Hey Mick, Maybe it is better to give the user the option to select the processor speed rather than detecting it automatically. (that would be similar to picking your connection speed for a QuickTime movie). Some users may want to see all the effects even though they have a slow computer.
If you want to determine the performance you could just measure the time it takes to perform some task. e.g. var t1:Number = getTimer(); for (var i = 0 ; i < 100000; i ++) { } var t2:Number = getTimer(); var timeToDoThis = (t2 -t1); trace (timeToDoThis) Don't know how accurate this is though :-) Robin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mick G Sent: Thursday, 25 May 2006 9:27 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Test CPU/performance/rendering I'm building a fairly demanding site that has a fair bit of animation and rather than aiming for an average performance level of animation for my users, I'd like to turn off/on some features of the site depending on rendering capabilities of the users computer. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to achieve this? Off the top of my head I guess finding out the highest FPS the current viewer can achieve and flagging them as "high" or "low" performance depending on the results. Any other suggestions? _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
