Optimizing Performance

What can I do to improve performance of my application?

There are many factors that can impact the performance of your application: system resources, animation, bitmaps, code efficiency, window size and shape.

Here are some ideas on improving performance of your mProjector application:

1.) We recommend following the Macromedia guidelines for optimizing your Flash playback:

2.) When playing in windowless mode, mProjector by default calculates the window shape with every frame -- a very computationally intensive operation.

You can turn this calculation on and off as appropraite with the call mWindow.freezeShape. When you want the window shape to be dynamic call mWindow.freezeShape(false); when the shape is constant call mWindow.freezeShape(true).

3.) Limit your frame rate to something that makes sense. Running at 30 frames per second is overkill for most desktop applications.
