many enterFrames vs. one

[>flashl!ght<]

so any more ideas Andre? Original FLA is zipped up there.... why are 300 onClipEvent(enterFrame)s of basic wonderer bots functioning faster than a centralized AI using?

I have no time for now to code some tests, but I will. This must be solved officially :)

This confuses me. It seems, that onEnterFrames on MovieClip are faster than a loop. AsBroadcaster is just as fast.

Please try on your own and check my FLA. It's a rough test, but I cannot see any stupid mistake.

What you see is not a line. There are 560 pixels as vector-graphics

To make it more confusing:

By testing through the IDE, a loop is faster. This could has cause the wrong interpretation in the past. The question is, why ? Its allways good to know :)

By testing through the IDE, a loop is faster

Think you could provide a MX version so I can test it in Flash?

At any rate, it's the SA or HTML plugin that matters, sincet that's where it would be used. And also, I used an actual AI script(although very very simple - wonderer AI) to closer simulate a real life example...

So I'm still very confused as to why multiple onClipEvent(enterFrame)s is faster than a single onEnterFrame. Strille? Squize?

I'll have to compare multiple onClipEvent(enterFrame)s with multiple attachMovie() > onEnterFrames to see if maybe there's some speed in the onClipEvent usage directly on an MC

Single EnterFrame: ~101 Fps
Multi EnterFrame: ~65 Fps
AsB EnterFrame: ~65 Fps

Leechy -
would you mind testing my file?

[AndreMichelle]

@LeechmasterB: Did you test the file in the Flash IDE ?

I attached the zip as FlashMX again.

[>flashl!ght<]

multiple onEnterFrames applied to dynamic clips was about in between. So far, this has been my results, about the same in both IDE an SA/plugin

multi onClipEvent(enterframe) ~16fps
multi onEnterFrame ~13-15fps
single onEnterFrame ~11-12fps

[>flashl!ght<]

something wasnt quite right in the MX version, i couldnt see the line at all

however the clicking did change something:

single onEnterFrame ~ 50fps
multi onEnterFrame ~ 125fps
ASB ~ 125fps

Andreemichelle 2nd test:
(->ide and player same results)

Single: ~105 Fps
Multi: ~80 Fps
ASB: ~80 Fps


flashlights test:

centralAI-singleOnEnterFrame : ~ 25 Fps
centralAI-multiEnterFrame : ~ 32 Fps
centralAI-multiEnterFrames : ~ 31 Fps

I think the difference in the results depends mostly on if its flash mx or 2k4.
