flash == slow

Kouji_San

<div class="IPBDescription">On certain browsers</div>Mozilla (and firefox), safari, camino are seriously lacking in performance when it comes to flash.

I have flash files @ 600*800, with minimal animation and a filesize ranging from 20KB-30KB, running at 30fps. YET THEY RUN SLOW AS 14 DAY OLD PUDDING. Anyone else having trouble with flash like I have with the browsers above?

Standalone Flashplayer and IE don't have any issues at all. Don't browsers all use the same flashplayer addon, if so why the heck is there a problem <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="???" border="0" alt="confused-fix.gif" />

Also I think 64bit 3800+ AMD venice should be enough /sarcasm mode off <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Try Opera (or Netscape or something). That'll tell you if it's a universal (sans IE) thing or if those browsers just suck.

I find when the flash is really big, sometimes I just save it to desktop.

Yep I do that as well.

I think I've found the culprit btw. I'm currently using <a href="http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/" target="_blank">SWFobject</a> to implement the flash objects (it has a lot of positive sides). And I'm guessing that the problem lies with this javascript.

I've tested the flash object by directly linking @ them so they play in the browser without using html/javascript to show it on the page. And the performance is good, yet on the site when including it with SWFobject, it lags up the browser severely (scrolling and tabbed browsing becomes slow as a snail glued to the floor)

[edit]
Correction, It seems that wmode --> transparant will kill performance with flash content on the browsers I mentioned
