Took a break from my writing to wrap this utility up. It allows you to adjust Flash’s framerate by setting a custom, global property called _framerate, just like you would set the _quality property. I find that it is easier to slow a Flash movie down in both speed and CPU usage than speed it up beyond it’s default framerate (default being the framerate that you made the SWF at). Regardless, it’s helping me so figured it would help you all.
Please tell me what you think of it!
Per requests from users, I updated it to use a local version in the case your not connected. I failed my first test of the occasionally connected model, hence why I’m not on the beta. :: JD hangs head in disgust ::
Every so often, a component comes along that is not a frikin’ widget, but instead just one cool as hell movie clip. Here’s <a href=”http://flashcomponents.net/component.cfm?id=318&nav=2″>one of those</a> (via da <a href=”http://www.fullasagoog.com”>Goog</a>).
So, I made a tool to help me out. It gives you the key code, key ascii, and the character hit without you having to code a quick swf to find it yourself like I’ve had to do 50 million times. Off to the left, called “<a href=”https://www.jessewarden.com/downloads/JXL%20Key%20Tool.mxp”>JXL Key Tool</a>”. A Flash panel.
BTW, Anyone know how to size a Flash panel and/or access the top right drop down menu?
