RE: [Flashcoders] CPU Performance Profiling? (
You may be new to Flash development, but it's no secret that Flash performance on the PowerPC Macs is, to understate it, lacking. The only known solution is to take a deep breath and accept the reality that there is nothing you can do about the sluggish performance on those machines, and that, in most cases, those users account for less than 5% of your audience. You could stomp your feet and shout, you could get angry and say it's unacceptable, you could go home and beat your dog over it, you could throw rocks through Adobe's windows. But, you're not going to because you've achieved enlightenment and the ability to let that which does not matter truly slide. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] CPU Performance Profiling? (
First off hello everyone, this is my first post to flashcoders :) And while we're on the topic, does anyone know of an application or anything for profiling CPU usage in Flash? I'd just like to be able to see which parts of my flash movies are using the most CPU and then be able to focus on optimising certain code -k.

Re: [Flashcoders] CPU Performance Profiling? (
Thanks for your response Steven. I am a relatively new to the flash scene, but AS is easy enough to learn (similar enough to JS) that I've been able to develop fairly complex applications to date. Of course, the nuances of the platform escape me with my lack of overall experience and that has proven to be the worst part of learning Flash. I found the MM blog entry in which many have complained about a very slow Flash experience on Macs. It is interesting that I don't see this on the newer Core Duo macs, but I presume that's because of the architecture pushing more calculatings. On the issue of sluggishness in PP macs, I found that my application performs significantly better if it's the only element on the screen (i.e. embedded in a popup window) as opposed to be embedded in the page with static content. For most content, this is unacceptable, but fortunately the video player application can easily be opened in a fresh window.
