I don't think there shouldn't be any difference between embedding in the

I guess the resulting binary file is quite similar, and lets you do the
same things with fonts.

Re: [Flashcoders] Why isn't my TextField multiline? AS2
I think the problem is that you're pulling your string from another text field. In that case, the characters are just characters, rather than control codes. This subset of your code works fine: var tmpField:TextField = this.createTextField(my_txt, 1, 0,0,100,100); tmpField.selectable = false; tmpField.border = true; tmpField.type = dynamic; tmpField.multiline = true; tmpField.wordWrap = true; tmpField.text = test\rtest; However, putting test\rtest in another text field, and then saying this: tmpField.text = other.text; shows the characters. If you have to pull text from another field, try using HTML and setting the .html of one field to the .html of another field.

The fact of the matter is, running at a higher frame rate makes things look smoother. Period, end of statement. No, in most cases, yes, but performace on some machines can actually cause it to drop frames and look even choppier than a lower framerate. It all depends on what kind of animation is occuring, what media elements are involved, and what the hardware of the end user's machine is like.

Re: [Flashcoders] FPS limit of flash player inside browser?
I've only had a chance to glance at this thread, but it seems that most of the replies are leaning this way. I agree with what appears to be the majority sentiment, expressed most recently by Jason. Many things will cause performance to suffer with a higher frame rate. Injudicious use of bitmap caching, large looping tasks... pretty much anything that requires a heavy load every enter frame. The higher the frame rate, the more often those tasks have to execute, and the less time you're giving them to do the execution. My rule of thumb is, there's no rule of thumb. Try 12, 18, 24, 31, etc. Don't expect to get consistent real world experience higher than the 18-31 frame range. There are lots of test files out there, that show high FPS but not on every machine, etc. On 5/8/08 10:52 AM, Merrill, Jason wrote: No, in most cases, yes, but performace on some machines can actually cause it to drop frames and look even choppier than a lower framerate.

Re: [Flashcoders] FPS limit of flash player inside browser?
Depends on the browser. Different browsers choke plugins in different ways. Two links: http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com/2008/04/off-bubblemark.html http://www.kaourantin.net/2006/05/frame-rates-in-flash-player.html Film is at 24fps... Disney animation, so compelling, was two-up, or twelve frames per second. Most of the bloated flash or flash cpu complaints out there are (I think) due to background ads with greedy framerates. It's best to be polite, and only take the processor cycles you really need. Others may be trying to use that processor too. But it's important to remember movies work well at 24fps because they capture slices of time and not static frames. An entire 1/24 of a second is present on each of those frames, while with computer graphics we have a moment frozen in time. Animation usually have lower framerates because of practical reasons: drawing too many keyframes would be an excruciating job. However, sometimes, when they want to achieve some better quality, they do push it over the top, and *then* combine back into the target framerate of 24fps; a good example is some parts of the animated movie Akira and specially Ghost in the Shell, where they created the original cut at 60fps or 120fps (!) and then frame blended back into 24 to give the impression it was a movie. Using more than 30fps on a flash movie gives a similar impression to our eye, although we're really limited to the display frequency as mentioned. So going over 60fps doesn't make much sense... but while I do agree it's best to be polite, thinking 24fps is everything we need on computer rendered graphics with no real motion blur is a myth. More framerate will give us a better result. Zeh ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [SPAM] Re: [Flashcoders] FPS limit of flash player inside browser?
Google flash magic framerate I have no idea if this still stands with the current Flash Player and the new VM, but there used to be magic framerates that worked better than +1 or -1 fps from those magic framerates, especially on the MAC. Those magic framerates all ended with 1: 21, 31, 41, etc.. http://www.brajeshwar.com/2004/magic-framerate/ This is something that goes way back (note the year in the url) so I'm not sure it still stands. Might be a good thing to find out actually.. Since this is a rather old trick I can't seem to dig up much relevant articles/threads on this. If someone knows of some old blog posts/list threads, please post. I currently use 31 fps both for Flash and Flex. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Zeh Fernando [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2008 10:27 PM Subject: [SPAM] Re: [Flashcoders] FPS limit of flash player inside browser? Depends on the browser. Different browsers choke plugins in different ways. Two links: http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com/2008/04/off-bubblemark.html http://www.kaourantin.net/2006/05/frame-rates-in-flash-player.html Film is at 24fps... Disney animation, so compelling, was two-up, or twelve frames per second. Most of the bloated flash or flash cpu complaints out there are (I think) due to background ads with greedy framerates. It's best to be polite, and only take the processor cycles you really need. Others may be trying to use that processor too. But it's important to remember movies work well at 24fps because they capture slices of time and not static frames. An entire 1/24 of a second is present on each of those frames, while with computer graphics we have a moment frozen in time. Animation usually have lower framerates because of practical reasons: drawing too many keyframes would be an excruciating job. However, sometimes, when they want to achieve some better quality, they do push it over the top, and *then* combine back into the target framerate of 24fps; a good example is some parts of the animated movie Akira and specially Ghost in the Shell, where they created the original cut at 60fps or 120fps (!) and then frame blended back into 24 to give the impression it was a movie. Using more than 30fps on a flash movie gives a similar impression to our eye, although we're really limited to the display frequency as mentioned. So going over 60fps doesn't make much sense... but while I do agree it's best to be polite, thinking 24fps is everything we need on computer rendered graphics with no real motion blur is a myth. More framerate will give us a better result. Zeh ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
