Thanks people. I've tried a few heavy mathematics and although I'm not getting a lineair correlation between CPU power and time the method took, it gives me a good enough idea when a user's computer is powerful enough for the website I created. Thanks again! 2006/2/2, elibol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Alias, I think what he means is the player 8 optimization: Reduced Memory Footprint Flash Player 8 implements more efficient memory management to improve ActionScript and Player performance. Faster ActionScript Performance ActionScript performance has been optimized in Flash Player 8. Rendering P

I think the old VM is version 1.0, and the new one is 2.0. This would make more sense, I'm not sure though. M. On 2/2/06, elibol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The VM for Player version 8 is optimized. 8.5 will have this optimized 2.0VM > for backwards compatibility, along with a newly written >

The VM for Player version 8 is optimized. 8.5 will have this optimized 2.0VM for backwards compatibility, along with a newly written 3.0 VM. Bart, either way, the method would report the time it took for the method to execute. If the machine has player 8, then it should just return a lower value,

Flash 8 does not contain the new VM. Only flash 8.5 contains it, and if you are running flash 8.0 content, it will use the 8.0 VM. Carry on as you were, you should be fine. Alias On 2/2/06, Bart Wttewaall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi list, > > I'd like to be able to tell if the user's cpu is u

Hi list, I'd like to be able to tell if the user's cpu is up for a heavy load of animations, filters and flv's with alphachannel. I remember a post about how the Flash 8 VM had been drastically rewritten so that cpu-usage and garbage collection acted in a whole new manner. In Flash 7 I'd write a
