Flicker and Tearing

programming flash
1

I’m 99% sure I have the answer to this already, but I’m wondering if anyone knows how to make large objects move without all this flicker and tearing I’m getting.

My thought is it’s just windows drawing…we probably need proper page flipping(like DirectDraw does) to fix it.

Here’s a crude example of what I am talking about.

Play it maximized for the full crappy effect.

have you tried it with a faster fps?

I assume it is a simple motion tween?

It is possible to get a smooth path across the screen…

I’ve tried it with a lot of rates, always with the same results. The one I posted is 20 fps.

EDIT: Oh and yes it’s a simple motion tween.

The fla file is here http://morganstudios.com/Square.fla

Not that there’s anything special about it. I spent about 10 seconds making it.

one of the scripting gurus will have to take a look at this, but I have seen smoother tweens…
