AS3 My flash object is making browser unresponsive overtime
Hey guys, this is my first flash project. It is a website for my dad and i decided to take this opportunity to learn flash. I made the nav bar using a tutorial i found from youtube and the code is this
Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var timer:Timer = new Timer(25);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, followF);
timer.start();
function followF(e:Event):void{
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseF);
}
function mouseF(e:MouseEvent):void{
master_mc.glow_mc.x = stage.mouseX-40;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, updateF);
if(mouseX<=40){
master_mc.glow_mc.x = 0;
} else if(mouseX>=360){
master_mc.glow_mc.x = 320;
}
}
function updateF(e:MouseEvent):void{
e.updateAfterEvent();
}
//------button code
master_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, glowStickF);
function glowStickF(e:MouseEvent):void{
master_mc.glow_mc.x = e.target.x;
}
//------links
master_mc.home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homeF);
master_mc.about_us.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, about_usF);
master_mc.services.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, servicesF);
master_mc.contact_us.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, contact_usF);
master_mc.specials.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, specialsF);
function homeF(e:MouseEvent):void{
var homeLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.renewal-dayspa.com/goldstar/index.html");
navigateToURL(homeLink, "_self");
}
function about_usF(e:MouseEvent):void{
var about_usLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.renewal-dayspa.com/goldstar/aboutus.html");
navigateToURL(about_usLink, "_self");
}
function servicesF(e:MouseEvent):void{
var servicesLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.renewal-dayspa.com/goldstar/services.html");
navigateToURL(servicesLink, "_self");
}
function contact_usF(e:MouseEvent):void{
var contact_usLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.renewal-dayspa.com/goldstar/contact.html");
navigateToURL(contact_usLink, "_self");
}
function specialsF(e:MouseEvent):void{
var specialsLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.renewal-dayspa.com/goldstar/specials.html");
navigateToURL(specialsLink, "_self");
}
The next thing is the slideshow at the bottom, which i used what i learned from the navbar project and some trial and error coding/googling to make. with this code here
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var img1FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img1, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true);
stop();
var slideTimer;
slideTimer = setInterval(nextslide, 10000);
var frame = Number;
function nextslide()
{
frame = currentFrame;
if(frame == 1)
{
gotoAndStop(2);
var img2FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img2, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true);
}
else if(frame == 2)
{
gotoAndStop(3);
var img3FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img3, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true);
}
else if (frame == 3)
{
gotoAndStop(4);
var img4FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img4, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true);
}
else if (frame == 4)
{
gotoAndStop(5);
var img5FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img5, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true);
}
else if (frame == 5)
{
gotoAndStop(1);
img1FadeIn.start();
}
}
//---- BUTTONS
buttons.button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button1Clicked);
buttons.button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button2Clicked);
buttons.button3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button3Clicked);
buttons.button4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button4Clicked);
buttons.button5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Button5Clicked);
function Button1Clicked(e:MouseEvent):void
{
clearInterval(slideTimer);
slideTimer = setInterval(nextslide, 10000);
gotoAndStop(1);
img1FadeIn.start();
}
function Button2Clicked(e:MouseEvent):void
{
clearInterval(slideTimer);
slideTimer = setInterval(nextslide, 10000);
gotoAndStop(2);
var img2FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img2, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true);
}
function Button3Clicked(e:MouseEvent):void
{
clearInterval(slideTimer);
slideTimer = setInterval(nextslide, 10000);
gotoAndStop(3);
var img3FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img3, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true);
}
function Button4Clicked(e:MouseEvent):void
{
clearInterval(slideTimer);
slideTimer = setInterval(nextslide, 10000);
gotoAndStop(4);
var img4FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img4, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true);
}
function Button5Clicked(e:MouseEvent):void
{
clearInterval(slideTimer);
slideTimer = setInterval(nextslide, 10000);
gotoAndStop(5);
var img5FadeIn:Tween = new Tween(img5, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 5, true);
}
//----SLIDER
var timer:Timer = new Timer(25);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, followF);
timer.start();
function followF(e:TimerEvent):void{
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseF);
}
function mouseF(e:MouseEvent):void{
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, updateF);
if(mouseY>=236){
buttons.slidestick.x = stage.mouseX-205;
if(mouseX<=205){
buttons.slidestick.x = 0;
} else if(mouseX>=715){
buttons.slidestick.x = 530;
}
}
}
function updateF(e:MouseEvent):void{
e.updateAfterEvent();
}
buttons.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, glowStickF);
function glowStickF(e:MouseEvent):void{
buttons.slidestick.x = e.target.x;
}

THE PROBLEM: If i leave the page with the flash on and say forget about it. Eventually my computer gets really lagging and my browser becomes unresponsive which i then have to force quit. I'm assuming this is because of the slideshow because for the navbar i followed a tutorial step by step. I really don't have a clue why its causing the browser to crash, my guess is because it keeps adding events? someone please help me!!!! thanks :]
Another issue that i have found out: I left the page on overtime and was monitoring the activity and overtime i saw that the slide show tweening began to freeze/stutter. Some pictures didnt fade in all the way, some didnt fade out all the way etc. I am assuming shortly after this is when the browser begins to become unresponsive.
