[Flashcoders] Slow textfield performance - anyone experienced this?
Hello In a flash site I've created with large textfields the performance just grinds to a halt... I'm using device fonts and tried the embed options but that doesn't make any difference. It isn't a problem with the development test movie player. I've tested it in IE, Firefox, Safari and it is the same on all browsers on the same machine. Strangely it is only a problem on some computers - I thought it might be to do with having Flash CS3 installed but disqualified that theory. It doesn't seem to be based on the version of the Flash Player either, nor on Vista / XP. Any other ideas? Has anyone come across this before?

RE: [Flashcoders] Slow textfield performance - anyone experiencedthis?
Hmmm splitting into smaller textfields doesn't seem to help unless you mean really small textfields (like 2 or 3 lines each?) Also, this would stop the text from being selectable (which I would like to avoid) The problem seems to be related to the amount of text in the swf rather than the size of one particular textfield. Were you able to identify the specific problem? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adrian Ionut Beschea Sent: 08 February 2008 09:30 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Slow textfield performance - anyone experiencedthis? yes, I ran into that one once. my sollution back then was to split the text into multiple textfields Kevin Heppell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello In a flash site I've created with large textfields the performance just grinds to a halt...

RE: [Flashcoders] Export hidden layers turning itself off
That sounds about right - I did paste something in from Fireworks... I'll test that theory Thanks! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Van Cleave Sent: 08 February 2008 17:31 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Export hidden layers turning itself off I noticed it seems to happen when I paste something into Flash from Fireworks/Some other app On Feb 8, 2008 8:21 AM, Kevin Heppell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I've got Flash CS3 and I've found that every now and then the export hidden layers export option turns itself off...

RE: [Flashcoders] LoadVars maximum?
There are problems using LoadVars and POST in a frameset in IE too (a problem I am working on a workaround for) I don't know if you are using a frameset but this might confuse matters -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Bradley Sent: 31 January 2008 18:01 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] LoadVars maximum?

I am trying to send an array containing many thousands of entries to a php page for db storage. However when I get too much info into a loadvars property, it just stops working and sits there. What's the max I can send in one LV property? I am doing toString() on the array, but I guess I need to break the array into multiple arrays - just wondering what granularity if best for speed and such. Make sure you are using POST. POST and GET is limited to 2048 characters (in IE) in the request URL. If you are using POST, you need to ensure that the POST data is in the header of the transaction and not in the URL itself. IE, with loadVars, you send the request to a URL. The variables defined in the timeline where the loadVars is occurring is what gets added to the request header (if I understand the process correctly). If you're appending all these variables to the URL, it will not work. cheers, jon ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] POST from within a frameset
Hello, I've been struggling to get POST to work from a SWF inside a frameset. From Googling it looks like it is a (known?) bug - but I was hoping to try and find a workaround / more information. There may have been a previous post on this but I haven't been able to find it. Can anyone help?
