I submitted a Bug Report to Adobe about the Chrome build of the Flash Player a little while ago.

Not sure if it's an AS3 specific problem, but when I play a sound effect in the game we're building at the moment there's a small, very irritating lag time between when the action occurs and when the sound plays. This isn't an issue in anything but the Chrome flash player.

I FIGURED IT OUT! In the address bar, type "about:plugins" and disable Chrome's built-in Flash plugin. It'll run off the player on your computer which gave me 0 lag. Not sure who's fault that one is...

1: What's AS2? 2: Did you make sure that you have everything updated? 3: I think you might mean 'or' instead of 'of'. And 4: Are you sure it's Google Chrome, and not the computer? Maybe it was something else.

I've noticed this as well. FULL DISCLOSURE: I am a shitty programmer. I just do what I need to do to get my game to work. I definitely prefer working on the art side.

With that said, something definitely happened at some point either with browsers or Adobe that caused a ton of people to have lag issues with Alice. It's really bizarre.

I always liked Firefox, I always that it was for some subconscious reason, now I know why. o_o

This is one of the reasons why I don't have a favorable opinion of Chrome. I'm sticking with Opera although the computer that I have it on is horribly old.

Tom speaks the truth guys

You like AS2 Also? High five!

Also, if you go into about:plugins and disable chrome's flash player, it should reduce the lag :)

Java does the same running-multiple-versions-at-once thing :/

I am 70% sure this has to do with sticking complicated code inside the keydown / mousedown events instead of setting a flag and doing the complicated work in Enter Frame

I've always just thought that chrome was pretty darn slow for everything but youtube.

I find that every browser doesn't work except for Opera. FIrefox and Chrome used to be cool, but now they're not :(

Also Tom I recently lost my keys and the keychain is no longer in the store, in fact many of the toy items are missing. What put them out of production?

Magical-Zorse 2012-09-19 22:23:37

holy balls I thought it was just my shitty comp but now flash games are running a lot faster.

danman113 2012-09-20 00:20:26

Does this mean that we're getting a fix? I like chrome too much to switch.

Dunso 2012-09-20 05:52:31

Opera is best browser.

AS2 for life!
