length 0)
{
var libraryName = prompt(Library Name, );
var mcName = prompt(MC Name, );
if(mcName == ) mcName = libraryName;
if (libraryName != null)
{
var newMc = fl.getDocumentDOM().convertToSymbol(movie
clip, libraryName, top left);
fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].name = mcName;
fl.getDocumentDOM().enterEditMode(inPlace);
var tl = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline();
tl.insertFrames(2);
tl.convertToKeyframes(0, 2);
tl.addNewLayer(LABELS);
tl.convertToKeyframes(0, 2);
tl.layers[tl.currentLayer].frames[0].name = _up;
tl.layers[tl.currentLayer].frames[1].name = _over;
tl.layers[tl.currentLayer].frames[2].name = _down;
tl.addNewLayer(AS);
tl.layers[tl.currentLayer].frames[0].actionScript =
stop();n;
fl.getDocumentDOM().exitEditMode();
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Graphic design universities
Thanks guys. I like your choices, specially Cory Petosky's, but i would prefer somethink in europe or north america, countries in which people speak english or french or perhaps spanish (the languages i speak).

AW: [Flashcoders] frame rate guidelines
You will find the answers in the Documentation of class flash.display.Stage Quote When a MovieClip is playing, it progresses along its timeline at a speed dictated by the frame rate of the SWF file. Alternatively, you can override this setting by setting the Stage.frameRate property in ActionScript. /Quote Hope this helps, never tried to change the frameRate when a movie was playing General Guidelines are, that 30 frames looks good, but 60 looks better ;] P. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Dave Segal Gesendet: Friday, February 22, 2008 11:24 PM An: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Betreff: [Flashcoders] frame rate guidelines Are there any general guidelines about what frame rate to use when publishing an swf?

Re: [Flashcoders] frame rate guidelines
Hi Dave, Probably the best guideline to use for frame rate is the capacity of your end users' machines, that and the fact that the Stage.frameRate setting is a speed limit, not a guarantee. The processor capacity and the complexity of your swf in terms of processor usage (calculations, redraws, etc.) will determine what speed is actually reached. If you are doing a lot of animation, you'll want a reliable frame rate for your intended users. If you're doing forms only, frame rate is nearly irrelevant. 15 fps is reliable for most programs running on all but the slowest machines. 30 fps is reliable on most modern machines. If your program is fairly easy on the processor and your expected users have faster machines, 60+ is probably ok, but you may want to allow for the cases where that speed is not possible. Bottom line is, you're going to have to find your own balance in how much cool your users can afford. hth, Bob Dave Segal wrote: Are there any general guidelines about what frame rate to use when publishing an swf?
