[Flashcoders] [ AS2 ] - masking performance in Firefox

2008-03-28 Thread Alex Burke

Hi All...
I'm using masks to reveal content on a site, and doing so by tweening  
the mask's _x value to move it over the masked content.
I'm publishing to Flash 8, at 30fps, and using Tweener. The mask is  
separated from the content on its own layer in each movieClip. (not  
created with setMask());


When I preview the site in Safari and IE it works just fine. In  
Firefox (both Mac  PC), however, the mask tweens are very glitchy.
There are the content shows up with streaks, flashes visible/ 
invisible, etc.


Has anybody experienced this before?

My first guess was that it was due to the frame rate dropping, but  
I'm not doing anything complex. Just moving an _x property a couple  
hundred pixels.
Is there something in Firefox or my publishing settings that could be  
tripping up the masks?


Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
-Alex

Have you got the wmode in your embed tags set to anything? More
specifically, wmode=transparent in Firefox is notoriously broken.
