Exported to swf, terrible peformence?

[Outcast]

I just exported my mfa file to swf and run it. It usually runs with constant 60fps but when i run the swf file its barerly playable. I removed most of the "effects" but its still very slow and uneven in fps and "jerky". Is there anything you can do about this and why is this?

Without knowing what's in your game, it's difficult to say. What's in your game?

To copy a post I made earlier -

Look at the amount of objects on screen, and the size of images.

I also find that certain collision events combined with other interactive events can cause problems.

In our paint my world game, we have a seperate paint block, to a collision block.

If the player can collide with and paint the same block, it lags up in flash really badly with just a dozen objects. Otherwise we can get away with 100+.

The game also runs with very limited fast loops because they lag badly, and we are at 800-900 lines of event code I think?

Currently with the tweaks and been careful, the game runs very smooth.

I would also recommend not duplicating un-needed events :P Start of frame / always can be one line. Except maybe in specific groups that are activated.

Also semi-transparancy and other effects can cause a HUGE performance drop in my experience.

But as DavidN said, difficult to suggest things when you don't know what's in the app
