better FPS?

[LewxX²]

Hi,
I'm on the way to create a little 2D roll game,
but the fps sometimes goes very low,
does anyone know a way to improve my game to get a better fps?

Here's my game (beta version)
http://www.lewxx.eu/games/2dp.htm

I got in fight-mode: 15-25 / 50 fps

I think, later when I have added the sounds & more graphics,
the fps will become still less.


I've already included a fps check, that switch quality:

in StartScript:
quu=1
------------------
Every Frame Script:
if (fps <= 18){
    this._highquality=0
} else { // more than 18 fps:
    this._highquality=1
} 

this helps a little, but it's not very nice

PS: the enemies in fight mode look very awesome, look at them, fantastic!
No, just kidding. I have to create some real enemies, that stick-figures are just for testing.

or should I just wait for the new version of 3DFA with full Flash 9 support?

hmm, can't edit my post, just want to say, that i changed the maximum fps to 40
and the "fps for quality-change to" 15.

Hmmmm, I'd have to see the code to really help you improve the fps. By the way, how did you make the FPS display in the bottom right?

FPS Start Script:

fra=0; t=0; fps=0; 

Every Frame Script

fra++; 
if (getTimer()>=t){
    fps=fra*2.5+" FPS";
    fra=0;
    t=getTimer()+400
}

Oh ok, thanks. Sorry I couldn't help any with your game.

hmm my start script is about 515 lines

the every-frame-script is just:

// ===> FPS:
fra++
if (getTimer()>=ti){
    if ((fra*2.5) <= 15){
        if (quu == 1){
            quu=0
            this._highquality=0
        }
    } else {
        if (quu == 0){
            quu=1
            this._highquality=1
        }
    }
    fps=fra*2.5+" FPS"; fra=0; ti=getTimer()+400
}

// ====> Enemy attack 
if (in_fight){        //when fighting
    wait--             // goes about 10 -130, relative to enemy
    if (wait<=0){
        root.geg_att() // make damage
    }
} else {            // when walking on map
    w_upd--         // will be set to 15
    if (w_upd<=0){
        root.upd_bars()     // add some hp to bar and update it
    }
}
// ====> Read the level data, that should be loaded from an extern file
if (data.loaded && tt){//if loaded: read level-data (only once)
    tt = false    //tt=true at the start
    clv=1        // current-level = start-level = 1
    root.read(data.lv1)
    root.lvl_info()
}
level = "map "+clv    // just to see which level is shown (at the bottom) 

PS:
could the low fps be caused by included fonts, or by the gradients?


oh 2:15 in the night (in Germany), hmmm i think I will go to sleep now, tomorrow is school ^^
