Thank you for your tips. I'm sorry I think I wasn't clear.
Initially I ran a .swf in Parallels and the performance was incredible which ignited my interest to what else Parallels could do. I was thinking of using the Flash IDE for PC on my Mac via Parallels, that way the OS X doesn't need to invoke Rosetta. So while waiting for comments last night I installed Flash IDE for PC (trial version) on my Parallels and it does fell pretty snappy.
Only problem so far is my Parallels didn't have some projects' fonts installed and I needed to copy over the class files because the IDE couldn't find them on the Mac/PC shared directory. At this point I've only attempted to publish some projects but not start up anything new.
I was just curious if anyone else had done that and had any comments. On Jan 24, 2007, at 6:23 AM, Andy Herrman wrote:
I haven't tried it at all, so I may be way off here, but: If you're having performance problems, try playing around with the VM settings in Parallels. Specifically, take a look at how much RAM parallels is giving to the VM. If that value is too low then the virtual machine won't have enough RAM to use, so it will end up thrashing (paging stuff back and forth to disk). This can cause serious performance problems. Try upping the RAM and see if that helps. I assume you're running XP in the virtual machine. I want to say you should give it at least 512MB of ram, though if you're running a lot of things other than Parallels and only have a gig or so of RAM in your machine then you may not have that much to spare. You'll have to experiment. -Andy
