Testing the frame rate in Flash Player isn't usually an accurate picture of 
performance because the browsers actually artificially limit the frame rate.

 Tom,
 
 Could you make the stats available after you complete the test, and
 also do something on the page so we know the test is running, and not
 just hung (e.g. A running counter)?
 
 Maybe that will give people some more confidence that  it is doing
 what it claims to be doing.

[flexcoders] Re: Flash speed test - please participate - only 1 click required !

2009-04-13 Thread tom93438
Wow !

There is some serious paranoia here. This page does exactly what I described in 
my original email, and nothing more. I created it to learn something, which I 
plan on sharing back with this community. 

I've been posting to this list for a while, so I would sort of hope that there 
could be a little more trust. 

Feel free to inspect the page, etc. But everything you need to know is in my 
original post (at bottom of this email).

@Cato - I hope you realize that this kind of scare mongering will seriously 
diminish the number of testers, and hence the quality of the data that I will 
be able to share back with you all... :(

cheers

tom

I don't know what Symantec is smoking, but we as developers all know how wrong 
software can be. I suspect it's objecting to the JS, which is lifted directly 
from an Adobe sample, which can be inspected here:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=18_Client_System_Environment_7.html

If that's a trojan then I'll eat my hat. 

Please don't turn this thread into a discussion of anti virus software. Please 
let's stay on topic..

For anyone who cares, I ran swfScan on the swf and it only does what is
advertised. A quick look at the page source and I didn't see anything fishy
there either.
