Optimising flash performance for FP8

Hi guys,

I’m making my new personal website. Its complicated but its going well, however recently I’ve noticed that the more complicated parts of the site are slowing down quite significantly. I’ve improved the performance by removing obvious cpu hogs such as gradients and alpha channels but I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how to further improve performance. It is (of course) flash player 8.

What are the main reasons for flash slowdown?

Most significantly performance slows down when the browser window is big (the movie resizes itself you see).

Any advice or techniques would be great.

Steven.

onEnterFrame and setInterval if used in without being cleared out can be a problem… but there are so other things such as the new filters and blending modes of layers that i experienced to be consuming…
maybe you want to post some code and show us what you have done so we can help you more :smiley:

Hmm I cant really post the code. The code is very complicated. But you might be right, i suspect i have a few onEnterFrames still ticking over when they should have been deleted.
