I now have the unBrix demo running at 60FPS - smooth as silk (almost, there are a very few small hiccups, nothing like in the previous demo - I have one last optimization left that I think will clean that up). The things I did were to make sure GPU acceleration is working (the bricks were red previously) - and preallocating (instantiating and storing) any and all objects I might need, and removing reliance on build in black box methods like hitTextObject. Actually, I separated the entire game engine into simpler shape objects (x, y, width, height - all int - final classes, no getter/setter, no inheritance) and did all the hit testing movement calculation manually on those, then apply that to scene in the render phase of ENTER_FRAME. I'll try moving it to RENDER event and see if that yields any improvement too (which'll be hard to spot!). Doing all that preallocation jives with what is mentioned in the packager for iphone dev guide PDF: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/packagerforiphone/packagerforiphone_devguide.pdf In particular: Allocating fresh blocks of memory is costly. It can slow down your application or cause performance to lag during animation or interaction as the garbage collection gets triggered. and: As memory fills up, iPhone OS notifies other running, native iPhone applications to free up memory. As these applications process this notification and work to free memory, they may compete with your application for CPU cycles. This can momentarily degrade the performance of your application. For me, memory allocation has been the biggest cause for stuttering and visual lag in Flash on iPhone. I haven't posted the results yet, because I only finished this work at 3am. ;-) Also, certain properties like cacheAsBitmapMatrix aren't available in the Player swf builds (to run on Android or Frash) so I'm not certain a posted swf would truly represent these improvements (I'll try it anyway though).

I've actually had a bit of luck, and I'm currently operating on the theory that the problem lies with memory allocation/deallocation and the garbage collector. This seems to apply to any situation where the player might create objects that will have to be collected - including events (the event object - passed on dispatch), and maybe even functions in general (args array?) - and certain built in methods like hitTestObject, or txtFld.htmlText. Constructors are a killer. I'm in the process of refactoring this: http://www.unfocus.com/unBrix.html to aggressively remove all reliance on black box APIs (like hitTestObject) and create 0 (zero) new objects per frame, except the two event objects (ENTER_FRAME and possibly RENDER) and touch/mouse events. I should be done with that tonight, and then I'll have a better idea of what kind of impact that has if any on the performance, and most importantly on the lag spikes (for lack of a better term). In general, I'll also note that Frash (the hacked Android player on iOS) works far better in terms of scripting than the iPhone compiler - I hope the recent changes in Apple's ToS means that Adobe can just ship AVM2 and skip all this AOT compilation, since AVM2 from what I can tell, performs better anyway (it should help make the compile times bearable too). From what I'm seeing, the scripting has a definite impact on performance, much more than the folks at Adobe are letting on (maybe they aren't aware?). Kevin N.

Re: [Flashcoders] Best (fastest/memory efficient) way to animate bitmaps
We use the single Bitmap many BitmapData method on expensive animations (having pre-cached various timelines as arrays of BitmapData) outputting them on the frame rate by reassignment of the Bitmap.bitmapData property. It's been a while since I wrote the engine we use for it but I optimised/benchmarked it a lot and I think it was the best way - especially if you've multiple instances. Many, many times faster than playing a movieclip that's for sure - and faster than doing copyPixels from a master sheet. Of course - it can have a hefty memory footprint for longer animations so management / cleanup is important.

[Flashcoders] CS3 vs CS5
Hi, I am still using Flash CS3, considering moving onto CS5 (we'll need to target player 10 soon in our AS3 projects so need an IDE upgrade to publish the visual elements - all our AS3 engineering is done using FDT/Flex SDK). I guess I am after straw-polls? Has anyone picked it up recently and started using? Just wondering if there are any drawbacks and/or excellent new stuff that helps workflow?

[Flashcoders] Flash 10.1 problems on Mac OSX / Firefox
I've been running player 10.1 debugger (latest version), and subsequently the main release and I am finding sometimes on OSX / Firefox it seems to not render to the screen; I get either a white screen or a partial rendering of 1 single frame which then stays static. The app seems to be running; I see trace output on debug player and URL requests. If I restart it seems to be OK. I noticed this initially on our own stuff (all embedded via swfobject) initially but seems to be a problem on other sites (youtube/bbc). Just wondering if anyone else had noticed this?

[Flashcoders] Loading SWF file via Socket class / ByteArray
Hi, Does anyone know how to get an external swf (hosted on a regular webserver) into the Loader class - accessed via the low-level flash.net.Socket class into a ByteArray. It seems this is possible, but I can't find any examples of how to handle it either server side (we use Java here) or how the AS3 client would need to work. I have found this which looks like it may have been relevant, but the files have been taken down: http://www.bytearray.org/?p=32 If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it, Tom ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Loading SWF file via Socket class / ByteArray
Thanks Juan - I will try this out - the reason behind investigating this is for obfuscation; I'm interested in finding a way to load an asset into flash without triggering a standard http request (I guess URLLoader will trigger one). You're right about LoaderContext too - I think it needs to be set to the current context before you can read the byte data from the external file On 8 Jun 2010, at 16:40, Juan Pablo Califano wrote: You don't need to use a socket for this. Load the data with a URLLoader, setting URLLoader.dataFormat to URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY. You'll get a ByteArray. Pass that to Loader::loadBytes() wait for the complete event to fire and you're all set. Well, almost. If the loaded swf is in a different domain, you need a crossdomain. If I recall correctly, this case also involved some LoaderContext particular setup (can't remember the details, though). You don't need to do anything server-side if you are serving the swf as a normal file.

[Flashcoders] XMLSocket connection in flash 8 /AS2.0
Calling all AS2.0 developers who have experience working with XMLSocket connections.. I've recently been seeing an odd behaviour in an app I've developed which has a continual connection to a socket server. The symptom I've been seeing is the connection becoming inactive, the onClose event does not get fired, it just stops receiving XML. My current workaround is to monitor idle time on this connection and reconnect if a ceiling is reached. The current thinking is that this is due to some network/firewall/environmental issue and investigation is time-consuming, though a bug with flash has not been ruled out. I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar and found the root cause of it? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [Flashcoders] Clear Set Interval Q:
The most sensible way to use Intervals, which are very useful - but
dangerous when not managed correctly, is to use an implementation of
TimeOut, so you fire object methods after a given delay and the API you
use for this, automatically clears up the interval. I can speak from
experience as to the annoyance of debugging code where setInterval /
clearInterval has been used irresponsibly.
Eg:
class TimeOut
{
public static function create(interval : Number, scope : Object,
method : Function, parameters : Array) : Void {
var intervalID : Number;
var timeoutFunction : Function = function() : Void {
clearInterval(intervalID);
method.apply(scope, parameters);
};
intervalID = setInterval(timeoutFunction, interval,
parameters);
}
}
Usage:
import TimeOut;
function someFunction(arg:String) : Void{
trace(arg);
}
TimeOut.create(5000,this,someFunction,[I should be called after 5
seconds]);

Danny,
I think you're missing out by not using Intervals. They're extremely
useful (and efficient) once you get familiar with them.
If you're looking for one that you don't have to keep track of, google
Kenny Bunch Interval Manager. It takes care of a lot of interval
overhead and puts all intervals in one location (namespace).
To Muzak's point, I'm able to have multiple instances of the same class
each have their own interval running inside them. Do you mean if you
make the interval var static?
